First Aerobatics!

[Commie]

I went up as a passenger in the decathlon that my flying club uses and we did some loops and rolls etc.  To put it bluntly, IT ROCKED!  Kind of ironic that I loved it, is the fact that I wont touch a roller coaster.  ;D  Anyone else here had aerobatic experience?

Did my first aerobatics with me at the controls aged 15 in an RAF Chipmunk trainer. I still feel happiest upside-down

Did mine in the Grob Tutor, im the same dude, wont go near a rollercoaster.. but planes are 10000x better..

lucky, using a decathlon  ;)

One hour of dual in a very nice new Zlin 242... barrel and aileron rolls, loops... no spins or hammerheads as the horizon was a little too hazy that day, but... woohoo!! That Zlin is not the world's most powerful or fast aerobatic bird, but I couldn't have cared less!!
The only thing better than getting upside-down in a plane is getting upside-down in a plane... with your hand on the stick!!!

I tell you, I expected for the pilot to smoothly pull into the loop...nope! YANK! 4 g's for the most part.  I'm quite pleased at how I handled the g's actually.  Not to bad for someone that used to have a chronic fear of heights.

Lol Fun isn't it. Like Ozzy, by first experience of aerobatics was in the good old Chippie. The most interesting was a loop in the Jaguar - not much change from 12'000ft bottom to top!

It's addicting isn't it! I had my first taste of aerobatics when I was 11 in a Pitts and haven't stopped since, although I have down graded from a Pitts to a Yak 52 and Nanchang CJ-6. The only thing cooler is doing it with another plane three feet off your wing.

Ha!  I beat you all.

First aerobatics in an F-260, dogfighting.  Booyah!

Fun, innit?

First aerobatics in a...hmmm...wait, I've never flown aerobatics before.

Glad you had fun Commie!

[Rocket_Bird]

Nice!  Glad you had fun!  My only upside down aerobatic experience was in a cheesed up F-18 simulator.  Didnt feel right... ah well  ;D

Dogfighting in an Alphajet and Hawk was quite fun. Thankfully we were only using 6G...

Alright for some  :P (  ;) )

Nice. I did my first two years ago in a Decathalon over Pensie. Veeeeeery fun.

I pulled 5 in the 260.  Can't wait to do it again!
