That my fellow pilots, was a Cap 10 aerobatic monoplane! I took aerobatic lessons with Gene Soucy, back in 1983 I believe, out of Aero Country Airport, just north of Big D. Nice side by side aerobatic plane!

Incredibly dangerous. A buddy has done also with a CAP 21 and still alive fortunately.

Beautiful maneuver. Bad, bad place for the speaker, right in the middle of the shot.

You see those big, fat, heavy, and underpowered Harvards/Texans/SNJs at the end of the video. Bud Granley used to snaproll THOSE on takeoff.
