Wings ‘n Waffles

The Florida Air Museum presents Wings ‘n Waffles, our monthly speaker series!

Ken Rieder from Redline Airshows – Saturday, March 14th

Join us from 9:00 – 10:00 A.M. to enjoy breakfast (chicken and waffles, thus the event name). March’s speaker is Ken Rieder from Redline Airshows! Ken has been flying for 35 years and has logged over 13,000 flight hours. A former corporate and airline pilot, he is also a multi-engine flight instructor for land and seaplanes and an aerobatic instructor. An avid aircraft builder, he has completed four custom-modified Van’s Aircraft RV-8s and is currently working on his fifth. He now flies the Airbus A320 series as an airline pilot. Redline Airshows is a dynamic father-son formation aerobatic team based in Cincinnati, Ohio, known for delivering high-energy performances across North America. In addition to their stunning daytime routine, Redline Airshows is renowned for their spectacular night show. Equipped with specially modified wing tips, their Van’s RV-8s light up the sky with dazzling fireworks launched directly from the aircraft. 

Learn about how Ken got into aviation and what it’s like to fly alongside his son. Plus, get an exclusive insight on what it’s like to fly during the SUN ‘n FUN daily and night airshows.

Members of the Florida Air Museum receive FREE admission to this event. Non-member cost is $10.00 per person at the door, which includes a day pass to tour the Museum when the event is over, a $5 discount on a regular daily admission!

You can see Redline Airshows in the daily and night airshows during the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, FL from April 14-19, 2026!
