Re: Mid air repair
That was fun. Glad osha approved and the dotgovt OK'd that routine, eh?
My Dad learned to fly in the Jenny and I think soloed after 5 or 6 hours of dual time.
they hadn't turned it into an industry yet.
thanks for the memories.

Re: Mid air repair
It may have been staged, what are the odds they had a film camera there? Still, changing planes and crawling down on the landing gear to attach a wheel is something I sure wouldn't try. Heck, I doubt you'd be able to find a lady with that kind of courage these days.

Re: Mid air repair
Not staged at all as in did it need fixing. No, it was well rehearsed before it was done at a airshow. Even if I was young, aggil and skinny I dont belive there is enough money in the world to make me try that! There is a tv ad that shows a young woman climbing a pinnical probley here in utah that just makes me hold my breath everytime I see it. I own a citaberia and did some light stunts years ago such as rolls spins and loops. That didnt bother me as much as getting on my roof to service the AC!
