OK, so it's a cool plane and I know that TECHNICALLY it's not against the FARs to fly through an arch, but if that guy ever misses......well, both the guy and the plane are replaceable---we have 7 billion more people.....but not the arch. And even if he doesn't miss, this kind of flying is exactly what we don't need. Those of us who try to keep dirt airstrips open in places like Utah and Idaho face a lot of challenges and this kind of flying is ammo for those who want to close them.
@biplaneacro yeah, thats the turbine version, a matter of fact i am building a super skybolt and thinking about using a pratt n' whitney, if my wife lets me?

My dad had a skybolt when I was growing up in Mass. Yellow with red, It was such a cool airplane. If I ever get the dough I'll get my own.
