I loved watching his "Energy Management" routine in the Shrike. Dead stick aerobatics followed by landing and taxi up to the announcer stand without using power or brakes.



That video blows my mind every time I watch it and should be required watching for all parachutists - particularly speed-flyers.

Also saw him do his Shrike show at the Cleveland Air Show back in the day.

A friend put this up on FB. No mention of someone fueling his naturally aspirated plane with jet-A. Pretty sure he invented the fuel filler neck which prevents that from happening. No telling how many lives were saved by that.
Please don't dent the planet.
