When the conditions were right I have also seen him take off from one end of the runway with Charlie Hillard at the other end,in a super cub heading straight for one another and then both do a climbing quarter roll at the last moment to clear wing tips.
He would also often finish his routine by climbing a couple of thousand feet ,shut down the engine ,spin and land dead stick and taxi right up to where Bill Sweet was standing announcing the show.No sweat,literally !
I can still see him in the cockpit headed straight for the ground where dad and I stood with the poles and not knowing if he would pull it out negative or positive or even at all!
