Good Day

[Seanaldinho]

Well I started off the day with a 45 minute glider flight climbing from 2500' to 3600' in a few minutes.

Then I get on the ground a guy offers me a flight in his Starduster. I thought it over real hard and let him throw me in the front seat. So he takes off and we get 100' off the ground and he says "Your airplane, Im taking a nap."

We climb up to 3 or so and he says to try a few steep turns and get a feel for the plane. After that he flies us through a loop and said now your turn. God what a rush pulling that thing through. Level off build up a little more speed and around I take us again. Pretty cool looking straight down at the water

Then we do a few more manuevers and bring it back. What a rush! Ive been on aerobatic rides before but Ive never been the one doing the flying, It was 100X better.

I have a friend looking for partners in a pitts...

Hope you other had chutes on.

Of course, anything to please our FAA overseers.

Cool, I did my first and only aerobatics in a glider and it was half an hour of pure fun. They sent me the video too which I will now have to edit / upload to You Tube.

I occasionnally partake in unusual attitudes while flying the glider.

I video-taped that 45 minute flight and started to edit it and realized it was over my head. I did some very steep turns and a couple of parabolas for the sake of negative G's. Along with a spiraling dive (airbrakes out) once I had to get from 3400 feet to zero fairly quickly.

Still waiting...
