Red Barons Flying Stunt Team


(fearless photojournalist & thrillseeker)

I had the opportunity in the Spring of 2005, to ride in a 1942 Red Baron stunt plane for a preview story about an upcoming air show at Langley Air Force base.

When we reached the proper altitude, the pilot asked me if I was ready.

"Give me your wost," I told him over the headsets. We flipped and spun and rolled and divebombed and just about anything you can do including the famous "hammerhead stall."

A truly unique and crazy experience. The best ride I ever had, feeling like a 10-year-old who just rode his first roller coaster.

Thanks to my pilot for a great flight...
