Aerobatics

"In Total Control"
Maybe not at this particular splitsecond - but any moment very soon...

.

         

Patty Wagstaff gave astonishing examples of her flying skills in the agile Extra 300.

.

In spite of the +/- 10 G's Load Factor
I'm not so sure about these Extra 300s

They seem incredibly difficult to control in level flight...

The pilot must have forgotten all about her instructors: "Keep your wings level!"


And the power plant isn't powerful enough.
Here the plane comes to a total stop
to tumble back to earth...

Lee Lauderback and Ed Shipley will probably not characterize their performance as aerobatics
but formations flying also demands a steady hand and a cool head.

 
         
     
  And a lot of practise      
         
 


But what about a high speed lowpass like this..?
