What people are saying

  • “The fine folks at Showboss performed a flyover at my father's funeral at Miramar Cemetery. Beautiful tight formation, and missing man formation on second pass. Chris organized with the cemetery to have the flyover occur at precisely the right moment during the funeral. Very reasonably priced. Thank you so much.”

  • "Chris and his team of 4 did a flyover for my Grandpa’s funeral at Riverside National Cemetery and let me tell you, if there ever is such thing as a great funeral my Grandpa’s was it because of this flyover! Chris responded to all of my emails very quickly, he was professional and overall great to work with. I have nothing at all bad to say about Chris and his team. Truly, he made a sad day so very special and amazing! Thank you Chris."

  • “I have been working with Christopher at Showboss Productions for a small event and he has proven to be a valuable asset for this process. He seems to have an extensive list of contacts and every time I bring up an idea for my event, he knows somebody that can do it. Christopher maintains constant communication and responds to all of my messages in a timely manner. He delivers on his promises and if he doesn't think something will work, he will let you know and provide other solutions. Christopher is pro-active and extremely passionate about his work. Christopher also works on large events and aircraft flyovers. I didn't realize how easy it is to hire a group of trained formation pilots to do a flyover until I came across Showboss Productions. I highly recommend using Showboss Productions for your next event or coordinating a flyover for ANY occasion.”

  • "The WWII airplane flyover with the missing man formation in honor of my father’s passing was outstanding. The professionalism and attention to detail were reassuring to me as I attended to the myriad details required to hold a Memorial Service for my father at Miramar National Cemetery. I highly recommend them for anyone who wants to host an unforgettable event."

  • "You guys did a flyover for my Father's funeral yesterday. I just wanted to say thank you so much. It was fantastic and a fitting tribute to him. There wasn't a dry eye in the place, including mine. Your professionalism and airmanship was outstanding and we were happy and proud that you could accommodate us."

  • "Highly recommend Showboss Productions. They conducted a flyover and aerial demonstration for our local community/veteran event that had almost 5k in attendance and over 2.5k viewing via online broadcast. Professional staff and talented aircrews. They made our event spectacular and an evening to remember."

  • "Great job with the flyover. Best one we have had for our annual event to date. The last pass was directly over head and made for a great show. Lots of great comments and applause from all the veterans and other players participating in the tournament. Please share a big thank you with all the members of your team."

  • “March 4th my father passed away. As a retired Navy Master Chief in Journalism and PAO of the Midway Museum he met many people over the decades. One, of which, was the founder of Showboss Productions, Christopher "Oz" Van Stelle. Seven years ago my father got to fly over San Diego in a 1943 T-6 Texan and was absolutely thrilled when he got to take over in flight. Although it was June, he was celebrating his 75th birthday from January 18th. He used our family picture in front of that plane on his Facebook home page and it's still there. I got in contact with Oz about 2 weeks prior to my father's Celebration of Life onboard the Midway Museum to have a Missing Man Formation done. He delivered and then some. He had very kind words to say about his encounters with my father over the years and was more than honored to be able to provide this display of remembrance for him. Our family and friends, in person and online, enjoyed that final touch and would reach out again if so desired to utilize any of Showboss Productions' many offerings. Thank you, again, Oz, we really appreciate what you do! ”

  • "We worked with Showboss Productions to plan and execute two flyovers as part of the Military Review at the Army and Navy Academy (Carlsbad, CA) for Veterans Day, November 11, 2022. Four vintage aircraft performed. The flyovers were perfectly timed with the playing of the National Anthem and Taps. The second flyover included the missing man formation that had a huge positive impact on the attendees. We definitely plan on working with Showboss Productions for Veterans Day 2023."

  • "We had the opportunity to hire the Showboss planes for my fathers and Mothers funeral who were both pilots. Christopher made the process very easy. From scheduling, to performance...and all the questions in between. We asked for a special 2 plane missing man formation and he accommodated us with that request. The flyover couldn't have been more fitting and brought tears to everyones eyes. We couldn't have asked for a better finish for the funeral. Thank you to Christopher and the amazing flight team. Well Done."
