Status: offline 		er, ah, "interesting" video - just a bit curious why the guy with the gear up opted to land belly up on the ASPHALT instead of the softer grass.......

Status: offline 		The stangs in this video were all very nicely done and the guy behind the camera did a great job filming. The landing?, curious,
maybe he was trying to get the gear down until the last minute? Oh well, woulda, coulda, shoulda.

Status: offline 		The red tail is the one with tail wheel problem on take off and retract problem on landing. The wipe-out on take off is caused by a stripped tail wheel linkage. On the final landing, one of the main gears fails to come down, so he opted for belly landing. The asphalt landing didn't hurt much; just a few scrapes on the bottom of the BCM muffler exhaust stacks. Those things are tough.

I was doing the filming. They didn't even know I plan to film it. I just showed up the airfield w/ the camcorder to have someone film my 3D flying. Then I saw 2 brothers flying Tuskagee style. So I thought I couldn't miss the golden opportunity.

The actual filming is like 15 minute long, and there are a lot of "bad" filming, such as the MIA factor, trembling factor, arm fatigue factor. Of course, all my booboos are promptly edited out. In fact, Curtis attempted the belly landing 3 times before finally touch-down at the spot he wanted. But hey, thanks for the complement.
