For you jet guys...
« on: March 15, 2011, 12:20:53 AM »
The old man just forwarded this to me...it may be a repost and some of you may have seen this before, but it's pretty ridiculous...

The video starts slow - the show starts at :45

Brian - I expect to see you pull out these maneuvers in a few weeks  ;D

yea, that's really cool!  If you can find video from the cockpit, it's even more interesting.  The duty of the passenger is to use hand signals to help the pilot know which way to turn.  Everything is going so fast the only thing that the co-pilot can do is point which way he wants the driver to go.

Guess the thing that blows me away most about those boats is they average 65 or 70mph through the course. Correct me if I'm wrong. Dunno bout you but to me that's incredible.

Wish I had hp & throttle response like that.
