Anyone seen this guy do low altitude rolls and loops in a Beech 18?
It gives me the willies watching it. I must be getting old.

Actually, some of the stuff I saw Duane Cole do in a 90 hp Taylorcraft is more impressive to me. Square loops with 90 hp vs 900 in a BE18.

Beech 18, thats nothing how about a Lear 23? He did a fantastic routine in a Lear 23 at Sun n Fun 2002, it was topped off by a shuttle launch in the background during his routine.

But he did the signature Bob Hoover move, touch down on one of the mains, roll, and then touch down on the other main in a single pass down the runway, it was a fantastic show, too bad it was too expensive to continue.

Younkin performed this year as well in the Lear 23 at Sun N Fun.

He did, cool. I heard that he was not doing them because of the fuel charge is too much, or something like that.
