ZAR & his "Starship Pride"

      As Zar the gallant knight, Jimmy flew a Ted Smith Aerostar 600. The Aerostar was designed as a business machine, a device to move three piece executives around without wasting their time or messing their hair. It cruises at 265 m.p.h. and has a top speed of 300 m.p.h..

      The Aerostar’s sleek lines appeal to generations brought up thinking all airplanes are powered by turbines. Pilots and engineers, who understand for what the ship was intended, marveled at the gyrations it performed under Jimmy’s touch.

      Zar (Jimmy) received the first Art Scholl Memorial Showmanship Award in 1986 for this act, and in 1989 he received the coveted Bill Barber Award for Showmanship for "ZAR" and his acts in the wild Waco "Mystery Ship".

Jimmy performed ZAR from 1983 to 1991 at over 360 airshows.
