In case you don't read AVWeb...



In September of 2003, Zoltan Veres flew his American-made Culp's Special biplane under Budapest's one-thousand-year-old Chain Bridge as part of a Hungarian national holiday.

Fun to do in simulators, and nice to see a picture of it in real life

This explains so much:

as part of a Hungarian national holiday.

Here's the scan of the full page:

Wow!...I think its Ozzy in the cockpit....ok...Mark now you pass the limits....
Meyekul...nice photo!...Ozzy its one of the moderators here in simviation forums....take a look at his shots at the freeware shots forum and you will understand why I wrote that above....

I was actually there chaps But not flying
This was the St. Stevens Day last year (St. Steven is Hungarys patron saint), and the bridge was only opened in 1849 (designed by one Mr. Clark, and built by another ), and was the first permanent link between Buda and Pest.
For really mad check out the pass made by Peter Besenyei in his Su-29, inverted under the same bridge
I did post some pics of this biplane doing its stuff at the national airshow the week before, brilliant

Ozzy

Ps. Scott I was grounded this day by the government on recommendation from my Hind driving friends Something about needing a big field to hover in

The same guy, Zoltan Veres, is going to attempt 70 continuous rolls to set a record on May 28 at 9:30am (Hungarian time) in Eger, Hungary.

I'll see what I can do
If he manages it it'll be all over the TV and newspapers here

Just been on the news here (about 1 min ago) that Zoli set the new record today, its been acknowledged by the Guiness Book. He is nearly as bok as me

Yep it was on AV Web yesterday, he did 70+ rolls in an Extra 300S, lost count, and kept going
