This is video of us taking one of the neighbors' kids for a ride in the Technoavia SP-95 our team flew in airshows. Chris Smisson was the pilot - a true believer in getting kids involved in aviation. Smisson died at the 2003 Tyndall AFB Gulf Coast Salute airshow. Rest in peace.

  • Chris was one of my T-38 instructors in pilot training. He was an inspiration then. Years later, he flew my son ona ride just like this. My son is now an A-10 Warthog pilot that still keeps a picture of that day in his office.

  • This is what aviation is all about, right here! This kid is so lucky to experience the joy and magic of aerobatic flight so early in life. What a champ - negative Gs make him puff up like a chipmunk and he still doesn't lose the grin!! Well done!

  • What I wouldn't give to hear what the kid is saying.............

  • Did he puke

  • Great video .

  • The kids just like : "G-force? what G force? I'm just going to a rock a smile the whole time and not worry about it!" Very nice video. There in nothing better in this world than the joy of aerobatic flying, in my oppionion!

  • I new chris from out at West GA regional. He was a great guy, new what he was doing. I hated the day I heard he had crashed.

  • I'm sorry to hear about the death of the pilot, may he RIP, what a great thing to do to enthuse kids about flying and areally nice record for the little guy in the back seat. It was flying with my dad as a kid that started my love of flying and lead me on to becoming a sailplane pilot myself. (I'd fly powered if I could afford the fuel)!

  • I think this is a vieo OF a Pilot. He's just not got his license yet.

  • I started getting into aviation almost a year ago. I'm a bit older than this guy, but I'm still the local kid who loves flying. :)

  • Very cute. And well done! That's how we pilots should reach out to the next generation! :-)

  • GREAT video! Ahhhhh....
