... and another thing i thought about. once you learn enough acro to solo and actually have fun with it, how do you even do it? haha... its not like you can just go out and rent an aerobatic plane? its almost like even then you have to BUY one.
I don't think you can go wrong flying with John. His experience and abilitiy is without question in the aerobatic community. These few hours you will spend flying him will be with you longer then most others. You dont have to spend $10k but surely 5 to 10 hours of experience with someone who has judged/coached the leading aerobatic teams and competitions would be a worthy life experience for a pilot.
oh and yes you may like me end up waiting a few years and buying a Pitts yourself...... how can THAT be bad?!
