  • that is the coolest video I've ever seen!

  • I negotiated and flew this heritage flight with Jim Terry, he shot the video from in back while I flew the routine from the right seat. We did it three days in a row with the C-17 flying off me in all left turns. This "slung" the C-17 out so they had to stay in the power and crank hard to make it work, which they did. The end of the routine had them break left and land, I overflew them and pulled up for a steep right base opposite direction landing facing them. Worked perfect. Dan Gryder
