Perhaps one of the most exciting 1/2 hours of my life! Didn't take off or land, just a couple of right banks and a couple left banks. Not much to you experienced pilots but quite a trill for me. That's all-just had to share my experience with someone!!!!!Damn, it was neat.

Thanks,
Steve

And here I thought my 7 patterns in a Cessna was a big deal. I'm painfully jealous now. I think I hate you.

Congratulations!

Congratulations Steve,

Thanks for reminding me what I am missing. The Tiger I spent some time in has gone north and the only other one I know of that was close to here ended up in a paddock (well about three actually) after learning that Aeorbatics in a sixty year old aircraft carries some degree of risk!!!!

But I assure you, you will NEVER forget the feel of an open cockpit!!!

regards

Darryl

A cup to the dead already-
Hurrah for the next that dies!
