Ready to Fly?
The Utah Space Cadets are what happens when a family falls in love with flying and keeps inviting more people to join them.
Like many great adventures, this one started with a simple question: "What if we tried that?"
For Maverick and Ash, that question led to flying trapeze. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a passion. They fell in love with the challenge, the excitement, and the incredible feeling of stepping off a platform and trusting themselves to fly.
As they watched, Scott and Linda found themselves just as captivated and wanted to support them in any way they could.
So, naturally, they did what any reasonable family would do.
They built a trapeze rig in their back yard.

What began as a way to support Maverick and Ash's love of flying soon became something much bigger. Circus folk from all over the state found out and clamored to be a part of it. Friends tried it, then brought their friends. Curious visitors climbed the ladder for the first time and discovered they loved it too.
Our Space Cadets come from all walks of life. Some are lifelong athletes. Some never imagined themselves doing anything remotely circus-related. Some arrive excited. Some arrive terrified. Some only wanted to try it once, but fell in love and never stopped.
What keeps people coming back isn't just the flying. It's the encouragement from the sidelines (quite literally—our neighbors think it's the coolest thing ever). It's celebrating a first catch. It's helping someone overcome a fear. It's watching friendships form and confidence grow one flight at a time.
Most of all, it's about sharing something we love with people who become part of our extended circus family.
