The next frame is the touchdown. You look like you are asleep back there.

He looks frozen in stark terror to me.

[duCapo]

He should be, we just spent 35 min doing acro with me on the stick.

I envy your being able to get the chance to fly with him in the Pitts.

I bet you are happy you did.

P.S,

We have to get him a set of four gold bars to wear to bed.

[duCapo]

Yes I am happy I am. As for the four bars...........not so sure how that will go over. I'd like him come and fly the Beaver, but he is worried about some sort of payback? Not in my nature. Although I have put him and his Pitts through some terrible abuse, he has been great, very tolerant.

Your airborne creativity is unparalled.  Particularly
memorable: the 1/2 outside barrel roll in the exit
from inverted in the aileron roll, and the outside
1/2 snap in the inverted 45 downline exiting the
1/2 cu-8  ;D

They build them tough on the west coast - no
place for a candy-ass easterner like me!

It builds character. Seems to me this is a phrase i've been hearing many times a day for the last week, suck it up!
