I dont believe there is a pilot alive that has a comparable passion for flying to this guy. If Skip had been provided, early on, the sponsorship his talent deserved, we mayve never heard nearly so much of Sean Tucker. This is truly one of the nicest humans on the planet to boot. I dont know if hes ever had a bad day, but I suspect meeting him on his worst, youd still think you've just met your new best friend. Ive been fortunate enough to have met him personally many years ago when he flew in some Jackson Tn airshows that a company my wife worked for sponsored, even got to take a ride with him in Greg Byrds 2 hole Extra once. Admittedly I had to lie down for a bit afterwards to stop the world from spinning, but it is still a treasured memory. If youve never witnessed Skip pulling 12 & pushing 7 @ 18" off the deck in Prometheus at a live event, the show is absolutely incredible and worth a few hours of driving to experience it. Rock & Roll Skip!
So Cool Skip! This video allows the viewer to see the incredible skill, concentration, g-forces, narrow margins, etc involved in airshow flying at the highest level which you're the master. Keep up the great flying my friend.
Skip you are an amazing man, this stuff is incredible and you have a new number 1 fan right here. I'll definitely be looking more I to you guys, I'd love to see it you in person. God keep this man safe while he's in the air doing what he was meant to do, Amen.
Como me hubiera gustado haber podido volar un avión de estos!!! Con la Bücker y el T-6 hice lo que pude, pero no pude gozar de estos aparatos!!! Sniff, sniff...
I seriously don't know a word that I can use to describe how this video left me feeling! Watching a performance like this is one thing but watching from this point of view takes it to another level. You are amazing and your skills aren't too shabby either 😉😉! Thank you for the video. Stay safe!
Impressive to see the amount of g-force these guys endure on an average display, one can't help but to wonder how's the state of fatigue after such a day's work....most definitely a unique skill!
Awesome video and it reminds me of a late friend of mine Jim Leroy in the Bulldog at our little airport in Northeast Mississippi where you had to be there to believe it. Awesome video Skip. 👍🏻👍🏻
I just saw a video of a guy Paul Bennet from Australia in a Yellow Pitts he named the Wolf and I broke down Brother... I miss Jim. I grew up in Arkansas and grew up with Jim and Bulldog, Skip and Prometheus and Mike Rinker and the SU26 Pink Floyd.
Last time I talked with Skip he told me that he'd never change his style... Jim knew how to put on a show... I'm glad Skip Stewart vowed to keep Jim's flying alive. I know I'll never forget him either Bubba... God Bless 🖖🏻
A guy needs to be in pretty good physical condition to play this game 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥 Thank you for sharing this video. Very enjoyable. (I'm an old retired helicopter pilot)
On the ground looking up it looks like a Blast. I was very fortunate to have gone through an entire routine in my friends Pitts. Don't get me wrong on this that was fun but damn it took me hours to get my head and body back to normal. These guys and women are in shape and tough as nails. We pulled 8 G's for a short while coming out of a dive. It takes a certain type to fly this way. Dedicated, Personal expectations which of the highest, and a little crazy.
Wow you can really see the negative G’s in your leg muscles! The YAHHHh was great, I make the same noise every time I barely miss a set of wires or trees.
Excellent video. Watching this I was thinking that "energy management" has a whole new meaning when you've got over 300 ponies stuffed into the cowling of a Pitts...
Do you have a block heater on the engine to preheat or was the engine recently ran before you started? Seemed there was minimal run-up straight into a full power routine.
This is so cool! Skip, is there be possible for you to record a flight like this one day in a Pitts S-1 or a Christen Eagle 2? When you can come back to Brazil!!!! :D
Hey skip I hope to looking to see you at the great Texas Airshow in 2024 at San Antonio Texas I Saw your performance at Wings Over South Texas I’m going to Wings Over Houston I thought you were gonna perform there but found out your not I Loved your performance I hope to see you in San Antonio Texas
