The Sukhoi 26M
Frank van Houten.
Pilot, Sportsman, Motivator
Frank and his Sukhoi demonstrate spectacular unlimited aerobatics. He entertains the crowd with a breathtaking airshow sequence. High speeds, extreme maneuverability and an impressive engine sound are a guarantee for a breathtaking experience.
This kind of flying is extreme aviation. Franks flying style demands the maximum from both man and machine.
In order to do this, Frank focusses on just about every detail. Many training hours in the air, but also physical training on the ground are an absolute must. Frank has more then 20 years experience flying air displays. He has great confidence in the aircraft, the technique and of course his own skills.
Some pilots call the Sukhoi 26M a killer and are afraid to fly it. Mainly because of it's power, agility and the skills it needs to be mastered.
But for Frank this is different. He has a big no-fear factor. Failure is not an option. Frank has guts and many years of experience that allow him to use the aircraft to the max. You can hardly call this reckless. This is total control. Precision and perfection. Franks talent and commitment is not often found.
This makes Frank "Woody" van Houten what he is. A true sportsman, a motivator and a dedicated aviation enthousiast!
Meet Frank van Houten
I've been a passionate aviation enthousiast for most of my life. My first flying experience was on gliders at the age of 12. So I obtained my Private Pilots Licence well before I was allowed to drive a car. Just a matter of priorities….
Through the Royal Netherlands Navy I was able to start a flying career in the Military. I started flying Lynx helicopters on board our ships in different area's in the world and on many Search and Rescue missions. I then got a chance to fly the P3C Orion, a four engine Maritime Patrol Aircraft.
At the start of the century the Private Jet market was booming and this was the moment for me to start a career in civil aviation. At the moment I fly the Bombardier Global 6000 for the wordt largest provider of Fractional Owned Private Jets. This operation is very exiting and quite different from flying airlines. There are many challenges and you never really know where you are going, which makes this job a blast!
Aerobatics has always been a major factor in my flying career. The performance and maneuverability of these aircraft gives you the feeling of ultimate freedom and a very thorough insight in what is aerodynamically possible. A challenge with no end.
Aerobatics is an extreme sport with a lot of potential. The unlimited variant in this sport is very spectacular. The manoeuvres these aircraft make. The agility. The engine sound and engine power. The eye catching paint schemes and smoke generators. All ingredients that easily create attention and assure that people look before they realize it!
Aircraft like the Sukhoi 26M are true eye catchers. In many different situations they are capable of creating a real WOW-factor. This makes them very useful in Marketing Campaigns or on Events.
These days it's about more then just an add or an event. People want to have an experience. They want to be part of the story. And apart from that, companies strive for long term relationships with their customers instead of just reaching the masses. Aviation and aerobatics can play an important role to achieve this.
It is my passion to show you how!
