Guinness World Record Attempt
A good mate of mine is attempting to break the world record for most continuos rolls (408). The attempt is raising money for a charity.
Unfortunately the aircraft that we were going to film from won't be available due maintenance
does anyone know of a Cessna 182 or 172 certified for door off operations in the Melbourne Geelong Lethbridge area that would be available? As it's a charity we'd love to get mates rates 
Help if you can
The event is on this Saturday morning at 7am

After doing 408 in one direction, will he be doing 408 in the other direction to unwind?

Captain Garmin,
The attempt will be overhead Lethbridge Airpark at 7am this Saturday. The aerodrome itself is restricted ops at the moment due runway works. I'm not sure that it's possible to fly in, probably contact Gary.
And an extra special plea to possible non-radio aircraft that like overflying CTAF's, would you mind not doing this, there will be a Pitts & chase plane operating.
This is CASA approved event/display. Both pilots are formation rated.

Did I hear right, this didn't end so well? Real shame if true.

He smashed the record, un-official yet to be confirmed, there is a process to be followed. 987 consecutive rolls 
And in a remarkable display of airmanship successfully put the aircraft down in a paddock.

I believe the engine gave up short of 1,000 
What an amazing feat, he's obviously nuts but congrats anyway
I see that after all that the guy had to ask for permission to make an emergency ldg in a paddock,must have been a restricted paddock
Gotta luv the media!
I guess his next attempt (if he does that) would be to roll the opposite direction, so he can unwind
