Got a few hours in the 650 way back when. Man, were those pedals
wide apart!! :-))

Yes, good airplane for exploring aerobatics for th eneophyte,
though. Unburstable, except for that prop thing.

That's what got Rollie Cole. Shame.
I miss the old days. I knew a lot of these people up close and
personal.Counting the people we knew on the jet teams and the rest
from the demonstration community, my wife and I have lost 32 friends
through the years to low altitude acro

Yes. i've lost a few as well. Somehow I managed to survie it though!

I don't even like doing them at altitude so much these days. Except
for smooth stuff. A freind of mine has just got a Yak 52 and is going
nuts in it doing flat spins and what have you.. Gives me a headache
just looking at him!

That's weird. I have a friend in Pa. in the financial business who's
into Yaks as well. (Gotta be careful saying this or PETA will be on my
ass here :-)
He has a 52 now and has just bought an 11. I believe he's trying to
put a P&W in the 11 as we speak.
Got another friend in Jersey who's LOA on Mig 21's.
I think the Russians might be invading after all :-)

I'd say we might have some mutual acquantences.
