Took my friend, Chris, up yesterday evening. Chris is my fourth passenger and the first one Iâve done aerobatics with. He is an experienced hang glider pilot and doesnât get nauseated easily. We did an axial roll, half Cuban, Immelman turn, loop, 1.5 turn spin, and three (!) snap rolls. Acro is fun but the flight back was beautiful against the backdrop of a setting sun.

Chris is holding up the camera and this exaggerates the "impact". Notice the Cessna encroaching on the runway when I'm on short final. I stayed to the right of the runway and approached a little fast (83mph) just in case and moved to the center after I KNEW he saw me. He said nothing on the radio by the way and the tower was closed.
