I think the ultimate in stupidity at these shows took place a couple of years ago when someone decided he could do low-level aerobatics in a P-63! A P-63!!

Some might say your willingness to comment on things you know very little about as the "Ultimate in Stupidity"

1) The aircraft did not experience a high speed stall. What makes you think it did?

2) Most of the Unlimited Class are modified. Do you have problems with them as well.

3) The P-63 is a fighter aircraft. Fighters do aerobatics. Why do you think it should not be able to?
