Fun to watch but don't think I would sign up as a passenger ...

Learned my lesson on previous video- before watching should I take a Dramamine??

Yes!

Im an aviation enthusiast and really appreciate the video. I got a thrill as she had to use both hands and arms while doing the radical maneuvers. The counterforce on the stick gets real noticeable during those high G spins. You can tell she's into it!! Thanks for posting this awesome video.

Harris,

Yes, most people do not know what the pilot/performer experiences doing aerobatics and how skilled they are. I flew a Bellanca Super Viking for years and quite frankly thought I was a real good pilot. That was, until I took a ten hour aerobatic course in a Decathlon. That was when I realized how unskilled I actually was! The Decathlon was somewhat of a dog. After that, I took another 4 or 5 hours in a Pitts S2B with spades. What a thrill.......

Hopefully, you have watched the Skip Stewart Memphis in May video as well.

A Pitts S2B?????? Uh……..YIKES!! The Pitts is still considered by many to be the most aerobatic aircraft in the world. Definitely 1 of my favorites. I only have around 5 hrs stick time with a Piper Archer 2. Nothing fancy, but what a thrill! The majority of my piloting experience is with model aviation. Was into it BIG time for 20 years. Yes indeed, I had 3 giant scale Pitts specials. I got a chance to fly that aerobatic monster at an air show once, that was way cool. Shiny side up Mark!
