It Takes A Lot of Work to Fly This Badly

[SSFilms365]

"daddy can we go fly?"

"HECK YEA!" lol Amazing how this guy can do this

[herosdiefreemen]

Absolutely amazing! I'd like to see this show at the Reno Air Races next year.

[hawk45653]

NAUSIATED

[xXBOst]

o.O hes flying good!

[GtaCd321]

how do you call that : PLANEJACKED?

[pabobfin]

Sorry I wrote before I heard whole thing

[pabobfin]

What is the plane and HP?



[jleebesaw]

thats wild! thats very entertaining.

[D4M0S]

Trophy Gained - Fly like a crazy bitch without crashing

[SuperTombox]

Great plane, and Pilot. Piper Cub.

Delicious



[wangyoutian]

is this a premedicated show?

[TheSpiritof1969]

@wangyoutian

It is a demonstration of precision flying at its best. What you are seeing is a series of highly skilled manouvres put together in a way that makes it look like a drunk is at the controls.

[182QKFTW]

Kyle and wife Amanda (wing-walker) had an accident in Texas resulting from an engine failure in their Waco. (March 2011) Sad to say she passed away months later from severe burns. Sorry Kyle..

[TheSpiritof1969]

@182QKFTW

That is so sad. I looked it up after reading your post and she had 3rd degree burns over half her body. When the engine died she quickly got back into the front seat but was badly injured when the plane took a hard landing seconds later. Trapped by her wing walking harness Kyle could not pull her out before the fire spread.

Both their fathers were killed while performing a stunt that went wrong a few years back.

[182QKFTW]

@TheSpiritof1969 Sad story indeed. It has been a tough year for the airshow family but they all have passion for flying and love performing..

[gr4l9um20b7o]

thats really flying on the edge!

[flavouredmax]

i wanna give this guy a high five

[LycoValleyRRFan]

Nice skills.

[2Aug2]

5 people are drunk

[iScottPiper]

be even funnier if he did this in the F-15's !

[frizstyler]

@iScottPiper that's what i was thinking,too...it would bew funnier if he "stole" a fighter.but then he would give bad ideas to several people

[Rouveli]

Can anybody tell me what kind of Engine it is ???

[audioentertainment]

@Rouveli - Chances are it is a lycoming O-320 or O-360 that will range from about 160-200hp. There are cubs out there that have less than 100hp

[zadeh79]

I would have never thought it took so much skill to fly that shitty.

[NIGHTEHAWK]

haha i was there, it was hilarious cause everyone was standing up screaming covering there eyes and a bunch of stuff.. good times good times :)

[daandebest96]

he haz ballz!

[shivrajvishnu]

Awesome !!

[SquidlySydney]

My uncle Female flies that badly...

[Bartney1994]

A REAL LIFE GTA!!

[jrcadet4]

Great flying! And nice to see an airshow routine that's been around for decades still performed w/ consummate skill.

[jeolmmum]

man, watching this it looks like there could never ever go something wrong during a flight without being able to recover from it.....

[vonjager]

Wow, that is some "horrible" flying! That takes a ton of skill and balls!

[nancycucesharp]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­ That is kool.(-=

[killobama2112]

no that is a lot of skill to fly like that with out crashing

[ALLERTORLOVER69]

best quote ever. "it takes alot of work to fly that badly"

[robert100xx]

Reminds me of Bob Hoover.

[eniko30]

wow, nice, so impressive :)

[SlickD217]

that is fantastic!!!!

[cardinaldriver]

I saw this guy's dad do "Flyin' Farmer" back at a Morosso Speedway airshow. Right across from Pratt & Whitney in FL. That takes serious instinct. Something far too lacking in today's flying community.

[rockstarJDP]

fairplay, that plane can take some punishment! 

[Avi8orKeith]

Dude, that is a beautiful plane.

[Ramster211]

That is very impressive

[levygonz]

chuck norris was on this plane

[XCHUSKYXC]

looks like he have fun with his new stolen airplane lets call the airforce they know what is to do....perhaps :D

[al119280]

what's the music please?

[flunkn70]

@al119280 The music is the "William Tell Overture"

[Jordache22222]

You have to be nuts a little bit to do this :)

[eddogbreath]

fantastic



[7amanyation]

it has a super engine 0:37 - 0:41 :S

[lovre666]

@7amanyation it's O-220....

