23m
We start this episode by checking out a tandem skydive business owned by an amazing and inspirational pilot who has literally risen from the ashes after surviving an explosive plane crash and six months in a coma. We then start the first of our five ‘In the Loop’ aerobatic segments hosted by Red Bull Air Race pilot Matt Hall, who will put you in the pilot’s seat for some extreme aerobatics.
In part two we meet Boeing’s test pilot who is putting the new Super Hornet through it’s paces and join the international crew of a P-3 Orion during an anti-submarine warfare patrol.
We then check out the Classic Flyers Museum where the attraction is not only the great collection of aircraft but also the local personalities which include world record holders and combat pilots.
