Re: Aerobatics

Rob,
Great stuff.
Harold was the FBO at Moraine Airpark and the Mayor of Moraine Ohio for many years. The was always an airshow at Moraine on the Sunday closest to Independence Day. The highlight of the show was Harold doing amazing routines in his Waco. I had never seen his Tri-motor routine.

Thanks for posting.

Best Regards,
Mark Julicher
