Title: Sunday Flying
Post by: Seanaldinho on September 18, 2012, 07:34:06 PM
Well I started off Sunday with a 45 minute glider flight climbing from 2500' to 3600' in a few minutes.

Then I get on the ground a guy offers me a flight in his Starduster. I thought it over real hard  ;) and let him throw me in the front seat. So he takes off and we get 100' off the ground and he says "Your airplane, Im taking a nap."

We climb up to 3 or so and he says to try a few steep turns and get a feel for the plane. After that he flies us through a loop and said now your turn. God what a rush pulling that thing through. Level off build up a little more speed and around I take us again. Pretty cool looking straight down at the water  :D

Then we do a few more manuevers and bring it back. What a rush! Ive been on aerobatic rides before but Ive never been the one doing the flying, It was 100X better.

I have a friend looking for partners in a pitts...
