So you've seen someone fling a Super Cub or a Citabria or Pitts or Stearman or Laser or T-6 or P-51 around the sky? They're all a bunch of wussies, pansies, and lightweights. Here, sit back and watch a REAL man do some aerobatics. Notice at one point he shuts a couple of the engines down, too, just to keep it interesting:

I don't know which was more impressive the loop or the pass with both right side props feathered.

I don't know which was more impressive the loop or the pass with both right side props feathered.

And notice that he's turning into the running engines, which is exactly the opposite of what the airplane and the forces of nature would WANT to be doing.

I once, at an airshow, saw a FANG C-130 (obviously very light) make a high-speed, low-level pass in formation with several warbirds--P-51, Corsair, and P-47--then they all made a tight formation circuit (near 90* bank) and came roaring down the runway again. But THIS guy wins the pie!

WOW! Major cool factor. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, not your typical stunt plane, that's for sure. A testament to how well they used to build them. There's still plenty of those old DC#'s flying in second and third world countries.

Thanks for that Snake, although I think I'm gonna be airsick.

I managed to talk my way onto one of these fitted as an aerial tanker a few years back.

My roomie at the time was a bunny cop who ran the tanker base during fire season.

Low level flight with terrain on both sides mostly obscured by smoke; and the cockpit conversation between the pilot and co-pilot would have made you think they were on the ground talking bowling scores.

Me, I was a bit more circumspect...

Bob Hoover put on a great show too. Saw him clip a steel cable off that tied two power
towers together. Luckily he had the gear down and the nose gear broke it otherwise he would have got it in the props. He landed, checked over the plane, got back in and finished the show. That was in York, Pa. back in the 80's.

That was very cool.

That was impressive....and the Cleveland Air Show is coming up very shortly!

 

[IrishCop]

That was awesome! Had my guts tied in knots just watching the video.

Wonder what that pilot could do with a fighter?
