Aerobatics with Allison
Hi guys..Shortened version of another gal doing aerobatics..Allison has hopes of being a fighter pilot and is currently in the ROTC and has 2 flights in a C182..And a little help from yours truely.
She did pretty good I thought.
Oh and I know the clouds look a bit thick but I could see thru them at all times, despite what the video shows.
Frank
Still working on looking left and right during loops!

Delightful! Thanks for sharing. Even after flying mine almost 1000 hours, I still get a big grin watching videos like this.

This will be "required reading" for my three kids, especially the daughters  . What a great flight
As always, thanks for sharing.
As for the enemy, after watching this video, they should be afraid, very afraid!

Frank:
In all sincerity, you appear to be a fine instructor and you must have a very calming effect. I can't even get people to take the stick, much less loop or roll!

Aww shucks
Well thanks guys,
As I said I get much pleasure out of sharing the sport with others that don't normally get the opportunity.
Now my log book has more female ridees than male so I have been told to correct the balance!..The funny thing is the guys seem more reluctant than the gals..Weired.

Frank - you may just be the new coolest guy I know! Very nice video. I'd love to hear your instructions/conversations with Allison while you're instructing her on maneuvers. That would be very interesting to those of us that have zero experience with aerobatics, either as a pilot or passenger.
Thanks for the video.
