I'm sorry to dis-appoint so many out there for getting it all so wrong
Dennis, so good to hear you are OK, and it would take a brave person to stand up and say what ever the errors made on the day result in disappointment. The very best of display pilots have paid the ultimate price, the famed Neville Duke related how he very nearly came to a sticky end when performing a loop when demonstrating the Hunter to the Swiss at a high altitude airport. Forgot all about density altitude. Us plebes cock it up just trying to fly straight and level. Whether you continue or not with display flying, we understand, but obviously you will be sorely missed. Given the threads on helo aerobatics and the Bolkow wingover accident it will be interesting to read your account of the accident. Hope your convalescence is a short one.
