Actually, it was both, because I then dropped right back below the rim on the other side. Scared the crap out of PhotoPilot!

Hey. I was a 70 hour pilot WAYYYY back then (less than a year ago) and it was the first time I'd been in a plane with you. Besides, if I remember right, you were pretty wide-eyed, too:

Me: "Uh . . . that looks like a pretty tight turn up there."
JD: "Nah. We'll make it."
Me: "Holy S*#T!"
JD: "Whoops. Hang on . . ."

(A few seconds of dead silence)

Me: "Jesus."
JD: "Nope. Chandelle."

Six months and 400 hours later, we flew a couple of Tomahawks to PTV about a wingspan apart with nary a bobble. What a little time and good instruction can do . . .

You can roll a Seminole? By golly, I've never heard of such a thing, at either ATP or Skymates. Pure madness I tells ya!

*ahem*

Sooner, good job. All the hard work and PITA has paid off!

You sure won't find me inverted in a Seminole. An Extra, perhaps . . . but not a Seminole!

Of course not! No approved harness, no 'chute, aircraft not rated for aerobatics; and that's just the short list of things that are illegal abot rolling one of those things!!
