Do you do that???? That is insanely cool!
The president of our company has a stunt pilot's license and I hear he does that with the fixed wings and helicopters. Well used to - I don't think the parent company lets him do it anymore.

He used to raffle off stunt rides with him for our charity silent auctions - I have heard of puking stories. I would puke for sure!

That just made my day, thanks for posting it, I will revisit this often as it bought back so many memories that I have. In 1980 (yes I know its a long while back but) I flew/demonstrated a small air craft, a cross between an ultralight and a experimental at Oskosh for the week and to be in the air looking down at the hundreds of wonderful aircraft and amazing pilots was breathtaking. Our ten minute timeslot each day was one of the best experences I have ever had and this video bought back all of the feeling I had for flying. I have been unable to continue to fly for some time and have not done so for many many years but it still remains a passion within me and this as I said has just made my day.

I will go out today on :spyder:and be thinking of the video as :spyder:has also made a difference in my life another truly great experience, and after all my small experimental also had three wheels.

NO, but I would have like to have flown one, my 'ride' so to speak was a high wing canard and also powered at that time by a two cylinder Rotec two cycle engine, as with most of BRP's engines very high revs but the two cycle had little torque at low revs. This engine is still used today in many experimentals and was used as it was very light (about 40lbs) and in an experimental weight, or the lack of it helps a bunch.

Very cool! :2thumbs:

I love military aircraft. If I ever hit the lottery, I'm going looking for a OV-10 Bronco and/or a UH-1 Iroquios (Huey).
