From some of those in cockpit views it doesn't even look like he wears a chute. Maybe he figures he never has the altitude to need one....

I think I saw one for sale on Barnstormers and it looks like a sweet ride :yikes:

I've seen much better from Peter Besenyei (sp???) Are the comments at the beginning supposed to make me sit on the edge of my seat or something :sleep: :smilewinkgrin:

Diana Nice article, thanks for posting the link! Thanks, I have a thread over on student pilot and then I got lazy and forgot to post over here :redface: Its going well so far, we started off doing a bunch of different spins and I started to feel a little iffy and I was frustrated since we...

Diana Congrats on the article and I hope I get to read it soon. You mention many helpful and inspiring people but you are too humble and you belong in that list as well. Thanks to reading your posts and corresponding via email I have finally finished my tailwheel transition and begun taking...

My thought exaclty. Doesn't mean you should keep it but donate it like others suggested and don't worry about it. If you're looking for an excuse to not take this woman flying again I don't think this is it. If it isn't safe to have her in your airplane that would be a better justification...

I can't answer the question very well because I haven't seen an actual show of Goulian's yet, just video clips so I have to go with Tucker. My favorite performer that I have seen live has to be Jim Leroy. He flew an awesome show and just had alot of good energy to his show and himself. Plus...

Bill welcome to the site and enjoy the flight in the Pitts. Let us all know what you think when you're done. Also where did you find a Pitts in Nor Cal to fly???

Well I had to choose "other" since my first actual acro experience came in a friends' 1929 Waco. We did a few rolls, loops, hammerheads, and spins and it was all great fun, all I can remember was I only had a lap belt and no shoulder harness like he did in the rear cockpit and I was gripping the...

Diana, Another classic! Thanks for posting this, your videos always give me bad urges to go spend money on more acro flying!!!! (which is a good thing) Hope all is well.

It sounds like they just want more money which is a bummer. Or maybe it is some weird insurance thing but I have only ever heard of a night check out, and that was good enough. Good luck, enjoy the stars.

I hope it will help others make better decisions too!!!

Unfortunately I can tell you what happens when an airplane strikes wires. It scares the hell out of you first of all, then when you realize you're not dead you get a little excited. It tears an airplane up pretty good but you can still manage to fly on and make a darn good landing with no...

I have to agree with both sides of this one. I like watching the guys twist around the sky in an extra or an edge but I LOVE watching the skill and grace of the pilots in the citabrias, stearmans, and like aircraft.

What the heck is that thing? I'm not sure you could get me into it.

Diana those are great pics. Thanks for sharing. You won't be sad anymore once it is finished I am sure!!!

Now we're talking........as for me I plan on continuing my training to make myself a better pilot and do what I love.........fly aerobatics. I am no where near the stages of competeing yet but hopefully with persistant training and practice I will be there soon enough. Thanks for the couple of...

Maybe it is the winter weather or maybe us aerobatic poilots have spun our last spin, but we haven't had a post in almost a month!!! Where is everyone? Spring will be here before we know it and then its time to hit the skies hard!!! I love reading what everyone has to say about different...

Ron - I am a young guy, who loves to teach (I happen to be a teacher) and would love to instruct if you don't mind paying for my I.R., my commercial, and my CFI!!!! Then I would probably quit teaching biology and just teach flying. J/K of course about you paying for my ratings but I assure you a...

Mike sounds like you did just fine. Only one suggestion though, maybe next time you want more practice and it is busy at your airport try and go to another airport close by that may not be so busy and you can get more time working on landings. But once again good job.
