Hi everyone;
I'm a newbie here on your forums and just want to say "Hi" to everyone.
I'm a retired pilot who specialized in aerobatic instruction.
I'll just lurk here a while and get the lay of the land.
Nice to meet all of you I'm sure.

A warm welcome from the UK Dudley. I wish you well with retaining your sanity.
HIYA...aerobatics!!!
I've been itching to get a chance of posting a reference to a woman I love..SVETLANA KAPANINA... alas he does not know I exist.....ahem:cool:
In the first part the owner tells her the field geography and the tells her
"don't cook the brakes..OK?" I love it!

Kapanina is indeed a rare combination of beauty and talent.
She markets herself quite well and has performed right on up the ladder in professional aerobatics.
The hardest part about watching Kapanina is remembering whether she was on line or off line on her 45 degree upline rolls after she blows one of those patented air kisses of hers your way.
