Stunt Pilot

[Benggolf2]

This guy is UNBELIEABLE!!!!!

Phil Leslie was a prize-winning stunt pilot (now retired).

Here is the attached video of a performance by another stunt pilot who is, in real life a Delta Airlines pilot. His act at Air Shows is to pretend that he is a drunken spectator who rushes from the stands and jumps in a Piper Cub and takes off without any understanding of how to fly a plane.

The Piper Cub is actually specifically built to withstand enormous stress and has a very powerful engine.
Phil advises that this is actually the most dangerous of Air Show acts because of the low altitude at which the pilot performs. Phil points out that this pilot possesses unbelievable skill, which becomes obvious in the attached video. :eek:

No biggie, I've flown with several cadets who flew just like that...only not on purpose!

Just kidding, that's some impressive flying and the layout of that airfield makes it look even more amazing. On several instances it looked like he was "buying the farm" but obviously he know what he was doing. That was a funny skit to add to it as well, I wonder how many people in the audience actually believed it at first?

Thanks for sharing that, that's the second cool video posted on here this week (the other being the Yaris Fest Video (http://vimeo.com/6969507)).

Cheers! M2

Weird, it works under both Firefox and Chrome... I think the problem lies with how IE handles spaces on filenames ("%20" on a URL means space BTW)
