Goodyear aviation tires sponsoring aerobatic champion Patty Wagstaff on North American tour

Stunt aviatrix Patty Wagstaff and Goodyear are reaching new heights as the company will be outfitting her Cirrus Extra 300S aircraft with its Flight Custom III tires.

“I am happy to be affiliated with the world’s largest supplier of aviation tires and am looking forward to being part of the Goodyear team,” says Wagstaff, who is based in St. Augustine, Fla.

“Patty’s grueling schedule and exciting routines demand performance from every part of her aircraft, and that includes long-lasting, high quality tires,” says Eric Varndell, Goodyear’s global marketing manager for aviation tires. “Goodyear’s Flight Custom III tires are reinforced with an extra layer of aramid, and its unique design helps provide more landings. It’s the only general aviation tire that has this added toughness,” he contends.

 “Patty Wagstaff is widely recognized as the world’s premier female aerobatic pilot,” says Pierre Jambon, general manager of Goodyear’s global aviation division. “We are thrilled that she has chosen to help promote Goodyear, and we look forward to a long collaboration.”

Wagstaff is a six-time member of the U.S. Aerobatic Team, winning the gold, silver and bronze medals in international competition. She is the first woman to win the title of U.S. National Aerobatic champion, and one of the few people to win it three times.

She performs her dizzying routines at airshow events across the U.S. and in Canada.

Goodyear is the world’s largest supplier of aviation tires for commercial, military and general aviation aircraft. The company manufactures aviation tires in the United States, Thailand, Brazil, The Netherlands and Australia.
