I saw Leo at Oshkosh in 1988 or 89... all I can say is WOW!!! He did a whole mixed up sequence of rolls... pt rolls both ways on take off!!! I think I saw Clint McHenry also... and though I could see more precision in his flight, it lacked the Jaw-Drop factor that Leo had....

Stay off Motorcycles!!!

Matt, I finally was able to download the video on my current POS ISP. Wow man that is a great show. From what I have seen you just dont see that much high energy precision in airshow sequences anymore. It looked like you flew more snaps than the unlimited sequence probably had that year. Is there a technique you use for sustained neg G's or are you just conditioned to deal with it??

I really like my spiffy red pants and shirt! That was about 16 years and 25 pounds ago! Wow...I did a lot of pushing back then....I was sick... or maybe that explains why I'm still dizzy. I think I was better back then....or was it stupid? Not sure..but at least I'm still alive!
And that snappy music...very cool.
Ehuuu....Inverted ribbon cut.....taxing with the tail in the air.....wow..... I wasnt that good.... just lucky!
Matt, should we talk about your recent foamy launch at the armory? That was pretty exciting!

The launch of the foamy was an amazing thing! How you eneded up leaving with both eyes I'll never know! Franks lightning fast reactions are almost as amazing as my flying 'skills'.

The photo of the Lazer with the white spinner is after I owned it. Hilton Tallman put an MT, constant speed prop on the plane when he owned it. I never had the money to do it, plus it makes that airplane (not all Lazers, Lasers) nose heavy.
