Terry,
As a bit of a prequel here is an article from the Tulsa World newspaper
that is funnier now than it was then.
He had flown his YAK 52 to a show where one of his friends had a two
place 52.

Another vid of him and his wife in their night time air show.

There are a number of vids on Youtube of his Widecat airshow appearances.
Over the years he has offered me rides but I can get the wobblies in a car.

Terry,
As a bit of a prequel here is an article from the Tulsa World newspaper
that is funnier now than it was then.
He had flown his YAK 52 to a show where one of his friends had a two
place 52.

Not trying to one-up, but want to share an incredible experience if anyone gets
to Sandy Eggo.
With this ride we went about 5 mi out from San Diego and did a ton of combat man
euvers. If you have some stick-time
he will do one, then let you do one. That is "Tail Spin" giving me my ground sch
ool. Basically; If he says "Bail Bail Bail"
you probably won't hear the last one because he will be gone. When you jump, aim
for the wing, that way the tail won't
hit you as it goes by. Hmmm. Always good to know. They have a Stearman also, b
ut I haven't tried that yet.
Fun times.
Terry

I think there are other youtubes of his performances.
At one time he was in the top 5 aerobatic pilots in the world. At that
time he had a YAK and his practice Aero Box was above the farm. While
he was practicing I would just stop the tractor and watch.
He and his wife also have a Stearman. He flies and she wing walks in
their airshows.
He also has one of the few WWII Wildcats still fling.
Enjoy,
jerry knotts
