Dale Igram, from the Central Indiana Soaring Society makes an aerobatic flight with a Blanik L-23. A final approach using high-speed parasitic drag is perfect finish for such a flight.

I got caught in the rain during a flight in Central Indiana. The plane flew very nicely with wet wings. As a reward, it received the best wash ever. Keep your speed up and your turns coordinated.

12 year old Marlin Tessarzyk shows excellent form maintaining formation behind the tow plane. He has to, because his father is flying the tow plane and watching his every move. Nice job Marlin!

Dick Hutchinson promises that one day I'll fly as well as he does, when I have accumulated as much experience as he has. So, I just need to fly 33 more years and I'll be there!

Ron Clarke wanted to show me that flying 5 miles without circling CAN result in no altitude lost. It's easy. All you have to do is fly as well as he does. We'll try :)

My old friend Don Reid invited me to fly as I was just a student. I learned how to make a passenger enjoy the flight instead of just "tolerate" it.
