First aerobatic experience

Had a ride in the front seat of an S2-A on Saturday with 1/2 Cubans,reverse half Cubans,spins,loops,roll of the top,inverted flight followed by a push (ouch!).
Hats off to you guys who do that all the time,the forces (+5/-3) are truly incredible-nothing can prepare you for that.
For anybody who has not done this-you must.You may not want to ever do it again but you'll never forget it.
Many thanks to the pilot-I asked him to give me the full beans and he duly obliged.
These a/c look a bugger to land with the restricted forward viz-a real handful and I reckon any PPl dreaming of getting one of these should not underestimate the skill involved.
