It HAD TO have been an experience of a lifetime to experience aerobatics with a USAF Thunderbirds commander as your teacher. Wow! I never met Richard and I’m sure I speak for many aviators when I say I miss him, what a loss to aviation. Thank you for your legacy, Richard!
The biggest thing I took from aerobatics is a full understanding that the plane can stall in any position. It’s something I think all pilots should experience at least once. Love aerobatics and I’ve found this series awesome!
And any airspeed. Talking about 'stall speed' is super misleading, and the arguments I've had about it demonstrate that most non-aerobatic pilots have huge misunderstandings of the stall.
@@aaronhammond7297 yes 100%, and part of that reason is the faa training push to recover long before any stall breaks in ppl training. Doing aerobatics you will find yourself stalling any position any airspeed frequently… lol
Excellent series. I appreciate the amount time spent on pre- and post-flight discussion, very realistic. I once had an aerobatic instructor demonstrate an inverted flat spin in an Extra. I’ve never felt so disoriented and helpless in an aircraft.
It would be nice if all flight schools had a aerobatic maneuvers or spin course. All primary trainers should be aerobatic category aircraft instead of a normal category.

I really found myself enjoying every aspect of those grateful flying maneuvers & the attitudes of both of you guys working together!👍🏾...

As Juan Browne would say: An aircraft can stall at any attitude, any airspeed but only *one* critical Angle of Attack!

Thank you for doing this series, I love it.
Short and Sweet. Thank you fellas!
Fantastic instructor!! 👌🏼
More Accident Case Studies, please.
We have one coming out this month! Stay tuned!
@@richardmcspadden9189 I heard one was just uploaded, don't see it yet.
@@Hedgeflexlfz yes. It’s we give a sneak peek to donors that make the videos possible. Full release next Friday.

2:50 Guys, remember... you don't ever want to yank it.

Great instructor. Who is this? Would love to get a lesson.
ASI's very own Richard McSpadden!
Dick McSpadden, former Thunderbird 1, currently head of AOPA ASI.
how much to get some aerobatic flying on extra ?thx
Is "unloading" neutral pitch? Or is it pushing forward a bit?
Pushing forward to less than 1G. Get light in the seat.
11:30 anyone else notice the loose nut?
that is a good way to lose an eye, my friend
As a non-pilot, I just learned where the phrase "slow your roll" came from. 😉
