For The Love Of Port

For those of us that fly TAP airlines to Portugal...you may not want to watch this little video. Then again, it is quite cool to see.

Tell me that pilot is not one crazy and cool cat!

What a lunatic. My ex-father in-law was a stunt pilot who built his own aircraft for the competition's he flew in. I have had my guts turned inside out on a number of occasions when he played some, "let me scare the life out of Roy" games. Going up straight vertical so fast and high that his baby actually stalled out (intentionally) and then while stalled, he did a nose dive at earth that almost had me losing it. At 500' off the ground he started up and pulled out at a full 90 degree angle, parallel with the ground. Oh yeah, then there were the barrel rolls, flying upside down for extended periods and playing games well below the rim of the Grand Canyon (circa 1987) when you could still fly down inside it. Unforgetable fear!

When I used to work in the helicopter section at work, we used to see if we could get the ride-a-longs sick :twisted:

Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full....or not.

That reminds me of the fly over done before the Grand Prix in Dubai. The 747 is crazy low over the race track and then full throttle...
