Was a Dalton Extra. Video is from last years Tucson Shoot, one of the freestyle rounds. Look for the threads on this site on the Tucson Shoot out 2006.
Think it had a DA 200 in it, special 4 cylinder.

I think you are talking about Monday the 17th. Sunday the 16th is a public holiday hence Monday is also free.

Weather this weekend is bad, so I guess there will be no flying.

No mike most guys think this

But when you are confident enough to slow a plane down well you can land it almost anywhere. TMFC is great for jets !!!!!!!!!!
I used to fly my twin D/F powered Cessna Citation there and off the short side aswell no problem. We flew Mikes Bobcat there last weekend and it went great.
