That's pretty cool....took me a while to realize that the "hijacking" was a planned performance, and not a crazy drunk very skilled stunt pilot.

It WAS planned, right??

Yes, I have seen this routine at several airshows and it is always a hoot.

That was fantastic to watch....really funny, right down to the dirty stained drunk-shirt.

And what a stunt pilot!!!!! I've never seen a performance like this before, like I say, had me going for longer than I'd care to openly admit.....

Naaaahh......

thats me every flight. :lol:

An earlier practitioner of the "hijacked cub" routine was Richard Schram, AKA "The Flying Professor." He was a regular opening act for the Blue Angels in the sixties. He was killed flying the routine; see http://www.blueangels.org/NANews/PPPMAST/Aug69/Aug69.htm. I heard a rumor (I was on active duty with the Navy at the time) that his control stick had somehow become disconnected from its socket. Don't know if this is true, of course.
