You lucky dog!!! What a pleasure. I always have admired Ms. Wagstaff's piloting ability, but never knew how humble and gracious she is. It seems the better the pilot, the less macho. Her exceptional control on those rolls was the smoothest I have ever seen. Thanks so much for posting this.
I met her tonight at a museum event with the blue angels.She invited me to come fly with her at St.Augustine.She is honestly a great woman!Inspires us youth to pursue aviation.
“Don’t go easy on him” and then totally going easy on him seeing what the passenger is able to take, is a real good airmanship. I’ve seen plenty of pilots going hard on their friends just to impress, and guess what, they never fly aerobatics again as they had a horrible experience.
OMG .. you Lucky ducky...i was following patty back in the early 90 s when i was in training and got my private license ..much like you after about 250 hrs i began IFR training as well ..love the videos keep up the good work young man..
I soloed on Runway 4 on Saint Simons Island at Malcolm McKinnon Airport back in 1978. Frank Lea was my flight instructor from L&M Aviation. It was one of the highlights of my life. Thanks for all the fantastic videos Jason! Keep up the great service you're providing...
I never got to fly with her.. But I did get to meet her at sun n fun 1992.. She is a wonderful person and one of the greats! ill never forget that show she gave us that day in the air..
Awesome! I remember watching Patty Wagstaff perform in her Extra every year as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s at the annual airshows at NAS Moffett Field in California before the base closed.
Fantastic Josh, I have had her book 'Fire and Air' since I was 16. Massive inspiration to me and everything I do in an aeroplane. What an honour to fly with her her. Keep up the good work! cheers.
Awesome Josh, an experience of a life time!!!! Thanks for sharing. Guess the guys are going to have to work on getting you a ride with the Blue Angels next *evil grin*
I honestly don't know if I'm more jealous of this or of flightchops getting a ride with Julie Clark. Both icons, amazing pilots, and some of my favourite memories as a kid
getting hours from patty wagstaff in your log book… how cool is that! i had logged some in a pitts, but not instruction from the famous patty wagstaff.
What an amazing opportunity, and welcome to my corner of the world! I cannot believe I didn't know you were going to be there, probably walked right by your plane, which I would have recognized. My family was there all day Saturday as AOPA volunteers, I saw one guy with a ShareAviation tee and thought it was just somebody who happened to have one of your tees. Lol. Glad you got to have this experience. Love your videos, keep it up.
Glad i'm not the only one that pouts, to feel the microphone on my lips. Must be a habit most pilots have? Great video, I would love to experience Aerobatic flying!
Quite an Honor there young man! How awesome! I just picked up an RC Graupner 300 Extra Electeic in pristine condition, I am excited to fly it. Just got back into flying RC last summer and am thinking of taking a few lessons just to get the feel of flying a real plane. Being a Cancer Survivor,Disabled/ Retired I seem to have time on my hands. I wouldnt be able to do anything you just did, but thanks for bringing your camara on along for the ride,It was great video. Hope you get to pilot the big ones soon.
Wonderful! The forward view and sounds from inside the cockpit remind me of my aerobatic passenger flight in an Extra 300 which can be seen on my UA-cam channel. It was a fantastic experience.
Love the video Josh....that is a once in a lifetime opportunity...I remember seeing Patty at an airshow here in Peoria Il. at an airshow held at KPIA. I could not help but notice the bird dung on the outside of the canopy of her plane...should you wipe it off for her as a thanks? Lol!! Keep up the good work Josh.
Ah hell! Holy everything. WAGSTAFF KILLS! Sainted. That was actually better than my Uncle's slip into a tiny airport which corrupted my life into aviation...
For some reason I can't reply directly, so this goes out to Lucas Harper, who asked who Patty Wagstaff is. Patty Wagstaff is: *First woman to win the US National Aerobatic Championship (1991) *1993 International Aerobatic Club Champion *Top medal winner for the US Aerobatic team, 1985-1996 *Six-time Betty Skelton "First Lady of Aerobatics" award winner (1988-1994) *Top scoring US pilot at the 1996 World Aerobatics Championsip *1997 inductee, Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame *1997 inductee, International Women's Aviation Hall of Fame *2004 inductee, National Aviation Hall of Fame *2006 inductee, International Council of Airshows Foundation Hall of Fame *winner of numerous other awards for aviation and Aerobatic achievment And from what a couple of my Shareaviation.com friends tell me, an all-around pretty awesome person.
Also just took my IFR written today, good to here you're starting your training as well. I personally think it was easier than PPL, but I know most people would disagree with me.
Very awesome! Did y'all get over to Southern Soul for some BBQ? I live in Savannah and we look for every excuse to fly down to SSI for the BBQ. Just can't beat it.
Josh, I was disappointed! Was looking for more maneuvers. I had my ride in an Extra 300LT also - from Rockledge airport, Fl. (21FA). Like you, I had an offer "for a ride" right after landing my little Experimental at the field. My pilot (a friend of mine) was an experienced National Competitor and gave me a great 40 minute ride. Best maneuver we did was a Vertical Climb - doing a 4 point roll - running out of energy at the top - descended in an Inverted Flat Spin! Yes, it was fun. Hard to take "still pictures" in that maneuver! Pulled 6.5 G's and I, at 73 years of age, did not lose consciousness - how about that! And, like you, never got sick. We slipped hard on Final too - so the pilot could see the runway - very narrow @ 45 feet. Is 2,000 feet long. Great flight, eh! The 300LT is like a tank - + _ 10G's Thanks for posting. N-6395T
no kidding? my dad's buddy jim has a hangar at rockledge and another hangar in merritt island (COI). I've flown in and out of rockledge for years! whose extra did you fly?
I wasn't the pilot - his name is Travis Gier. I had my little Experimental Amateur Built Plane at Rockledge, off and on, for 13 years. Tied down at Merritt Island (COI) for a year and half or better. LOTS of student pilots at COI! Used to be from India - now, mainly South America, I think. They always came "out of nowhere! :) No idea of what they were saying on the Radio!. :) Was fun. One of the instructor cadre, there at MI, training these kids was a retired USAF Pilot. He said he had flow everything in the inventory except the SR -71 and one other high performance plane. (can't remember which one) First name is Ken, you might know him. I'm including a link to a plane that Travis and his Dad (Rod) built - you may have seen it. (WWI vintage) He sold it to a lady who gave it to her husband for his birthday. Travis said he delivered it to COI and watched the guy fly it. Travis said he thought the guy would crash, but recovered. Beautiful little Red Plane. www.airdromeaeroplanes.com/dr-1flightreport-gier.html
Man, this video just shows how good of a pilot she is. It's the little things that show her precision. That was special.

