Well, you are right. You convinced me. I will join with you and stand in awe of some guy as he flops around the sky at a speed that I match when I taxi.

He is good at what he does but what he does, does not impress those that do that sort of stuff all the time.

You’re more over-the-top with each post! Your ego absolutely knows no bounds!

Which is why the Top Gun phrase I quoted came to mind — SNL did an awesome parody of the self-obsessed personality that best matches you — “Iceman, the Later Years”.

Your self-absorbed attitude and colossal ego won’t even allow you to acknowledge the man who may be the world’s best aerobatic pilot, other than in a backhanded, insincere way. I might write it off to youthful immaturity, but I don’t think you have that excuse. Your constant insistence on comparing his skills to whatever an “average military pilot” does in a military jet does is silly, and that’s putting it charitably. Not to mention the inane comparison of military jet vs. recip biplane aerobatics.

Sean Tucker is one of the all-time GREAT aerobatic pilots — and Bob Hoover is impressed enough to believe that too.

Cheers, Ted.
