After a
few minutes of formation flying we had a chance to experience a little
bit of what the Red Barons do in their show. Here you can see a
pair of photographs from within a formation loop. After the loop
we broke formation and performed a roll and hammerhead stall. I
wanted to try some more aerobatics, but I think Travis was a little
air-sick, so we formed up with the other aircraft and flew back to
Quonset Point... |
