Jason, the lady standing next to me in that photo is Ellen Dean who at that time was a member of the U.S. Aerobatic Team. I won a flight with her in a raffle in March '98. After checking out with the parachute, she treated me to about 40 minutes of the most memorable flight time I've ever gotten. Flying out of St Augustine, she flew the takeoff and landing only. I flew the rest of the flight. We did a few loops, some rolls, some steep turns etc. I will forget that experience when my dieing breath leaves my body. As for Ellen, she was friendly, charming, professional, and a pleasure to fly with! After we landed, she asked us...my wife and youngest son were with me...if we were in a hurry to leave. We hung around for awhile and she gassed up the Extra and activated a notam for the airport and took off. She treated us to her full aerobatic routine! Right over the airport! It was a fantastic experience!Frank still looks like you in front of a sweet tail dragger!
