🏆 THAT’S A WRAP ON THE 2026 WORLD AEROBATIC CHAMPIONSHIP! 🇺🇸✈️🇫🇷

With last night’s closing ceremony at the legendary Surf Ballroom & Museum, the 2026 World Aerobatic Championships has officially come to a close.

And what a championship it was!

🥇 Florent Oddon of the French Aerobatics Unlimited Team has done it again!

At the 33rd FAI World Aerobatic Championship in Mason City, Iowa, held August 24–September 2, Oddon secured his third consecutive World Champion title.

Already a two-time champion in 2022 and 2024, Oddon has now made history as the first pilot ever to win three consecutive FAI World Aerobatic Championships. An extraordinary accomplishment in one of aviation’s most demanding disciplines. 🏆🏆🏆

🇫🇷 FRANCE ALSO TAKES THE TEAM TITLE!

The French Unlimited Aerobatic Team claimed first place in the team championship, powered by the outstanding performances of:

✈️ Florent Oddon
✈️ Mikaela Brageot
✈️ Sébastien Souchet

Their combined scores once again placed France at the very top of the world stage.

But while the competition may be over, we know that an event of this magnitude doesn't happen because of the pilots alone.

❤️ A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY!

This championship would not have been possible without the magnificent support of the General Aviation community at Mason City Municipal Airport, the incredible volunteers who gave their time and energy, and the communities of Mason City and Clear Lake who welcomed competitors, teams, spectators, and visitors from around the world.

And a very special thank you to Wayne and Heidi Forbes, who worked tirelessly to organize and bring this world-class event to North Iowa in just over two months. Their dedication and determination were nothing short of remarkable.

From competitors and crews to volunteers, airport staff, spectators, sponsors, and our entire community — THANK YOU for making history with us. 🇺🇸

What an incredible few weeks for North Iowa, for aviation, and for the Mason City Municipal Airport.

Until next time… keep looking up! ✈️
