Video: Aerobatic Ride in Seattle

Here's a video that shows a typical aerobatic ride on a beautiful day in Seattle last week. We're in the Extra 300L. The passenger isn't a pilot, and he'd never experienced aerobatics before, so I showed him a typical series of maneuvers. (For more information about my approach to introductory aerobatic rides, see the April 2013 issue of Sport Aerobatics, available as a PDF for download here.)

The maneuvers include aileron rolls, loops, half-Cuban 8s, hammerheads, point rolls, slow rolls, vertical rolls, and inverted flight. The video also shows a typical approach and landing in the Extra 300L at KBFI. More videos here.

That looked like fun!
