Although this isn't RV related, I just had to share this video in the interest of good ol' aviation fun and inspiration. Last weekend, good friend Steve Bergevin who owns a Giles 202 and flies opposing solo for the Renegades formation team, took Sheryl for her first real acro flight. As you can see in the video, she pretty much smiled from start to finish and Steve said she flew quite well when given the stick.
The G-meter showed +8/-4 at the end of the flight...not too bad for your first acro flight eh?! Shoot, that is more than I did when I flew with Steve. Not only did she not feel queasy, she said she wanted to keep going...definitely one tough lady I am lucky enough to spend time with.
The two things that stood out from our post-flight conversation were "addictive" and "I want to learn how to do that"! How many acro flying careers have started with those words...? Welcome to the "addiction" honey.
