Just came across the Skywagon group. Awesome video of a British guy getting the ride of his life. I bet Vick can relate.

That's an excerpt from "James May At The Edge of Space" that BBC America produced. And technically speaking it's a U-2ST, not a TR-1. The pilot that took him up, Cabi, owns a stock Cub and is an avid tailwheel guy. That show and the accompanying production, "James May on the Moon", are well worth watching if you can track them down, really well done.

I figured you would know the pilot and what type of plane it was. I was just guessing. You have one of the coolest jobs on this earth, ah make that off this earth. Thanks for your service Vick.
