See the Schedule for details of when they plan to fly, but you don't want to miss this amazing and exciting exhibition. How do they do that??? Get a feel for their talents on YouTube - but then imagine them flying with the Great Salt Lake and the mountains in the background.

They'll be performing both Saturday and Sunday at 9AM.
