Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show. An excellent summary of alcoholism I changed because I have the sickness of alcoholism, alcoholism doesn't come in bottles it comes in people. You should have seen me. I drank for happiness and became unhappy; I drank for joy and became miserable. I drank to be out-going and became self-centred; I drank for sociability and became argumentative and lonely; I drank for sophistication and became crude and obnoxious. I drank for friendship and made enemies, I drank to soften sorrow and wallowed in self-pity; I drank for sleep and awakened without rest. I drank for strength and felt weak. I drank for masculinity and it sapped my potency; I drank medicinally and got sick. I drank because I thought my job called for it and lost my job. I drank to stimulate thought and blacked out. I drank to make conversation and got to where I couldn't talk at all; I drank to forget and became haunted. I drank for freedom...
There is a big question as to if that video is real. Maybe a really good stunt pilot with a really good stunt plane could do it, but it'll never happen with a normal pilot and a Cessna.
ReplyDeleteI sat watching it the first time with a pilot who I've flown with several times. He believed it but his comment was "only in a plane with that amount of power since it could knifedge (I think that was the phrase) like that."
ReplyDeleteSo yes ordinary pilot with ordinary plane no chance.
Holy Krap !!!
ReplyDeleteEither way you look at it it stills blows your mind!
ReplyDeleteCol - I know even if it's a fake the energy and thought to make this is amazing.
