Many thanks to Les Rhind a retired South African airline pilot.
He also flew in the South African Air-force for 5 years.
He has accumulated 21300 flying hours from 1972 till 2018 in 30 different aircraft's like,
Boeing 727 type 100, Boeing 737 - 100,200, Boeing 747-200/SP/300, Airbus A 300, A 340-200-300-600, Douglas DC3 in historic flights SAA, Casa JU 52, Tante JU, Cessna 185 Skywagon, and many more.
He got his PPL licence 1972, 1978 CPL, 1981 ATPL
Myself being a retired mechanical engineer, with 20 years PPL flying experience on Paraglider, Gyrocopter, Helicopter a total over 3300 hr. in the air.
Great video 👍
Amazing skills and very demanding given the Chipmunk was built 44 years ago . I was three years old then and barely walking.
As this is a fixed wing machine , suppose most of the acrobatics are driven by the wing and tail flaps with the pilot bringing out all his skills, courage and precision !! Truly marvelous !!
I wonder if this could be tried on the Boeing 747 or the Airbus A380. This will give the commercial passengers such a thrill . This could also help bail SAA from the serious crisis they are in...more happy passengers ( LOL ) !!!
Nice try, but not possible because non of the commercial passenger liner is designed for aerobatic.
Only certain fixed wing aircraft are built and designed for aerobatic, and if so the pilot needs a special licence to do so.
Awesome aerobics, great video clips, well edited, and congratulations to the pilot he indeed knows what he is doing.
Beautiful acrobatics and again well thought video Arthur
Fantastic video Arthur. What an amazing experience.
Wow... 1956 and such good shape. Looks like an amazing flight. Awesome video. So lucky
May I add that Les Rhind has a unique skill with sterling track record of over 23000 hours..enough time to fly to the Moon and back....Well done !
Akroflug ist immer spannend, besonders mit einer alter Maschine. Ich wurde auch schon geschleppt mit einer Chipmunk. Gutes Video! Gruss von Marcel Wälte aus Winterthur, er findet den Videoclip auch gut. Wünsche weiter gute Flüge und spannende Videos
Gruss Markus
looks like fun was had by all , most fortunate to experience what you have just done , must have been a blast
Fantastic,exciting & scary at the same time
Nice!! but you have to be brave!
Well done Arthur on a great video, you make it look easy especially when we were having so much fun! What’s next?
I learnt to fly the Chippy at RAF Manston in the 1980s while in the AirTraining Corps (ATC) and I still take one up from Manston on occasion - albeit virtually in X-Plane 11 😁
@Arthur Gemperle >>> And THAT...is ONE REASON why I think I would prefer an AUTOGYRO...😊
That said: If I could ACCLIMATE MYSELF to pulling gees like that, I MIGHT be willing to give it a go...👍👍
well done. when I visit you we can even shoot from outside with my drone if you fly veeeeeery slow:::::))))
it looks scary
