I enjoyed seeing all the stuff flying around. They were in the calyspo and lots of stuff came onto the canopy.

:shock: "Holy cow I don't think I have my lap belt on" lol :lol: :D

yeah i thought it was hilarious that the guy fell into the canopy without his lap belt on.....and i thought it was funny when the solo pilot shrugged into the camera when it looked like a piece of gum was rolling around on top of the canopy.....just priceless....

This has got to be a purposeful bloopers video. I find it incredibly hard to believe that they would leave notebooks etc...just floating around in the cockpit.

Almost as amazing that that blur song (playing on the video) is probably the only one the average american could name.
With a name like Smucker's, it has to be good.®

Someone told me or I read somewhere that the velcro straps that hold the papers on the kneeboards is not too great.

Like during the Belly-to-Belly Manuever, Lots of things fell onto the canopy,. If he rolled back up would all his stuff come down to him? What if something went behind the seat or something like that.

lieutfunaki, yeah tell me about it....i cant even imagine all the different scenarios that could play out and bad things that could go wrong during tight manuvers that could some how distract or block the sight of a pilot...


Airshow fan, well i would imagine that everything would come back down...and if it fell back behind the seat i hope it wasnt anything to important....because i is probably going to be staying there for a while... :lol: :twisted:
