Yak 55 and acro intrigues me (I've done some basic in a super D but not much), but your post just leads to more questions. How is this really good (define "really good?") pilot getting an airshow friend back to flying, where, timing/logistics, costs, etc.?
That is something you would discuss with him. He is a veteran in the airshow world and can get that stuff easily worked out. He really misses it. Just needs a partner.
I mean, you have to impress other airshow pilots...You don't have to be that good, Yak 55 was designed for pilots to jump in cold and fly with no previous TW experience....it's true actually.
Partner, as in, financial partner in owning a plane?
He already fully owns the planes. A parter in an air show team. Doing shows together as a team. There are 2 Yak’s.
Exactly.
Ah, ok that makes sense. Sounds cool and hope it all works out. As much as I’d love one day to get into acro seriously and the air show world, my ~200 “vanilla” hours likely has me quite a bit under qualified.
