The independent stunt flyer in the 1920s was often referred to as a barnstormer, a term describing pilots who traveled to various locations to perform aerial tricks and acrobatics for crowds. Notable figures in this realm included pilots like Bessie Coleman, who was the first African American woman to earn a pilot's license, and Art Scholl, known for his daring aerial performances. These aviators showcased their skills through thrilling maneuvers and helped popularize aviation during the era.

What are the positions in cheerleading?
Although, there are many positions in cheerleading, many are focused around a stunt. Within each stunt there are 4 positions. First, a flyer. The flyer is the individual who gets thrown up or pushed up in the air. A flyers job is to be very tight, and selfcontroling while at the same time flexible, aware of her surroundings and focused. Supporting the flyer there is a maximum of 4 people - two bases, a backspot and a front spot. The bases are the ones who are the most responsible for getting a flyer into the air aswell as her safety coming back down to the ground. Bases usually hold the flyers feet in a specific way, depending on the stunt. A bases must have upper body strength aswell as leg strength. It is very important the base's legs give most of the power in lifting the flyer. This prevents pulling back muscles. A bases aswell as the entire stunt group must keep their eyes on the flyer at all times. The backspot is responsible in assisting a flyer into a stunt aswell as security once the flyer is in the air. The flyer is usually loaded in by the backspot grabbing the flyers waist of butt depending on the stunt. When coming out of a stunt the backspot job is to support the flyers back. The front spot is the last part of a stunt. The front is usually present for ankle support for the flyer or wrist support for the bases. The front is also there for security incase of a fall When dismounting a stunt the front is responsible for the flyer's legs. There are other various positions in cheerleading such as tumblers who tumble throughout the rountine. The entire team usually participates in dancing.

Not JUST one person does the work. It takes everyone, including the flyer, to make the stunt happen. Bases- the muscle of the group they help drive up the stunt and keep it there they balance the weight together. Backspot- keeps the stunt steady (also takes weight off of the bases) Flyer- keeps body tight (legs, bottom, etc.) and hardens core muscles. The flyer pushes off the bases shoulders and keeps balance.

A sponge is a three based stunt where the flyer loads into the stunt in a sitting position and freezes (knees and feet together). Her arms should be on the shoulders of the side bases and should be completely locked out. The flyer should carry her weight in her shoulders. The side bases should be holding the flyers feet. The back base should be holding the flyer's ankles or the upper part of the flyer's legs. From a sponge, the flyer can easily transition to a standing position (half-extension, extension, liberty etc.). The sponge to a standing position and back to a sponge is a drill that is often used to develop control and consistency in a stunt team.

Well it depends on what kind of stunt are you talking about usually the normal stunt contains 5 members (Flyer, main base, secondary base, front spot and back spot.) (Back spot --->) __ (Main base--->) | ♥ | (<--- Secondary base) (Front spot --->) __ ♥= Flyer. (The lines are spose to represent people or there spots lol.)
How long are you in the air for at cheerleading?
A flyer's air time depends on the specific stunt. For example, a cradle down from a half would take less time than a cradle down from a full. It also depends on how many motions (such as scorpions or bow and arrows) the flyer is performing in the stunt. Complex pyramids will have flyers in the air for a while.
