North American Airshow Demonstration Team
A radial-engined crop duster, a carbon-fiber race plane, and one pilot who flies them both down on the show line. One of the three demonstrations happens after dark, with fire coming off the wingtips.
Tryg Aviation promo reel — 19 seconds.
Three demonstrations. Two of them in daylight, one after the sun goes down.
All three are flown by Mike Tryggvason.
day7 minutesGrumman G-164A AgCat
A seven-minute surface-level demonstration built on energy management and precision. Mike flies the modified 450 hp AgCat through a modern barnstorming ballet, painting the sky with dynamic color-changing wingtip smoke while sharing the aircraft's agricultural and military heritage.
night5 minutesGrumman G-164A AgCat
Designed by Sam and flown by Mike. Five minutes of graceful surface-level aerobatics that turn the AgCat into a pyrotechnic cinema — wingtip pyro, synchronized lighting, and familiar instrumentals. A rare night act built for twilight and after-dark programs.
day10 minutesZivko Edge 540 v3
A ten-minute high-energy demonstration in the carbon-fiber Edge 540 v3 that Mike flies in Air Race X — one of only eight pilots selected worldwide in 2026. The act showcases extreme roll rate, speed, and agility while introducing the aircraft, the race series, and the path that put Viking 12 on the world stage.

Radial-powered airshow demonstrator
A three-seat agricultural aircraft modified for airshow excellence. The 450 hp radial gives it an imposing presence and an unmistakable sound, and it carries both a color-changing smoke system and daytime and nighttime wingtip pyrotechnics.
Carbon-fiber air race and aerobatic aircraft
Known as Viking 12, this single-seat carbon-fiber aircraft is one of the most capable aerobatic platforms flying today. Mike competes with it internationally in the Air Race X series, where it is flown at the edge of its considerable performance envelope.
The Pilot
Mike flies all three demonstrations — the daytime AgCat, the NightCat act after dark, and the Edge 540 v3.
He is one of only eight pilots selected worldwide for the international Air Race X series in 2026, racing as Viking 12. That is the same airplane you will see on the show line.
