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.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit, but fear not if so. Should the Bunyip
become known, his secret is safe and shall remain so.
For your interest, the two people are Seligman and Sutton.
No, don't know them myself, but I think one had A CJ 6 ferried from Cal
a few years ago?
Also, i reckon you also knew a Pinto/ F86 driver that bit off more than
he could chew?
