Awesome thanks for posting that! I have something to look forward to.  Definitely going for the Seaplane and the Aerobatics. Can you take the aerobatics course with another flight course like 323? |

When you're flying in aerobatics, does the instructor let you do pretty much anything you want in the plane, or is there structure to the course? Since last year I've been thinking of doing the seaplane course just for fun. We have a cabin on a lake in Montana and I've always thought it would be neat to fly in there and just tie up at the dock.

I think you practice specific maneuvers like Hammerheads, loops, etc...could be wrong though... How do those courses work really..do you still have stage checks to do and ground class? |

youll learn how to fly all the maneuvers, and how to make them better, cleaner, better looking, etc. BUT yes its also a killer fun time! in this video clip me and my instructor just took turns flying a freeform sequence of maneuvers...its not just random movements though... its all about energy management!!  there is no "stage check" however, and the ground course is sat/unsat only.

Two questions: 1) What kind of plane were you flying? 2) Was the music done by Drop Kick Murphys?
