Later this year, audiences around the country will get to see George Caceres fly through the air again when the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus returns with a new show. 

Caceres, 45, is an aerial trapeze performer and the troupe leader of The Flying Caceres, a group his father created in 1982 for previous iterations of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey shows. Based in Florida, Caceres is known as the first flyer ever to perform both a triple and a triple-and-a-half somersault in the same act.
