Pilots View - Barrel Rolls, Corkscrew turns, and more, over Pacific Ocean

An aerobatic flight over the Pacific Ocean in 2003, in an open cockpit Stearman. If you have the stomach for it, take one of these flights - best ride in the sky.
This is the type of plane, - the Boeing Stearman biplane - that was used to train WWII pilots.
