It just looks like an average test flight with John Shultz.

 

was there much difference between what kenyon is doing and what shultz and mccord and ough used to do in airshow/demonstration flights??

I do not see anything wrong with showcasing and or demonstrating a helicopters (and pilots), abilities at airshows........after all it seems acceptable to watch and be impresswed with fixed wing stunt pilots such as Shawn Tucker, Bob Hoover, etc, and the likes of the Blue Angels and Snow Birds. Not much criticism gets generated from their performances. I think Mr Kenyon did an admirable job of flying in that clip. It was done for just as specific a reason, as any other pilot performing his job (ie: logging, spraying etc.)......jeez, as Skidbiter said, some of you do need to lighten up a wee bit

Wiggins ------- let us please not 'go there' with Shultz stories or we'll be digressed off-subject for weeks.

Unless I'm mistaken, Mr. Kenyon is or was a Schweizer approved test/demonstration pilot. I don't see anything wrong with what he's doing.

 

Obviously, if he were doing this to impress tree planter babes in the bush it would be an entirely different matter

Pardon me- but who the H-ll is "Shultz"???

Splitpin ------ I hate to use the word 'just', but John Shultz is just another' 'character' of canadian R/W aviation. VERTICAL did an article on him some time ago and also made him part of the front cover for that one issue. With a small amount of effort, you might be able to read the article with the help of VERTICAL in doing so. Knowing you, I'm more than sure that you would enjoy the read.

I've been practicing doing the left skid on the ground turn, attitude control is everything. Still working on the rearward climbing spiral, I'll get back to you on that one.

 

 

That man can all out fly, :punk:

 

Cheers

Sweet...the guy flys better backwards than I do forwards!! Another reason retirement is starting to look good.

 

Play safe.

Right, sorry for my earlier comment. Very uncalled for to make an insult. Didn't know who he was, what he was doing it for, or where his experience level was at.

 

It was some amazing flying, but all the same, I won't try it myself. And hope that every fresh pilot wanting to taste some glory won't either.

another jerkoff encouraging others to try to live lucky

 

I understand, my friend. I know the duress you've been through lately....
