Sweet, Troy.

Never gets old

 

[AdamZ]

That always amazes me. Very cool!

 

[HPNPilot1200]

+1. Fun stuff.

That guy is having too much fun. I'm jealous.

Give'r a try in the Aztruck (with a full load of dogs no less.) I look forward to the video

Wow. I never fail to be impressed by that move.

No, no, not going to do that. I think that would be a bad idea.

 

[Dr. O]

Wonder what the dogs think of it?

denny-o

 

[dmccormack]

I just finished Forever Flying, the Bob Hoover biography.

Wow.

I wondered that myself. My guess is that if you were smooth and maintained 1g through the whole loop, they shouldn't be freeked out at all.

It is a posative G manuever and if done correctly and coordinated they would not know the difference. Neither would you if one could keep his eyes closed through out the roll. Smooth is good...

 

[Ted]

The dogs are pretty ambivalent to anything so long as it's positive G and not too bumpy. Of course sometimes you get a dalmation that insists on barking the entire trip...

 

[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

No, no, not going to do that. I think that would be a bad idea.

I would tend to agree - I'm sure Bob Hoover could do it, but neither you or I are Bob Hoover.

He tells the story of doing this in some transport aircraft with a bunch of generals in the back drinking coffee....
