An interesting experience at the Indianapolis Air Show at the Mt. Comfort airport today. If it was something that could be be flown, it was represented there. Tiny to humongous… sleek profile to wide-body… one prop to twin jets… Blackhawks to Huey’s. You name it… they had it.
I’ve seen some daredevil stunts over the years, but some of these pilots, in the small planes especially are certifiably crazy. Going into barrel rolls…and then flying upside down the length of the runway 20 ft off the ground at 150 mph? Or what got me even more was when they forced the plane into a stall while climbing staight up…which caused it to stop…and go into a free fall backwards…twisting, turning, tumbling, until finally gaining enough speed to get the plane to be a plane again instead of a rock and start flying again.
Ahh…the smell of jet fuel billowing off the tarmac mixed with the smoke wafting from the barbecue pit of the grilled turkey drumstick stand. What a combination for the senses. Plus another agent called me while I was there to tell me they were sending me an offer on a home I have listed. What a great way to spend an afternoon.
