I heard about him flying most of the length of the field inverted. Has anyone else heard of this?

Is this the same Harold Johnson who served as mayor of Moraine, OH., flew a Waco in the Snoopy and the Red Baron show at Kings Island, etc?
-
thats why a crash back in those days would kill everyone but the plane was still flyable haha.

@geherrick It might be done again at Oshkosh.

All Ford 4-AT models are approved for single pilot operations without a type rating (but you clearly have to have a mulit-engine rating). The slightly larger 5-AT models require a special type rating.

That's cool! Your gandfather was clearly a very, very good pilot!

Thats my Grandpa!

can you fly that with only 1 pilot in a 2 pilot cockpit?
Long ago I knew a man named Troy Coback. Mr. Cobock told me he once had an air show and a pilot who stunted a trimotor ford.
Could this be the same airplane?

My guess is that this is the ship as I am not aware of anyone else performing this kind of act in a Ford tri-motor.

Thanks, we are presently rebuilding a Ford Tri-motor now and if all goes well we MAY do the routine again... but perhaps not too many times :)!

I don't have the specific date of this film, though it probably was at the 1938 National Air Races. He did perform his routine there.
