Some aerobatics and music
Hi ya'll,
So yesterday I took one of the 'ramp kids' who love the airport flying. Here's a nearly unedited video - I recommend skipping the boring parts.
I used a few songs which might get flagged by youtube. If that happens, folks outside of the US might be blocked by the RIAA from viewing this video. Sorry about that.
RV intro flight

Looks like he had a great time.
And, parachutes worn, good job.---Hope you NEVER have to use them.
The double (triple?) speed stuff at the beginning is funny.

Me too! One of the things that seems to calm passengers after saying "here - you need to wear this chute, let's talk about how to use it." Is the line about "there are 5-7k flying RVs and no-one has ever had to use the chute." (to my knowledge)
I don't mention the poor soul that jumped out of his 8 sans chute back in the Matronics days. RIP

yep. Though I think for future videos I'm switching back to the 960p setting for the larger field of view.

Very nice.
Kevin, I'm guessing that your airplane simply wouldn't fly if you ever cut your hair  .

Definitely. In fact when I was getting my license back in a Cessna 120 my CFI noticed that whenever I was thinking/stressed I pulled at my hair. He'd say "Does Kevin need his blankey for this landing?"

Superman's cap
Kevin,
Superman appeared to be getting pale after you did the second loop. He looked pretty weak before his RV intro flight was over. Did you make him sick?
