A VERY Exciting Ride…………

You pull 3 to 4 g’s to get the energy needed on the top to make it round if not you look like the 109 in France without that energy. You can do it will less g’s, but it won’t be as round. Glad you enjoyed your ride, there is nothing like a bit of acrow to get the heart started 😮

Cheers,

be intrested to know how he did a loop in a T6 at only 1.5 – 2g, especialy if it was done without losing height.

Sure did a loop, I seem to recall not much height was lost.

I thought it was more like 3 to 4g, what do you think?

Also did lazy 8’s, a cuban thingy, a combat break type turn and dive, and a hard 90 deg turn across the airfield just before landing. (sorry if I’ve explained incorrectly)

Who said he did a loop? Maybe they did some other aerobatics.

Not a bad photo at all! I think you got your ride just in time, given recent troubling events in the AT-6/Harvard world.

I made it quite clear to the pilot that I was fully aware of the recent Florida crash along with current information regarding that sad event.

He told me that this aircraft had been examined for structural fatigue since that event, and was clear of any defects.

Despite the aerobatics, he suggested that we were only pulling 1.5 to 2g maximum on my flight.

He also suggested that the Florida aircraft was subjected to much higher stresses. Make of that what you will, but it will be interesting to read the final FAA report on the crash.
