Nascar vs. Wings
« on: January 24, 2010, 01:09:26 PM »
I stumbled upon this and thought I'd share.
Maybe you have to be a pilot to fully appreciate the skill involved here.  But, it still amazes me to watch.
I like about a minute in where the people in the stands get a full face view of the spinning prop in your grill....

I have never viewed flying like that in my life. What he is doing should be impossible in a fixed wing. I stopped and watched some crop dusters in California, but this is off the hook.
