Ghost Writer Air Shows delivers a dynamic, multi-act performance that captivates audiences from start to finish. This is not just an aerobatic routine—it’s a full-spectrum aerial experience.
By day, the Ghost Writer roars across the sky with high-energy aerobatics—loops, rolls, and towering vertical climbs—showcasing the raw power of a classic warbird pushed to its limits. As the sun sets, the performance transforms into a breathtaking night show, illuminating the sky with thousands of LED lights and explosive pyrotechnics.
What sets Ghost Writer apart is its versatility. From thrilling aerobatics to immersive nighttime spectacles and even skywriting that turns the sky into a massive billboard, every performance is designed to engage, excite, and leave a lasting impression on the crowd.
Ghost Writer Air Shows is piloted by Nathan K. Hammond, a highly experienced aviator with thousands of flight hours across a wide range of aircraft—from vintage biplanes to modern jets. His aviation journey began early, soloing at just 16 and earning his pilot’s license at 17.
Nathan’s airshow career began in 1998 flying the deHavilland Chipmunk, where he mastered both aerobatics and the specialized art of skywriting. In 2016, he took ownership of the aircraft now known as “Ghost Writer,” continuing its legacy while elevating it into one of the most unique acts on the airshow circuit.
Today, Ghost Writer performs across North America, combining decades of experience with a passion for entertaining audiences through precision flying and creative aerial displays.
