This was a flight I’ve been waiting to do my whole life; an aerobatic ride in a 1975 Cessna 150 Aerobat!
These planes are becoming rare, and a chance to do some aerobatics in one was an opportunity of a lifetime. It almost felt wrong to do loops and rolls in a 150…

Couple points: I’ve been saying Cessna wrong my whole life and now thanks to my viewers I am fully aware of that haha. (My parents both speak Spanish so I guess I learned inaccurate pronunciations of a few words)
Also this was not a training flight, I was only along for the ride. The PIC is a great CFI and when it came to the aerobatics he was in control 100% of the time.
Thanks everyone for watching!
FloridaFlying I says,nah. Keep saying cezzna!
Oh i know it wasnt a training flight. I was trying to encourage all pilots to go to get some aerobatic training. It makes you a FAR better and far far more precise pilot. The qualities you learn as just run of the mill skill flying aerobatics could easily dave your own and passengers life somewhere down the road.. I would imagine you can see how that would be after your flight. Go do another one of those though and get him to do some Split Ses and Chandells maybe a hammerhead or two..Theyre really really fun. I forget the G limit for the 150 but im sure if it can handle a snap roll it can do split s and chandells im sure tgey are about tge same g load. I wouldnt recommend anything getting into the five or six gee neighborhoods. You have to have a love of flight for those. Anyone who didnt really love it would hate pulling gee loads as high as those because having your lips peeled back over your head and your face and scalp popping off the back sounds like it might be a plesant sensation then maybe you would like it lol. Seriously though at high gee your mouth gets all pulled back and it feels like that really. I dont think your face muscles would have the strength to push your lips back togather if they initally were seperated and pulled back like that . i clench mine and i think it works to hold them togather but dont know as ive never seen a pic of myself pulling high gee and my concentration is elsewhere. Anyway not trying to make fun or run you down..im a perfectionist with slight ocd--thats why it kills me its like sandpaper on my brain...lol so i comment on things like that. Sometimes gets people pissed and if ive done that appoligies. Actually trying to help
Just discovered ur chan though and going to subscribe and liked the vid
Simon says Cessnah
FloridaFlying I looked to the comments first to see about Cezna. And it was there first thing. Thanks!
I love the brutality of CZcams!!
I wanted to buy a plane, but my wife ceznah...
😂😂😂😂
Hilarious! She must be my wife's sister 😭
Cessna* but still funny asf
Yes
It's ok, I can help you find a new wife..!
Imagine hearing a plane flying over, looking up and seeing a Cessna 150 doing a loop 😂
You mean a cezna?
@@What_was_wrong_w_jst_our_names I think that the plane lose control
@@What_was_wrong_w_jst_our_names cessna
RP ADDICT, you'd be looking up long before the plane came in sight. A 150 Acrobat sounds most un-Cessnalike when doing its thing. It grabs your ears before it comes in sight.
Nothing wrong with that 😂🤷🏾♂️
CEZNA
Says-Nuh
1:45 in and I've found his pronunciation of Cessna ( (/ˈsɛsnə/"CESS-nah") very annoying.
In my entire life of flight and training no one ever corrected me until this video. My pilot father and pilot brother both say it that way and I guess it stuck to me
@@FloridaFlying I get that. I do. I'm from New England and I "r" drop and all that, especially when I am drunk.
I did finish the video. Did you get to manipulate the controls for any of the maneuvers?
@@FloridaFlying it also sounds like you're saying pasZes...(paces)
Wow, NOW THAT brings back memories. When I was about 16, I rode a pushbike to my nearest airport 20 kms from home (in Hamilton, New Zealand) to watch the planes - as you do. A guy was preflighting a Cessna 150 Aerobat. We chatted, and he said you want to come flying (this is back in 1982). I said YES! And then he told me we would do some aerobatics.......... yeah....ok...... I did not know what to expect was but ok with it - I was going flying! Off we went - unfortunately I don't remember too much except the aerobatics. 3 rolls, 3 lops and a 3.5 rotation spin. We then landed at his farmer friends property - up a hillside grass runway. Had a chat and a rest and returned to the airport One of the best days of my life. I wasn't sick, but as the farmer pointed out - I was green ;-) I don't remember any of the pushbike ride home - I was buzzing with excitement to tell everyone what I had done. Today as you can see from my youtube channel - I fly trikes in Australia. Aviation fulfillment!
And - Thank you for your video!
What a wonderful story! It’s been so cool to see people telling their stories about the aerobat in the comments. Thanks for sharing!
So cool! I'm glad you had that experience!
My first paragliding flight was as a tandem passenger. I didn't realize at the time that my instructor was an acro pilot, and I had no idea those things could actually go upside down. We got into some pretty extreme wingovers and it was such a thrill.
Yeah, I was hooked.
Just subscribed and hit that bell button, I like your story...
Oh my god my dad (Gary Parata) is a long haul captain for air NZ and he goes to this camp (for 30 years” Walsh scout flying school in Matamata, he instructs young pilots
I flew the Aerobat Cessna in Hamilton a few years ago. It was pretty old but held up well. We had to remove all loose objects from the cockpit. It was cool if we could hit our own wake in a loop. I could never master the stall turn.
