Re: US Aerobatic Team 1986
Great to see that selection and in terms of competition aerobatics it's interesting to see that 33 years later Pitts and Extras still dominate the scene (albeit with 270-330HP engines these days).
Bumped in to Kermit Weeks at his Oshkosh Hangar back in '97, nice chap and showed us around his airframes.
