Default 2-33 Wanted

...Can you even imagine a high profile extreme sports
sponsor using the 2-33 for an aerobatic display team? I thought not.


Hey, in the airshow business, "different" equates directly to "memorable" and
"bookable." The problem may be not on the sponsor side, but the creation side.

I think it would be a major hoot to see (say) 2-33's performing roped-together
wingtip-to-wingtip aerobatics. Memorable for all? Dambetcha!!! (Born after
WW-II, I missed seeing such pre-WW-II bipe fighter exhibitions. Remember
Claire Chennault?)

"Anybody" can fly high-power aerobatics or energy-retaining, clean-sailplane
aerobatics. It takes real skill and manly men to fly aerobatics in J-3 Cubs
and draggy sailplanes.

I'll get started removing the 2-33's lawyer-inspired aerobatic restrictions
first thing tomorrow!!!
