Straight and Level, that is.........here is where the fun began........

......climbing in over the island to the "play" area.........
Image

Another view of the "Spit" as we continue to climb.........between the flying wires on the right side, you can just make out the control tower of CFB Comox.
Image

Beautiful view of the snow on the mountains overlooking Comox Lake with the village of Cumberland on the left .........
Image

The play starts now !......before I knew it, the nose dropped to build speed and we were over the top in a flash.......here is a wing lifting for more "G" fun........
Image

Pulling to the vertical for a hammerhead.........
Image

Kick the rudder, and 'round we turn........
Image

Here comes the ground and a squeeze as we recover from the vertical and into the next manouver.........sorry 'bout the lens cap dangling in front........
Image

Hey, thats just about as inverted a shot as I could bring to you guys..........
Image

Building "G"s again as we recover to normal flight......
Image

Afterwards and on the way back to the field, we did a low pass down a private strip in the foothills.........
Image

One more touch 'n go circuit and then in to a full stop approach.......
Image

Yes, that's Wendy standing beside Hal's wife in her car.....I asked her to come and shoot some ground shots for me.........
Image



The final curtain call is here........questions answered
