The Dawn Patrol RV Formation Demo is bringing formation excellence to Pacific Airshow. Flying 7 Vans RV aircraft, this squad of ex-military and civilian aviators has racked up over 5,000 hours of formation time, and it shows with every razor-sharp maneuver.
The lineup features Eddy Tohikian, Dan Hall, Paul Kessel, Randy Ball, Dan Hammond, Brad Peacock and Olga Sannikova - a crew dedicated to pushing formation flying to its absolute edge. And the real star on the mic? Their 14-year-old announcer, Alex “Pickles” Tohikian. With over 400 flight hours already under his belt, Pickles started flying at age 3 and dreams of one day joining the legendary U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds
Dawn Patrol is more than just a demo, it’s a showcase of skill, teamwork, and next-gen passion. When they hit Show Center, expect tight formations, smooth breaks, and the kind of precision that keeps the crowds eyes glued to the sky.
