Here is a clip for WMU Instructors, future, past, and present, of what not to do.

Heard Fulmer yesterday on WMU company, while over BTL at FL210, he said they have are up to 18 Cirrus now and are getting 6 more over the next 2 weeks.

With all the glass in those Cirrus, WMU grads should be able to go directly to a RJ with 250 hours of SR-22 Glass Cockpit PIC time......

Anyway, I digress, I wonder who will be the one to create a Fun in a WMU SR-22 video. Something for the Rob & Tom show to go crazy over I bet.

I smell a Read & Initial...

At least they are not from Riddle...
 
Nothing wrong with the first part of the video over the grass strip. He's just getting two maneuvers down in one... soft field TO and chandelles!

Wish I had videos of the fun I had in the Mooneys when they had them. The low passes and zoom climbs are much more fun at 180kts.

Of course I didn't do that right over BTL in the middle of the day like two brilliant instructors did once. I picked more discrete places :)

Wow...that was some constructive off-topic input....like it matters...

Pretty cool video...wonder what the school would say about that one?
 
Send it to Grossman see what he says. ;)
 
It would be fun to watch Rob and Tom's response.

I hope they are not using that as a selling point. They jsut bought a RJ FTD to. They had called some former graduates to go test fly the ftd at the factory.

How much they charge for the Cirrus?

It's always reassuring to see instructors having total disregard for someone else's six-digit aircraft. If you want to do aerobatics then do it in aerobatic aircraft.

Both the Cirrus and 172 are $120/hr now. Double what I paid as a student 7 years ago... wish my pay would make that kind of jump to match.