[UGIZ]

scared

[shadowmorty]

Chuck,  is that you?

[MyMisteryMe]

Gosh!

[ypaul123]

amazing skills...

[HHSFHarry]

0:37 made me cringe...

[lorezimerman]

isto sim é ser piloto deverdade parabèns,obrigado pelo video.

[jadizdax]

Either an expert or an idiot.

[chestateegold]

they had something like this at the great georgia airshow. it was funny. haha

[airshowfansh]

Have yet to see Kyle fly the comedy routine but I love his performance in the Waco!

[clutchem]

This is crazy cool!!!!!

[rafikst]

Extra idea for the airshow! Nice!!! :DDD

[citabrianut]

Awesome airshow performance! I got to see Duane Cole land inverted once at an airshow I attended in the 70's. Duane could make his T-Craft talk to him. Duane will be missed; he died in his 80's in 2004.

[MallorcaGyrocopter]

Best and risky flightshow i ever have seen, greatand impressive. This Pilot and his plane is: TOP

[Leovenous]

Looks like a typical VATSIM pilot. :P

[Tata996]

He's asking for severe injury or death!!

[Leovenous]

Spoken like one who never crosses the street.

[Tata996]

I speak as someone who knows enough about aviation.

[DODwebdotorg]

Actually, anything but that. It's a well thought out and expertly executed display well within the limites of the plane and the pilot. You are putting yourself in a higher risk situation driving your car through town.

[Jerry4usall]

I've watched it a dozen times since I discovered it on AVweb just a few days ago. Amazing Flying!!

Thanks Kyle, for sharing this on video.

And thanks, YouTube.

And thanks, AVweb.

[huntwds]

Great show and flying,thanks for posting.I wonder if they need to repair the end of the wings after each show?

[uzzidechicago]

i thought it was real at plane theft

[cmteamigo]

OMG

[Hook47]

I saw his show live in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania several years ago. He's a real show stopper

[hogey74]

Yep thats pretty cool! And that sort of aircraft control is surely a sign a good stick and rudder pilot.

[butlerproman]

@Arlenamadra What? Like Chlamydia? Syphilis? Crabs? Herpes? HPV? Like that? NO THANK YOU!!

[justintomblin]

I was fortunate enough to see this performance in person at the Branson airport grand opening and first annual airshow. Kyle is an amazing example for kids and other aviators. Keep it up!

[blueflame53]

all i can say is ...wow..major skill, and majorly entertaining....keep up the great flying!

[VBT94K]

Truly awesome!It takes a lot of skill that to do something like that and not damage the.airplane. My respect.

[RealNewsRealStupid]

sweet

[thompa95]

you´re crazy xD

[JambockSydy]

Hello Mr. Kyle,

Congratulations for such nice act! Realy fun, very hard to perform, but you've done it beautifully!

All the best and great shows in 2010!

Sydy

[freddywithay1]

I mer Kyle and Amanda at Cleveland 2009..Great People. .They were doing their Wing Walking Pirate Routine then. Sure hope I get to see this show someday.

[PilotPete109]

Every airshow is dangerous! If he wants to take the chance.....great skill by the way. Amazing.

[saturnwing]

good skill

[N21X]

I would love to see his show!!!

Amazing skills!

[Treetop64]

Great act, pretty hard on the aircraft, though. I could see some copycat in a less well-maintained aircraft killing himself trying to do this.

Also, note that he's sitting in the front seat... How badly does that affect the CoG?

[ConAirProductions]

its a supercub... solo flight done in front seat :)

[LTF85199]

funny but dangerous, just far too risky, FAA should discipline this guy.

[slypsi]

Yeah it's funny amd a good act, but sort of makes a mockery out of aviation safety...

[iissyy123]

lol

[XaircraftX]

lol this is awesome!

[planecrazynl]

excellent show, awesome pilot

[sorted0blud]

wow crazy rudder movement 1:10

[Chubearishere]

lol, quite awesome! lol

[IdleGod]

That is awesome!

[rollercoasterfreak36]

wow

[bretatvs]

that show looks sweet to see.

[88119966]

[crapper1]
