Stick and rudder artistry in a stock Stearman
This guy is a master of energy and altitude management.
Very few people can fully appreciate the level of flying he is demonstrating. There were moments in the video that I had to remember to breathe. Just WOW! &feature=channel |

He does put on a great show. The side slips were insane.

Re: Stick and rudder artistry in a stock Stearman
Holding that Falling Leaf all the way to the deck in a stock Stearman is one of the the most amazing things I have ever seen.

That was a great performance. I'll never forget some of the amazing flights that were given that day.

Re: Stick and rudder artistry in a stock Stearman
PP, thanks for posting the video
 I had the thrill of seeing John Mohr do his thing in "Yellow Peril" last year at Brunswick NAS, Maine. When I found the autograph booth, He and Patty Wagstaff were the only ones there and nobody seemed at all interested in them, so I had the opportunity to speak with both of them without a line of people behind me. A few years back, I had a ride in a stock Stearman, just like Yellow Peril, I had the controls for about 1/2 hour while cruising, what a delight, though I sure would not want to even think about landing one  .Pete

Re: Stick and rudder artistry in a stock Stearman
I doubt I'll ever get the chance to see him perform at a airshow because I live on the west coast.
I've had a little aerobatic time in a open cockpit Skybolt. It's unique experience having your head sticking out in the open air while flying, especially when inverted. I found myself constantly checking to be sure my harness was secure. |

John is a really nice guy too. Plus, he is a full scale helicopter pilot and flies the hell out of RC stuff both planes and helicopters.
