… Dad left a small legacy for his children and I used some of mine to go flying in a T-6 out of Camden Airport; I asked the pilot to aerobat, and after checkingbthat I wasn’t going to be violently airsick, he did just that, though gently as the air raft is 1943 vintage!! Chandelles, rolls, slow rolls etc.; SO much fun and a visceral reminder of how Dad spent 3 years of his life - he always reckoned there was nothing like flyng upside down at speed, and though the speed he was talking about was probably a little more than I experienced, I can vouch for the uniqueness of that attitude in space!!