What an amazing experience with such an incredible aerobatics superstar. Lucky young man.
I think she;s a legend ,her Extra and her in person appears in Microsoft Flight Simulator X.You had a privilege to fly along with her.
getting hours from patty wagstaff in your log book… how cool is that! i had logged some in a pitts, but not instruction from the famous patty wagstaff.
Great video! The three people who disliked this video need to stop watching Aviation videos.
That slip to landing was insane. So awesome.

Ive done it a few times and since you're just the rio, you're probably going to get sick. I needed a bag........
this makes me want to get a license man. So amazing. Just watching this, I can almost feel the freedom.
NICE!!! Love your freaking out altimeter josh ;)
The opportunity of a lifetime! Congratulations!
She is sooooo nice!!! Good for you. That's a dream flight right there.
Congrats bud.
“Do not take it easy on him.”
Patty “Fun!”
Fantastic experience Josh! Def one of a lifetime. Love your channel and passion for aviation. Keep the videos coming. :D
Thanks for the ride, Patty is awesome isn't she?
Very cool, I remember watching her tumble planes years ago at a local air show, somewhere I have a poster she signed.
Quite an Honor there young man! How awesome! I just picked up an RC Graupner 300 Extra Electeic in pristine condition, I am excited to fly it.

What a view of that hammerhead. Soooooo freakin' cool.

Very cool flight
Flight of a lifetime! nice job
Patty Wagstaff? Are you kidding me? Awesome. Yes I realize I'm late to comment.
Josh, admit it. When you say you have vertigo it really means your stomach has moved up to your Adam's apple. lol Great vid.
You lucky dog, you! Albeit I probably couldn't handle any aerobatics. I like to take it easy :)
Holy cow, never been to SSI airport, but it's a favorite stop of ours on the way to Orlando in a car!
All that comes to mind is: ATTA BOY!
That is kickass. Thanks for the cool video.
Great vid Josh!
Very cool!!
Cool experience, Josh! Patty Wagstaff #aerobatics .
#Aviation
Great video!!!!!!!! :-)
Really nice, I could feel like I was there!
So cool!
Wish i could have been there to see this. I'm only 100 miles North West of St. Simons in Vidalia, Georgia.
Love the video Josh....that is a once in a lifetime opportunity...I remember seeing Patty at an airshow here in Peoria Il. at an airshow held at KPIA. I could not help but notice the bird dung on the outside of the canopy of her plane...should you wipe it off for her as a thanks? Lol!! Keep up the good work Josh.
Like getting invited to play basketball with Michael Jordan. Patty is the best!
What? Seriously? This is so cool!
I fly into KSSI or at least over it quite often. I do my training down at KCRG. Cool to see you fly to my side of the country.
Wow. She is a hell of a pilot isn't she !
Man! Lucky guy!
Ahh, so lucky! I would love to fly with her
Jealous man! Patty is the god of acra!
Ah hell! Holy everything. WAGSTAFF KILLS! Sainted. That was actually better than my Uncle's slip into a tiny airport which corrupted my life into aviation...
Chance of a lifetime
This looked like a lot of fun, great video! =)
As a Virginian who lives 15 minutes from North Carolina Its so funny to hear the carolinas referred to as up north. 😂
that slip to landing must have been so terrifying if you're experiencing it for the first time
Amazing Landing
AWESOME

LOL that altimeter is wacked out.
Wait. Patty wagstaff is a real person? I thought it was a fake fsx company!
