Peter Lagergren, 56, is one of the solo aerobatic pilots for Trojan Phlyers. When not traipsing around on the TPI airshow circuit, Peter is the Chief Technology Officer of a satellite data communications company located in Vancouver, British Columbia. He is the architect of numerous real time data systems used in remote monitoring. 

A former Army aviator, he joined Trojan Phlyers in 2000 and has been active in promoting the formation aerobatic display team. Peter has over 4,000 hours of fixed and rotary wing time and flew over 250 missions as a helicopter gunship pilot in Vietnam. He says he likes the T-28B because it is about the same power to weight ratio as a Cobra, except it makes infinitely more smoke and noise! He has a commercial license with ASMEL, rotorcraft and instrument ratings. He also is an “Authorized Instructor” in the T-28 and holds a low-level acrobatic competency card. He also holds a formation card from the North American Trainer Association.  

When home he is the husband of Julie and the father of Winston, a fledgling aviator. Peter is also an active brown- and blue-water racing sailor.
