[Rhodes22-list] Flying Video

[Brad Haslett]

Robert,

Must be fate.  I haven't been upside down in at least 25 years.  I stepped
outside the hangar this morning and the ex-husband of one of the best (and
best looking) female aerobatic pilots in the US was getting his airplane out
of the hangar.  I walked down to help and he invited me along for a joy ride
in his North American AT-6 (1940's vintage).  We went fall foliage
sightseeing with a couple of rolls along the way and some high speed passes
at a friends private airstrip.  Now I remember why flying is so much fun but
I'm glad he was paying for  the 40 gallons an hour at $4.80 per gallon the
AT-6 guzzles.
