- Third generation stunt pilot and Minnesota's favorite daredevil, John Mohr, attempts astonishing aerial acrobatics in his 1943 Stearman biplane.

Nice flying. Love the classic Stearman biplane.
Been up in that plane with him, back in 1978….Apple Valley, MN. Great pilot!
Had the pleasure of watching him fly at the Cozumel airshow last month. Great pilot, and good guy
Wow!
Beautiful airplane and great airbatics.
I couls see it all day long!
I hallways dreamed flying like this in a countryside like this.
Flew a bi-plane like this doing aerobatics with a super professional pilot in Airlie Beach
Australia...How soon can we go again?
I look at that flying and all I can think of is "there's old pilots and bold pilots but no old, bold pilots".
I had the very same thought. I used to do those same ground skimming tricks too…only mine were remote control model airplanes. :)
Most airlines pilots are low time simulater confident bus drivers, the group that can fly like this and of course ex military pilots ensure you safest ride. No computer can replace the actions of a seasoned pilot, to think so is arrogant and often fatal.
Here In Illinois we call them crop dusters! Lol some pilots around here are CRAZY!!!!
I want my airline pilot to try this.
Pt-17, beautiful
Oh, but so many things below 1500 feet are too much fun not to try!
Love it
Would ride with that pilot ANYTIME !!!!!!!
This is the way airplanes were meant to be flown. None of that Cessna 150 /172 nonsense. I've flown a stearman and are they ever nice and solid. Lovely planes.
Is this the plane in aerial america?
Its a testament to pilots professionalism that they know when to fly like this and when to fly smoothly like for a commercial flight
Id want to fly on a plane piloted by someone who can make a plane dance like this too you never know what situation this level of skill could be helpful in
Even if he is breaking the law while doing this?
The scariest part flying that plane is the landing... can't see anything in front of you, so you slip it in, kick the rudder in, use your peripheral to gauge where you are on the runway and tap dance that sucker till it stops...
Thats a lot harder than flying a cessna 172!
That guy would do great in ww1... :D
Why?
@@aviationspotter348 Plane was built in 1943. That's how.
Quite some airline pilots own Stearman biplane, and share the joy of ride too such as facebook.com/MagnoliaAviation
!!!!!
Actually airshow pilots hold a different kind of certificate which allows them to fly lower that what the law stipulates. They can go as low as "surface" based on several factors. Mr. Mohr is THE Stearman legend! @DumbledoreMcCracken
No they don't. Pilots performing in an airshow fall under a waiver issued specifically for that show, and I believe the waiver names each pilot explicitly.
@@DumbledoreMcCracken waiver is the right word. However, we are talking two different things. Airshow specific vs an airshow pilot being allowed to perform aerobatics close to the ground and that is specific to each performer.
@@almoon7142 point to the regulation in the CRF then.
Everything that is enforceable is in the CRF, which is itself derived from The United States Code (i.e. actual US Law). ACs don't have the force of law.
@@DumbledoreMcCracken you quote a section of whatever I am talking about in your comment from 7 years ago... more info, less info... point is wasn't illegal.
@@almoon7142 yes it is, and you have no standing to believe otherwise. Any simple google search will show my post is ABSOLUTELY correct.
If you were a pilot, or even passed the written test (and not a pilot), you would know this regulation.
Free to do whatever he wants...within the limit of the FAR/AIMs and his checkbook
Actually, aerobatics are illegal below 1500 ft above the surface.
"CFR › Title 14 › Chapter I › Subchapter F › Part 91 › Subpart D › Section 91.303 - Aerobatic flight.
§ 91.303 Aerobatic flight.
No person may operate an aircraft in aerobatic flight-
(e) Below an altitude of 1,500 feet above the surface.
For the purposes of this section, aerobatic flight means an intentional maneuver involving an abrupt change in an aircraft's attitude, an abnormal attitude, or abnormal acceleration, not necessary for normal flight."
Having been to two airshows where people died as a result of ignoring this advice, I'm a proponent of the rules, even if the FAA has granted an individual a waiver.
Even if the flight is over your own property?
@@tpsu129 yes
When hes doing stunts hes still in a Boeing (even if it isnt commercial)
