Dr. D's Old Time Aerobatics
Doctor Frank Donnelly
flies a 1946 T-cart (N6588C) to perform aerobatics routines as
they were done in the 1950s and 1960s. It seems a little tame
compared to what some of today's performers do with airframes
made of composite material, but the manuevers are just as
difficult to perform, and are done well by Dr. D. Toward the
end of his routine, he climbs up to a higher altitude and
performs several manuevers with the engine powered down! After
that, he performs a landing with the engine out as well. His
influence is Duane Cole, an aerobatic performer from the 1950s
and 60s.
