I just took a ride in a Texan!

I just got back from doing aerobatic maneuvers in an AT-6G Texan out of Taylor Mun in Texas.  It was a blast!  After the first few minutes, I was doing rolls, Immelman's, cloverleaf's and a couple of others.  I have a tape of it, and I'll post it on SimTV as soon as I get it onto digital format.

If anyone is interested in this type of flight, it's not TOO expensive (around $400 US) for a 30 minute aerobatic flight.

That's a lot of moolah for that lesson... but I'm sure you don't care. ;D

That's pretty sweet!  A Texan would be so much fun to fly!  

Wow, that's quite the price tag, but I'm certain the experience far outweighs it!  

That monster radial eats up a lot more than the the Decathelon I rent for acro training.
