If any of you get to Oshkosh and watch the aerobatics there, you one must wonder how any of them survive for more than a couple of years at it
I didn't mind the guys aerobatting Edges, Extras and the like low level at Oshkosh, it was somebody well known in a T34 I couldn't bear to watch - the pullouts from loops looked excruciatingly low and fairly hard - I looked at something else the other two days I was there. Mind you, the fact that I'd seen someone go in a few weeks before in a similarly sized aircraft probably didn't help.

Lecomber was always a joy to watch, wish he was still campaigning on the circuit.

By the way, it's not just the ground that can snag you - I can think of at least three people who have hit a tree after pulling out...
