I was at the Reno air races in 1985 and watched in pure amazement I’ve been flying the RC version of his chipmunk for the last 30 years it’s a fantastic flying airplane can slow down but at the same time perform all aerobatic maneuvers it’s too bad he passed away so young he was a fantastic pilot and showman
If my math is correct, this was just a few days before his fatal crash during the filming of Top Gun. The '85 races were September 12-15, and Art crashed on September 16.
It’s funny that it looks so smooth and the music is so free and easy, in the meantime his pumpkin is being bounced around the cockpit while he slams through heavy positive and negative G’s. He’s my all-time favorite.
I was fortunate that I got see Duane Cole, Steve Wittman, Bob Hoover, Paul Poberezney, and the Red Devils (later known as the Christensen Eagles) in the 70s and 80s. I never saw Art fly in person, and am truly sorry that I missed out. I do remember an episode of ABC’s The Wide World of Sports that had a segment on him and his aerobatic performance.
i saw all them guys along with with Art and Harold Krier...I was a young kid. My dad and I went to all the airshows withing a 200 mile radius in south texas...Wasnt it Tom Poperezny in the Red Devils? Tom, Gene Soucy and Charlie Hillard
Art. Scroll flew the scenes in ”The Great Waldo Pepper”, where ”Ezra Stiles” tried to make an outside loop. With a rebuilt Chipmunk, modified to resemble some 20’s aircraft.
And he died during the filming of Top Gun I believe it was while trying to generate the spin footage for Gooses death, my all time favourite pilot along side Hoover
@@mikeb2611- Glad to be of service. I was shocked to hear that he literally disappeared during the production of 'Top Gun', as well. I first found out about it when I was reading some behind-the-scenes trivia about 'Top Gun' when I was in the 5th grade in mid-2000. I was born in early-1989 & didn't see 'Top Gun' until sometime in the late-1990's.
Does anyone else feel like they're going to pee themselves when Art would step halfway out of the cockpit on a low pass? And he was a master flight instructor. Imagine him telling students to do as he says not as he does. Stay in the damn seat lol.
He actually had two Super Chipmunks, this one with the retracts, N13Y, the one seen in this video, and N1114V which I think may have been a 2 seater variant of the Chipmunk. It has a fixed landing gear, and a different paint scheme. The top and tail are the same, but the underside of the wing has stars in the blue. Many scale RC planes are modeled after the N13Y but mistakenly use the N1114V tail numbers, mainly because they don't use retracts, however, the rudder between the two planes is completely different. You can see the differences in this video, ruclips.net/video/B06YtngsplE/видео.html
That is not completly correct. Art Scholl had 3 super chipmunks. The first was the N13A, 2 seater, fixed landing, and the original Chipmunk engine. The second was the N13Y, retracts, singel Seater. The 3. Chipmunk was Skip Volk's Machine (N1114). Art Scholl took over this Plane after Skip Volk's death. Then he repainted the plane in his own collor scheme (there were intermediate versions where not everything was repainted)
So much more graceful & enjoyable then the modern-day carbon fiber herky jerky airshow routines out there.

He was THE GOAT ....

He was the only stunt pilot in the world at that time licensed to take up a passenger.

Too bad Art Scholl died during the making of 'Top Gun' & that neither his plane, or, his body were ever recovered.
i just found that out tonight Aug 29 2022....sad

@@tthomaselli2 i went and saw it at the theater with a date. I was 21....I used to see Art Scholl and all the greats in the 70s and 80s with my dad

I have one of the rc airplanes and I found this vid cause I was looking at it and wondered how well it flew.. mines tail number is n13y.
btw i would rather hear the engine than the cheesy music but cant be picly i guess
