Had a flight instructor show me how to loop a Schweizer 2-33 in Napa Valley. Ship shuttered. Sure it wasn't rated for it.



Not sure the Jetson One could fly without all for rotors. Or auto-rotate if one went out. Watched a vid of one in Tuscany and it was very loud.




US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Yes, I saw that. It was a long time ago (60’s) when I was working on my private ticket doing recoveries from unusual attitudes! The taking the hood off and seeing the water up there part is still crystal clear though! 150s aren’t approved for any inverted flight as they have gravity fuel feeds and don’t like negative Gs! The instructor was ex-military and bought it a couple of years later canyon flying!
