Stearman Flying at Jabara

Postby The Ruptured Duck » Tue May 27, 2008 12:26 pm

So there I was, sitting in the pilots lounge watching Lewis Hamilton win Monaco because there were no airplanes to be seen for miles to fuel, when I heard a radial engine.  It was a PT-17 out of Lloyd Steaman Field in Benton, Ks.  When he landed me and the customer service girl sweet talked our way into a ride.

Sitting on the ramp

Rolling down 18.  The weather had improved by the time I went up

Right turn out to the NW practice area.  (Here at KAAO we fly right hand into 18 to avoid Beech Factory traffic)

"Wanna do a barrel roll?"  
Of course
Image

Also did a hammer head and 2 clover leaves (like an exaggerated chandell) to line us up to the runway
Image


Good shot of 18.

Over flew the field then cut hard right to a down wind, base then final

Geeese, yeah he did, it was like pulling teeth


It's OK... you'll get over it. Just go up in a 172 for an hour or so, that'll cure you. ;)
