Here's a quick "bonus feature" to wrap up our Sun 'N Fun coverage... Aaron took some neat photos while he rode along during one of the showcase fly-by sessions and Mike Jones got some good shots of Jacquie B. and Elaine Larsen.
|
|
|
|
Elaine Larsen poses with her jet-powered dragster (and she's wearing her Piloti shoes, of course!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Elaine gets ready for a Skybolt ride with Barrett.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Elaine had a great time... in fact, she's the first person we can remember who didn't ever get to the point of having had "enough" of the hard acro during a Yellowbird ride despite Barrett "letting loose"! It must be from driving the dragster... going from 0 to 400 mph in 5 seconds must really build up one's tolerance to g forces and the need for adrenaline!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Airshow performer Jacquie B stops by the tent... she's another Piloti convert.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jacquie is a nice gal, and a heck of a pilot to boot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Coloreyes sunglasses crew were in the booth across from us. They stayed busy throughout the show.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A loud shoe convention? The Coloreyes crew likes the red Pilotis because their sunglasses make them look even brighter than they already are.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The forward visibility isn't great, but it's actually better than a lot of other taildraggers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Barrett likes to climb out steeply. The Yellowbird will just keep going up and up and up...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Turning in for a pass over the field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Looking north from the "back side" of the fly-by pattern. On the ground, the Yellowbird still sounds very impressive right now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A couple of models pose with Barrett's Pitts. Taking all these photos is a tough job, but someone's got to do it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fast cars and flying machines... really, what more could one want?
