Al forwarded me this video that is a must see of a Yak 9 pulling out to low from a loop. He just makes it then rolls the aircraft like nothing happened. Scary and awesome footage.

I'm surprised he was cool enough to do the roll so soon after the shake up. He was very lucky on that time.

Was there a ditch along the flight path of the Yak-9? Kind of looked like the video of the final flight of Harry Tope, R I P.

Glad to see you escaped the clutches of those rabid West Coast Hippies, Rob. I know you probably missed it, but Bill Greene did a piece on Dan McQue last night on the news. They had some good inflight footage both inside and out of his L-39.
