[QUOTE="TheMediaevalFighter, post: 2021, member: 8"] Having a history of "doing" things in the air I love it although I can understand that being there on the day may well be boring. Watching on the TV what they do with the aircraft and having some understanding of what is required to get an airframe to actually do that it just staggers me that they are able to achieve such a level of flying. I was lucky enough a few years ago to have a couple of jollies in an aerobatic Pitts Special bi-plane and the pilot, an ex aerobatic world champion pulled a couple of +9/-8 moves for me whilst doing the aerobatics. It is very difficult to find words that get close to describing the experience...... [Edit] Actually should have said, although I do not know the specs of the current planes the Pitts had a 0-60mph of 3.8 seconds and could take off in 200yds from standing start........My first trip the pilot took off as soon as possible, as in full accelleration, climbed to about thirty feet above the runway, turned the plane upside down, went vertical and exited the airfield by leaving over the point that we had started the take off......oh and due to the dynamics of the plane he was in the rear seat and I was in the front seat...... :) :) :) [Edit] Take care TMF [/QUOTE]
