Oof... poor girl just ain't feeling well there, is she?

Here's one:

What a shame, you can sure write that girl off from ever flying GA again! That was pure uncalled for torture! Not funny in my opinion!

I agree. It may have seemed hilarious at the time, but even if she never wanted to fly an airplane, we don't really need to be making enemies.

Yup... That kid needs his ass kicked.

Both of these clips are examples of why no plane I own will ever be on leaseback to a flying club. Not that some owners aren't above that kind of stupidity in their own planes. I just don't want them flying mine.

How did a immature non thinking idiot get a private ticket. Shouldn't a CFI who spends hours with a student recognize his attitude and not recommend for his check ride. Just a thought about these new young CFI's and the FAA rules.

I'm betting our hotstuff pilot in the film IS a CFI...

On the flipside though... My kids and dogs were born and raised in the back and front seats of our various work and family airplanes. My youngest daughter and her cousin used to call it "Whoop-Dee-Doos," and on any trip those two would drive me nuts wanting whoop-dee-doos, and for me to float them around with zero G.

The C180 I had at the time with O-470R would shut off with zero G, so the sequence was: Nose over to build up speed, pull up to weigh 'em down in the seat, push hard to float 'em, then the engine would die and you could feel the prop lagging behind, let up and level out. Engine would come back to life, then... Do it all over again. For hours sometimes.

At least we agree on something, 7853H. If that was my daughter, and I found out some asshole was flying like that even after she had her face stuffed in a bag, I'd wring his neck like a wet rag. Ahh...I'd do it even if it wasn't my daughter.

Just a jerk showing how little he knows about aviation (contrary to what he probably told the girls)

A true aviator will make passengers as comfortable as possible. In fact a CFI I have flown with quite a bit is very serious about coordinated flight and being aware of the movements of the tail as any uncoordinated manuever is amplified to the passengers.

One of the best I can recall, was Bob Hoover in his Shrike Commander. (I'm certain many of you have seen his show) He would do an entire aerobatic routine (including the dead stick stuff) with a glass of wine sitting on the table in the cabin. He is a master of energy management and coordinated flight.

Now that is an aviator !!!

I love the video from the interview several years back that shows him pouring the tea backhanded during the maneuvers.

I agree wholeheartedly on the guy with the two girls but honestly I couldn't stop laughing at the dog one. Immagine what the dog must be thinking, the look on his face is priceless...

He's probably thinking,, Here we go.... another stupid human trick!

I want to sincerely thank the folks on this list for this collection of enlightened and intelligent comments on this really dumb video.

Congrats, folks, and thanks!! You've made my day.

I think the only reason my 3 and 5 year old kids ride with in the plane is so we can do "roller coasters". I have to fight with them to leave the controls alone long enough to get some altitude after takeoff.

I agree with the concept of keeping the passenger as comfortable as possible. I spent a lot of time as a small child in a 140 cessna, it seemed like I was always wishing I was back on the ground--I can still see the bottom of that stupid wing!

That was a nasty video, that guy needs a but kicking!!

Was it Tex Ivarson who flew the 707 prototype over the boat races, and flew a barrel roll?
I'm not sure I remember it perfectly (I know... google is my friend), but I understand some of the folks in the back of the plane had coffee and other beverages, none of which spilled when he did the roll.

Well I'm glad that I can agree with the majority of you guys. I was wondering if I was the only one that thought that guy was a moron. Gump you are 100% right that they should have their asses kicked. There's no excuse to do that to anyone, or any animal. When I was 18 my sister's husband gave me a ride in a 150 and scared the crap out of me and turned me off on aviation. It wasn't until 1989 that a friend gave me a ride in a Beaver on floats on Lake Powell that changed my life and got me interested in aviation. I'm so pissed that I missed all those years that I could have been flying.

My daughter is four. She has spent most of her life in the airplane. My first thought was the pilot needed his @$$ kicked. That was totally uncalled for. She was already getting sick so he puts his head further up his @$$ and does a stupid stunt like that. As soon as she was getting sick his first thought should have to land ASAP and let her out. I am sure this was not a x-country flight he probably could have landed a short period of time. It’s one thing to go up and have a little fun with a passenger who want to do it with you, I am sure that little girl was not having any fun.

I do however agree with GumpAir on the “Whooo-Dee-Doos.” But I believe that involves 0 Gs not – Gs. My daughter absolutely loves them. My daughter is the same way, if she is ridding up front, she wants to get to the controls as soon as we lift off.

For a low time pilot, that would be me, I am very aware of the comfort level of a new passenger or a first time flyer. I have done several charter flights in a 414 with my instructor. I don’t get to fly when there are passengers on board but you can learn a lot sitting in the right seat. He is very aware of his passengers and how his actions as the pilot will affect them. Not just for the money part of it but the comfort and enjoyment of the flight. I guess I think of that every time I have a passenger in my plane.

With that youngest kid of mine and my goofy nephew, it was negative G's. The higher and longer I floated them the more they liked it. An entire trip would be non-stop up and down, with hysterical laughter coming out of the back seat. Of course same daughter is now 30 years old, and spent 8 years USMC with two Iraq tours. Maybe I rattled her brain a bit too much.

Hoser the Wonder Dog was a different story. He rode with me for 17 years and one week, about 10,000 hours right seat time we calculated a while back, and other than a jostle here and there on a crappy day, that mutt never had a weightless moment in his life.

Even near the end when I had to lift him in and out of the airplane, that dog wanted to fly next to me, and it would take dynamite to make him give up his seat to someone else. Someday I'll write down his jumpseat out of Kotzebue in the DC-6 story. Poor FO was standing there, with a growling dog in his seat, and the captain telling the guy that Hoser was a better pilot with lots more time, so let him stay there for the flight...

Velo,

Tex Johnston was the guy. There were no passengers aboard the aircraft at the time. The show was for the folks attending the boat races on Lake Washington. There's no doubt he did it about right--in fact, he did it twice.

There's also no doubt that he almost got fired over it, and probably should have been. If it hadn't worked out quite as well, OR if sales of the airplane hadn't taken off, he probably would have been.
