Mike Goulian's seemingly effortless aerobatic performances at events like EAA AirVenture are the result of extensive behind-the-scenes preparation.
He relies on a broad "aviation family," including his Goulian Aerosports team (e.g., crew chief Levi Fischer), air bosses, and air traffic controllers.
