Landing my $%*&#$* Blackhorse Spitfire -- in one piece. It loves to land at a bit less than mach 1 & it stalls at mach 0.98. Quite thrilling!

I did my first rolling loop last weekend and to me that was the most exciting maneuver I have ever done. It looks bloody fantastic if you get it right.

Any time I fly maneuvers directly overhead, my heart rate increases a bit. Seems easier for me to get disoriented when overhead.

Xjet's concealment maneuver is a classic, but if you flub that one halfway through you always seem to end up in the backpedaling dance of discovery.
My favorite all time flight maneuver is the classic hammerhead stall performed with a WWI bipe. It never fails to cheer me up as I watch one being done.

Got to agree with ballgunner. No matter what else I have done, if the landing is not greased, it is all for naught.

I get the most excitement 3 seconds prior to successful completion of the crash manuever. It is the only manuever that I know rises to the level of excitement which requires the exclamation of an epithet, usually " OH, Excrement!

LMAO
- I feel the same way about sneaking parts into the house, I've been caught about 30% of the time[:@].
My favorite maneuver is coming down the shoot for the start line with 4 other race planes doing 170+mph and all pulling tight around pylon 1 all within about 20 SQ. feet of each other 15 feet off the ground[:-] [8D]

170+MPH?!?!?!? I would LOVE to see some flying like that! [X(] (As long as I'm not the pilot) ....maybe one day I will have the plane and the ability to fly that fast!
What kind of plane do you fly going that fast? I take it you do pylon racing...I've never seen that kind of event. I bet it would be a blast though.
