Still, what he does is cool.

My sailplane instructor placed second in the world sailplane aerobatic championships. With no engine, you have to work with gravity and the aerodynamic qualities of your sailplane. Loops, rolls, all kinds of fun stuff, and you have to do it without running out of altitude. Her name is Nancy Blank, and she's one hell of a pilot.

Yup. . .but not a fighter pilot.

You do know there are two types of aircraft. . .fighters and targets.

She looks kinda familiar, and she's from Florence AZ. I wonder if she flew at Estrella in the late 70's early 80's? I might have met her then.
