Keith Leedom and the Movie One-Six Right
Keith still flies out of VNY, but in a Baron and not an aerobatic plane.
Very nice guy once you talk to him. He is a big guy and has a big, kind heart. I think the movie was pretty good.
Very cool that he is still alive, too. He flew very, very hard in the Russian planes but was always very concerned about training properly. Few competition pilots trained as hard as Keith-that is why he won so much. He outworked the other pilots and had natural talent.
I saw him tumble the Sukhoi 31 out at Apple Valley airport when he was training with the Russian team members. He could also put the 31 and 29 into an inverted flat spin from an upline-he spun it upwards-which looked very impressive with the smoke on. That was his first thing he did in air shows. Cool guy and nice to other pilots who were beginners.