A 172 aerobat would've been incredible. Much love for the 150 Aero, such a sweetheart.
Nice video! I learned aerobatics in a Super Decathlon, then I bought an Extra when I moved up to Advanced and Unlimited, but there's something so fun about flying a 152 Aerobat. It's a simple pleasure to just go up and mess around in a plane you think can't do what you're making it do. Thanks for sharing this video. It brought back happy memories.
That's one great instructor. Makes me miss rolling the old Aerobat I used to fly. I need to get some more aerobatics training!
He’s very professional in the cockpit. The aerobat sure is an awesome plane, I was lucky to get the whole experience. Thanks for the comment Josh!
Awesome! Thanks for the cool video!
I have been looking for a good video of the aerobat for awhile.....finally found it! Thank you!
That zzzzz give me neck pain.
better than rich ppl flexing their super cars
Ops Neo Funny m”place” to say “PPL”that could mean “private pilot license“ or “people.” Which one are you going with?
But it's fun watching them get ticket after ticket for doing what the vehicles are designed to do. They certainly love showing off for you tube dont they? I dont hate em at all...I'd do the same thing.
@@mog882 I was reading it as the licence but now idk anymore
Ops neo is right. I totally dig this way more.. partially because we blow a lot of money into making planes fly.. super rich people and super cars they are just wasting money (which is still pretty hilarious)
I’m glad I’m not rich cause I’d probably do dumb shit like this and get in a wreck
Never flown in an aerobat before, it looks like a great little plane. Also very professional pilot at the controls
Looks like a whole lotta fun !! The 150 Aero is a great little plane to toss around!
Great little vid! Aerobatic pilot myself but never in a 150, looks fun!
Steve.
England.
You're saying Cessna like Stewie Griffin says CoolWhip.
Ryan Fox dead.... 🤣😂💀
Kewl wip
Awesome video dude I'm really impressed of the acro capability of the 150 ! Furthermore, you're really doing a great job editting your flights and I really enjoy the way you show what you love to do! Keep it doing it men, kind regards from Santiago de Chile :D saludos
Hey man thank you so much! That means a lot, I appreciate it :)
Great Flight Lesson. Great video. Thank you for creating and posting.
Awesome! Love the mighty 150!
I've been lucky enough to grow up in an aviation family and I've flown and flown in many aircraft and nothing beats doing aerobatics, it's amazing 🙌🏻
I LOVE this plane :D We had quite the adventure together! Thanks for sharing!! :D
AviatorShow I saw your video a year ago and I never thought I’d fly in the exact plane! And I saw Melissa in the skydancers movie! Small world. It’s a famous little 150
Very cool man, very cool! You need to fly her down to X07 to visit sometime! I can take you for a rip in the Cub :)
As an owner of Cessna 150 many years ago, most of my practice time was spent trying to not do aerobatics! If I remember correctly, the Aerobat door hinges had removable inside pins to release the doors in flight to allow easier use of parachutes.
Thanks for the trip back in time. I got a few flights in a 150 Aerobat while working as a lineboy at Newton, Kansas in the early-1970s. Lots of fun. Bede aircraft, Burt Rutan, and the Red Devils Aerobatic Team, Charlie Hillard, Gene Soucy and Tom Poberezny were based there as well. A long time ago.
I once gave a friend of mine an instrument currency eval in an Aerobat. Under the hood, I gave him an unusual attitude recovery that was pretty much a barrel roll! Fun!
You were flying an IFR-certified Aerobat? I thought the 150/152 was not certifiable for IFR flight? I could be wrong, though.
@@crooked-halo Yep. IFR legal. My own C-150 met the recurring inspections for pitot static/altimeter, VOR and Transponder/Mode C. I flew it IMC often.
@@crooked-halo I got my instrument rating in my Cessna 150 J. No problems. I wouldn't go seeking out bad weather, though. It's still a fair-weather airplane.
ik04, mother nature gave me an instrument competency check "pop quiz" at night in a T34 when neither I nor the airplane was IFR certified. Crescent moon night, 2500 ft above SCT -> BKN clouds, and suddenly my nav and beacon lights were reflecting back at me and no visible horizon. I failed THAT checkride, coming out of the cloudbase at 1,000 MSL in a high speed, high G spiral, gyros all tumbled. Thank God for a 9G airplane, or I would have pulled a "JFK Jr". G meter recorded 7+, and I saw my nav light reflections in the water pulling out.
Awesome! I enjoyed this flight! Have never flown a Cessna Aerobatic! Thanks so much for the demo flight!
Awesome video !! I happen to have 2 RC 150 Aerobats. Love them both. One is a tiny 35" model and the other is a 84" giant scale. I love seeing the full scale bird put through it paces!
Got spin training and subsequently soloed on the 150 aerobat back in the late 90's . Great little plane.
C150 Aerobat - I trained in one 30 years ago here in Canberra Australia, VH-TCO; was even the same colour as this one.
