Via Posthip Scott. This is the second time I have seen a Twin Mustang.
I saw Bob performing at the local air show with his Aero Commander once. I wasn't particularly impressed. I mean it didn't have nine zillion horsepower, or roar like a freight train, or break the sound barrier. On the other hand he was doing stuff you wouldn't expect out of a midget airliner. This preview prompted to me to look him up on the net, where I found this amusing little clip.

ReplyDeleteWell, I saw Bob performing with his Aero Commander once too. I WAS particularly impressed.
And I'm a CFI !
He turned the engine off at 3000ft, feathered the prop, flew his aerobatic routine, landed, taxied to the ramp, and parked in his assigned slot without using the brakes, all on a dead engine!
Now THAT is energy management, THAT is pure skill!
