Only takes one lesson....

In case you didn't see Today Show's Ann Curry's lesson from Michael Goulian:

OMG, I can't believe that! She learned a sequence in one lesson! She rolled from inverted to upright and stopped on a dime, did all those maneuvers for the first time and she isn't even a pilot!

I have 40 freakin' hours in the plane and I can't do all that!!!!!

That was a nice segment and Mike is a great spokesman for GA and aerobatics. I've never met Mike but the people I know "in the biz" tell me he's one of the nicest guys flying. The airplane, by the way, is an Extra 300 (Mike flies a Cap 232) and belongs to Brian Howard who also provided the hangar. It's named "Achtung Baby!" (wish I'd have thought of that).

Before you give Ann too much credit you need to fly that sequence in an Extra.

Right click. Save to disk. Play from disk. Delete if you don't like it.

It's too big for dialup tonight...

Thanks Frank! It worked! :D

A good segment. Gee, it looks so easy. ;)

That Lenny Kravitz song is one of my favorite aerobatic songs; good music for getting pumped.
