OV9

I know some of you guys are interested in this stuff, popped up on my feed. From an uneducated person seems like he did a good job with it.

Blimey.

Of course, if they gave the same instruction to each of them: to turn right, that would have solved the collision course and avoided ambiguity.

2482 on the departure continue to respond to 2482. 2482 on the approach I will now refer to you as Planey McAeroplane

This was happening above me as I was getting in my car this afternoon. Loads of loops and vertical climbs. I nearly barfed just watching from the ground.

Can’t beat a bit of aerobatics, makes every rollercoaster feel mundane once experienced. Did a load flying with air cadets, in bulldog trainers where you were told not to pull any tape as the wing might fall off, those guys really put the planes through their paces and encouraged you to do it all yourself too. Fantastic experience

However nothing compares to doing it in a glider, something with wings like and no engine shouldn’t be as nimble as they are- silent stall turns are freaky!!!!

I’ve done an aerobatics experience - mostly with the instructor flying, but I did perform a few barrel rolls and an inner loop. Great fun as you say.

If you get the opportunity to go up in a glider do it, they say they run on thermals and physics but when you’re in one it feels like pure voodoo magic
