How he doesn't get his license yanked after that first video...

Well, he is a world famous airshow performer.

He put on a decent show here this year. Even broke a rudder pedal during one of his routines. He was working the hell out of that plane too.

I still had training wheels on my bike when dad taught me "There are old pilots and bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots."

Aerobatics are great when done the way they should be done. When you fly like an idiot and endanger people watching, well, you're just an idiot.

There's nothing remotely cool about that. Any one of us could do it a couple times, if we didn't give a shit about life.

If he makes it to 60 I'll be impressed.

Art was out over the ocean, at altitude. Just sayin, doin it right doesn't protect you.

Very true but Art was famous for that low pass out of the cockpit standing on the wing. Many airshow performs criticized him for that stunt. We do not know what finally did him in. Rumor mill says it was practicing flat inverted spins

Art?

He was filming for Top Gun. Spin sequences, inverted. Hence the reason the movie is dedicated to him.

Not a rumor. In the early 80's inverted flat spins weren't the known quantity they are today. But who knows, he might have done everything right and maybe a camera came loose and jammed a control.

Skip definetly pushes the altitude limits. You can only tie, never beat them. Makes for great show.

Being directly over the people is sketchy. Kinda like that corsair driver. Whatever happened with that? Videos all got pulled.

He's no Sean D Tucker, that's for sure.

Irresponsible pilot jeesh. I don't care how "good" you are, you just don't put others at risk. His life wont be too long...

I've seen him quite a bit since he's a local to my region. Flies FedEx as a "real job" and airshow for fun. I really enjoy watching him fly but it seems that every time I see him he tries push everything just a little more and flies lower and lower. I saw him do this routine over the MS river and I bet he wasn't 3 feet above the water when doing this "knife edge" maneuver. It's fun to watch and even more fun to fly (I imagine). I wish him the best of luck and hope luck is always on his side but when flying that close to the edge at such low altitudes it only takes one small mechanical malfunction to turn a plane into a fire pit.
