And now, for something completely different...
This is the first truly new thing I've seen in airshow flying since a
jet engine was added to a Waco biplane: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photoga...tSlowjump2.wmv All I can say is: Wow! I can't wait to see Skip do this "live"! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Skip's a trip! Met him at Ozark last year and got to know him a bit. He's
doing it all on his own, so to speak. He has sponsorship, but not enough to cover all the costs, and he's found them all on his own. He's got no admin team or professional support behind him - answers all his own e-mails to his website. I really admire his determination. And he's one hell of a pilot. I asked him before he did his display if he ever gets pre-show jitters. His reponse was very telling about his professionalism: "Nope," he said. "That's why they call it a "routine"." He'll be one to watch in the next few years. I've no doubt he's destined to be at the top of the game. Shawn "Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com...

"That's why they call it a "routine"." He'll be one to watch in the next
few years. I've no doubt he's destined to be at the top of the game. Agreed. I've known Stewart casually for several years now, and am always impressed by two things: 1. The gorgeous chicks he's always with... :-) 2. The innovation and determination he's shown in trying to break into a *very* exclusive club. If he doesn't kill himself trying to do stuff that no one else has every tried before, I think he's the next Sean Tucker. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
