About Tryg Aviation
Mike and Sam Tryggvason are longtime air show performers who met in the industry and later married. They founded Tryg Aviation with their inaugural act, Wing Walker Sam, with Mike flying and Sam on the wing.
Beginning in 2026, the company announced Viking 12 Racing, one of eight international air race teams in the Air Race X series, operating an Edge 540 v3 in both competition and aerobatic air show demonstration. When military duties called Sam off the wing, they converted the AgCat into the NightCat Airshows pyrotechnic platform and expanded its capability to both daytime and nighttime aerobatic performances. While the performances have evolved, the mission has not.
Tryg Aviation exists to inspire the next generation of aviation and STEM professionals, by demonstrating that with courage and determination, even the most ambitious goals are possible.
