New Flight Experiance
I just had a new flight experiance in a jet fighter. I flew my 337H to Lock Haven, Pa. with 2 friends, to go up in a Russian L-39 jet fighter. After our flight briefing, the first up was the 16 year old young man I took with us. After many 4G manuvers like inside loop, barrel rolls & snap rolls, he did a rolling dive from 8,000 feet to a pretend target on ground with a 6 G pull out. The 16 year old blacked out. He started the same thing with the ski diver who went up next. He made it through 2 manuvers before using the barf bag, so they quite. My turn next. We started the same barrel rolls, than he asked if I would like to do the flying. I did a pitch up to 30 degree than two snap rolls to the left. Than the same thing to the right. Than a inside loop. Followed by a double barrel roll, all pulling 4 G's. We spotted a friend of the pilot flying a 172 Cessna leaving the airfield. He called him asking if we can do a mock attack, which he agreed to. We attacked and did a victory roll after attack, below and in front of 172. We did a dive from 8000 feet to a ground target with a 5.8G pull up. That all made this 62 year old man fell young again. Thats what I call one hell of a good day to be alive. Dale Campbell
