2014 Air Show in Cameron
« on: June 09, 2015, 09:25:19 PM »
This is an Air Show in Cameron, a small rural town in Missouri.  The pilots, bike and truck drivers and the photographers are all nuts !

This doesn't border on crazy, it IS crazy! Hold on to your desk, chair, whatever!  Best viewed full screen with a HD monitor. This one is waaaay more than just an airshow!!!    As GOOD as it gets!!!

Mad risk taking!  Even the opening gambit with the three planes doing doughnuts inside a smoke screen invites disaster.
The night segment with all the strobes is really effective- and very challenging for the pilot.

Never thought of a Beech 18 as an acrobatic aircraft.  :eek

It's sure to have been modified.
Another unlikely contender is Bob Hoover with his Aero Commander.  Flown engine-out through a perfect routine to a parking spot!

That's pretty good flying. As he said, "keep up the airspeed and it will fly".    :thumbsup
