Read Kershner's life story. Note that he left Moffett and crapped out
of the Navy the year I arrived at Moffett to fly All Weather Jet
Fighters (VF-23).

The Navy was just transitioning from Prop Fighters (F4U like he flew
in West Pac, etc) and one of my tasks was to give them the experience
of Air Force Jet Fighter operations including energy management which
was very important in those first generation jet fighters..

Reading his description of life events it seems he pushes the envelope
some like Zzzzom.

I see nothing he has done to warrant your placing so high on a
pedestal. He gives credit to only one document where he lifted some
data/technique. I also detect the wording of other manuals I have seen
through the years that he didn't give credit to.

Of course it may be just how many ways you can say loop?

He says he flies one or two students a month.That's not enough to
maintain proficiency or write from a current background.

You keep asking for my credentials. What do you want, my Military Form
5 where every flight I make in 28+ years is listed. There is at least
one or more pages per month depending on activity and totals well over
350 pages and about 2 1/2 - 3 inches thick weighing 3-4 pounds.

Or my formal education of BS with work on a MS.

Or the Patent number of my patents?

I'm married and have four grown daughters with three grand children
and three great grand children.

I'm over 21 and legal to buy 'booze' so drink Vodka on the rocks.

My GA Flight Logs are pretty thin as I didn't log a lot of the time
because I wasn't trying to build to any number of hours since I had
over 6500 in heavy iron.

It looks like there are several different ideas about acrobatic flyng
on this thread. I've expounded on mine so others can list their way
and I'll set back and might learn somethng??? One is never too old to
learn it is said.

I don't suffer fools but can be moved by facts.

Fly safe and keep the ball in the center unless you are slipping the
excess altitude off on final or landing in a cross wind.

My reference is years and years of doing acrobatics and teaching
same in both conventional aircraft and jets.
