The team performs several thrilling aerial maneuvers in freefall and under canopy. AAST utilizes large American flags, sponsor banners, canopy stacking, freefall formations, and other unique acts. Multi-colored pyrotechnic smoke is electronically fired and changes color in flight.
Colorful streamers trail behind the team's parachutes in flight.
All performances are choreographed to music. The Supernova night show begins after a brief freefall and the canopies are open. The performers electronically fire special effects pyro which send shooting stars, blazing comets, and bombs bursting in the air across the night sky. The jumpers are equipped with special strobe lights which make them visible until touch down on target. There is also special lighting for the target area.
