POMPANO BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Some aerial daredevils took to the skies above Pompano Beach ahead of their big showcase this weekend.

The Geico Skytypers performed a practice run at the Pompano Beach Air Park on Friday, just a day before the Fort Lauderdale Air Show kicks off.

The two-day event will feature the Skytypers as well as the F/A-18 Super Hornets and other aircrafts.

“You’re going to see airplanes do things that they have never seen [do] before, never thought an airplane could do before,” said pilot Mike Wiskus.
