This clip has got to be one of the most peaceful clips of flying I have ever seen.

I expessially like it when the camera zooms in and you can see Sean with the biggest smile on his face!

One day I will be in his shoes, and will be soaring with the birds... I just got to save up a quarter million dollars... I should have that within the next 10-15 years. Im lookin forward to it...

BTW does anyone know what kind of aircraft that is derived from? It is a custom job, but I doubt it was custom built from scratch

I am somwhere I don't know where I am!!!&&

My favorite airshow performer hands down!! My dad had the pleasure of hanging out with him and his crew every Muskegon Air Fare for several years. I had met him many many times but I was too young to remember it well enough to say anything constructive. Still, I DO remember putting the poles up Wink

and watching him fly straight down the runway at us Wink

kinda hard to forget that!!
If you want another good video of him check this out:

I should note that was like 15 years ago.

‎"At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation."- Igor Sikorsky
