Who was the guy who had the landing gear mounted on top of the plane so he could land inverted?
Craig Hosking was one of them, but there was at least one other!Originally Posted by FlyingRon

I remember thar airplane also and I wonder the same thing.
Rick Hosking in the late 80s, but I am told that there was one long ago in Europe, perhaps part of a German circus act back in the 30s.
Mr. Bob Hoover...of course!
For pure pilot skill it has to be Bob Hoover, although guys like John Mohr do a great job on "little" power too.
For pure holy s#!t factor, the Jet Waco and the late Jimmy Franklin. Kyle has jet mount hardpoints on the Demon 1 (a/k/a Dracula).

I was there that year.
That thing was amazing to watch!
I was wondering the other day what ever happened to him and his plane.
This made me chuckle, though...

Delmar Benjamin "retired" the Gee Bee after several years.
Gotta mention Leo Loudenslager, too.
