Art and I just played "Scare You" and now he's in trouble with the FAA.
We're ridge running thru the Rockies. He thinks flying close to the mountains would scare me.
We are in a G5. My turn. I did same inverted with rolls at 50 ft. The problem happened when someone reported an out of control jet over I-70.
Bell you'll appreciate this ...
EAGLE TOWER : Aircraft flying like nuts....you're cracked. Respond.
Art : He's nuts. I'm just cracked!
We land soon.
Quick update :
FAA met us at tie-down. We chated. We watched wingtip GoPro video over coffee.
He couldn't stop laughing at the fact that 2 old farts would "play" that way and said he wished he was with us.
Then, he confiscated the chip as evidence for Art's upcoming license hearing.
Art was cool about it all. He said that if he loses his license for a year we'll just buy a couple of ultralights to satisfy our urge to fly.
Off to Sacramento tomorrow.
I'll try to mind my manners....don't leave a hangar open!
