Jarrod Lindemann and RAD Aerosports

Jarrod Lindemann knew he would become a part of air show history after seeing his first air show and doing his first aerobatic performance. To date, Jarrod has logged thousands of hours in everything from training aircraft to private jets.

In 2020, Jarrod acquired the Jet Waco, a Taperwing Waco modified with the addition of a Learjet engine! With the Jet-Waco, Jarrod has realized a lifetime ambition of his to serve as an inspiration to young aviators everywhere. The mission of Team RAD is to inspire and excite individuals of all ages to take up flying.

Lindemann’s Jet Waco

A Pratt & Whitney 985 radial engine and a General Electric CJ610 (J85) jet engine are both used to power the Jet Waco. The 985 radial’s power is harnessed using a three-bladed Hartzell propeller.

Snap rolls, spins, tumbles barrel rolls, and hovers are a few of the tricks the SCREAMIN’ SASQUATCH is capable of, in addition to reaching speeds of up to 250 mph.

The aircraft can accelerate while climbing straight up because its thrust-to-weight ratio is greater than 1:1.
