AEROBATICS IN FLORIDA

[JOE TYLER]

I'M OFF TO ORLANDO IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A CLUB WHERE I COULD GET A RIDE IN AN AEROBATIC PLANE.
I'M ONLY 1/2 WAY THRU PPL SO I DON'T SUPPOSE
I'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE A GO - OR WILL I?

MANY THANKS.

Pompano Air Centre - highly recommended.

No reason why you shouldn't be able to perform reasonable loops or aileron rolls after 40 mins of instruction.

Remember the only hard thing about flying is the ground!

Enjoy

If you fancy a treat, complete with great photos etc - Warbird Adventures at Kissimmee has two Harvards. 30 minutes, pop your brain the blender over there sir...

Logbook now has an entry in remarks... "aelieron rolls, loops, wingovers, cuban 8's, reverse cuban 8's, hesitation Rrolls, 3 point landing, wobbly legs, phased facial expression..."

Can't wait to go back.

Popped into Sebring in a C172 in the Spring of 1999 - seemed to me like aerobatic city - so much going on. Maybe it was in the middle of some sort of competition - but the sun was shining and there were all types of colourful aircraft turning themselves upside down and inside out!

Extra 300S available at St Augustine. Nice place to visit too.

Sound advice from Paulo. I too have done the Harvard bit at Kissimmee and can also thoroughly recommend it - excellent value, and you get to do it all yourself. When you've got your PPL and if you're still interested in aero's go to the Skyboard Aerobatics website - they are based at Bagby N. Yorks. Top instruction in top aircraft.
