Hard on the Wing Tips

[TangoWhiskey]

You've all seen the stolen airplane routine before at the air shows, but this guy takes it to a new level. Hard on the wing tips! And with the descending terrain beyond the runway, some impressive "disappear from view" then "reappear" stuff, too!

That was from the air show at the New Branson Airport that opened last May. On the first day when he did this act, I got to chase him out to the Cub. The valley he drops down into is about 400' deep. You should have heard the crowd when the first pilot went down into it, everyone thought there had been a crash.

"A lot of things you see in the routine things my dad taught me on how to control the airplane on the ground."

You gotta love parents with a solid grasp on reality.
