TThe 2009 Cable airshow was the first air show performance for Martin Kennedy, flying his Staudacher S 600. He was a competition aerobatic pilot for a number of years. The Staudacher S 600 is an aircraft of which there aren't a whole lot of, with only about 20 or so flying. They were designed by Jon Staudacher for unlimited aerobatics. Martin flew a great performance and I look forward to seeing more of his performances in the future. At the end of the show on Sunday, Rob Harrison welcomed him to the air show world with a nice bucket of cold water, which got more of Rob than of Martin, but it was all in good fun.
Rob tips the bucket as Martin heads for cover and Doug Jardine looks on.
