Reality Check for the "boys"

I'm far from naive.  Had I known that the thread mentioned was "it's intended response", it would have been different, I suppose.   I watched the film and was impressed with her abilities in the Sukhoi.     

Didn't mean to insult...sorry.

I'll see you Svetlana and raise you a Patty Wagstaff.

Yeah, Patty does some pretty incredible stuff.  I saw her do a 360 degree level turn............while doing aileron rolls.  (Try doing that in the RV in the practice arena and you'll realize how difficult that is)

I could Probably do that in a RV and scoop a few pounds of worms at the same time.

Really not an 'apples to apples' comarison.

Here is who she replaced:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD3fdKmMdQM

This (the style of flying...not the crash) is typical of the type of maneuvers the solo's fly for both the tbirds and the blues.  They will pull sustained g's longer because the aircraft is capable of doing it, but Patty's maneuvers are much more violent and pretty sure the solo's aren't going 8 negative.

Would be interesting to see each fly the other's plane.
