That was entertaining and that "farmer" is a hell of a good pilot. My dad said after WWII his brother-in-law had a Piper Cub like this one and he used to take my dad flying in it. I guess his brother in law used to do rolls and loops in it too and my dad said he'd hold his hands on the ceiling as stunts were being done in it. His in-law was a tail gunner in a B24 in WWII and made it to, I believe, 35 or 40 missions. They kept upping the number before you could be released and he was one of the few crews that made it.

No, it's not because of the corona virus that you aren't going to airshows. It's because Bill Gates CREATED a minimally invasive virus, and has been commissioned to force a vaccine on all Americans and people abroad to usher in a one world government. That's what's really happening. So instead of "missing airshows", why don't you direct your efforts and anger toward this asshole and assist those of us who are trying to stop him. Don't think for a minute this virus was an accident. They are counting on people to believe the official narrative. Go study up on Bill Gates, and you'll find a world of information out there that the main stream media wishes you didn't know.

I saw an airshow act like this when I was a kid only they handed out tickets to win a free flight lesson. I desperately wanted to win. The “Student” who won got into the airplane and “accidentally” took off. The best part was when the student came flying along the viewing stands, cut power, and yelled “Help” out the open door. It was 50 years ago and I still remembered it like I was there!