I learned to fly in one of these at a crop dusting school! I’ve completed a few rolls among other maneuvers
Love it. One of my first experience in aerobatic basic maneuver Aerobatic!
Always wanted to see this in a 150. Awsome video
Still a great video. Thanks for posting.
Great plane, a buddy of mine had one, we went flying in the early 80s with it, what fun it was! Loops, hammerheads, what a blast it was.
Beautiful video recordings, very nice video editing. Thanks to be part of this flight.
Awesome video !Keep them coming please. 🛫😊🇺🇸👍
Thats awesome! Gotta love the Cessna 1Filthy
What a wonderful airplane the C-150 is. Thanks for a great video.
Good job. Done this and much more in a great lakes open cockpit. With the wind in your ears, makes it even more exciting. Immelmans and reverse, snaprolls and 4 point rolls. Hammerheads and spirals, loops and inverted flying. It will test your intestinal fortitude.
I did it!
Enjoyable!
Only way you are a competent pilot.
Saved my life!
Thank you!
fantastic. Really hits home how amazing my Air Force friends are... zheesh
Loved those little planes. They climb like a sloth. But you can have a lot of fun in them once you get to altitude.
Really enjoyed that great video👍🏼
Ahh the memories. I did my training in a C152. My first flight sitting left seat, my instructor put us in a spin and told me how to recover. I followed his instructions but left a stain on the seat.
LOL @ Cezzna
First time I saw the word, I think I was 9, I said “Kessna” and my dad immediately corrected me. Good thing he knew how to say it!
One day I went to the airport to take a lesson, fairly early in my training. Happened to be the day another student did his first solo. They had cake to celebrate. Then we went up and practiced stalls. Turns out that cake + stalls didn’t sit well with my instructor. I had to take over while he turned green! Fun times.
Best Cessna Aerobat video in CZcams thank you
Very cool Thanks for the ride !
Really nice flying. A small suggestion, when reaching the top of the loop, releasing a bite of back pressure allows the aircraft to fly an almost perfect circle.
This is soooo cooool!
“All those maneuvers” lol
Love it! Thanks!
Hope you got to fly and try a few rolls and loop! Great video.
Just Awesome 👏🏻
Posted this in FB group The Aviator’s Lounge... loved the video..
Great to see that I always wanted to fly a Cessna 150 Aerobat when I first saw it actually in a Acrobatic Competition and if it had more power than what it was manufactured I would have a 150 HP with a constant speed prop and yes it would had more weight and more forward CG and my counter weight in the tail fuselage would have to be increased to equal out my useful weight but unfortunately I could get my altitude that I need to do my maneuvers more guicker and my airspeed indicator would have to be recalibrated to have the exact true ready ! The last time I did any Acrobatics was in a Super Decathlon and i did some spin training with my instructor . The one thing that happened to another student is they pull to many G loads and things can happen very fast to a Aircraft. Thank you for the great ride.
Thiz video with a Cezzna performing aerobaticzz izz great!!! 😁😁
I took aerobatic lessons in one of these in the late ‘70’s at Cross Keys in south Jersey. A real kick. Had to dive to pick up enough speed for loops and a few other tricks. Best one was vertical snap rolls into a hammerhead stall, then back into vertical snap rolls but this time straight down.
I can't help but think how many new pilots would still be with us if basic acrobatics was part of a private pilots license. Where a young pilot recognizes a pending stall or spin and recognizes and safely maneuvers avoiding the situation. Or simply how much more confidence a low time pilots has in a fuller range of flying instead of getting into a dangerous situation without either recognizing or knowing how to safely recover.
Panic vs Play
I think the FAA stopped requiring spin training for the PPL because more people were getting killed in spin training than in accidental spins. I did spin training in a standard Cessna 152 for my PPL and it was pretty terrifying.
@igclapp I loved it. My father, who retired with over 36,000 hrs, off NorthWest, went up with me, and we did 14 stalls-spin-recoveries. Also, lazy eights, accelerated stalls. Fear was replaced with understanding and confidence.
Next level of Cesna, and training new pilots
Thanks for posting! Looks so awesome. Gonna go barf now. Say Cessna however you want.
I use to fly the Cessna 150 Aerobat.... Yup a wonderful plane it is.... I'm planning to purchase one when I retire from the Service soon.... Back to Flying a Cessna Again..... Keep it up guys. 👍
I was fortunate that the FBO back in the 80's rented a 152 aerobat, and that there was a qualified aerobatic instructor. We did just about everything you could do with the limited horsepower and no inverted fuel and oil. Inverted flight was done by rolling inverted and gliding down a 1000 feet then rolling upright and restarting. The most miserable maneuver for me was the English Bunt which was also done with no power. It was amazing how fast it snapped to the left compared to the snap roll to the right. Great memories were made. Thanks for the video.
Great plane. They are lots of fun.
Awesome! Well filmed, narrated and executed..... More pilots should learn basic aero....
Incredible fligt congratulations for the ride. My father was a cessna pilot and aeronca airplanes and never dreams whit this maneuvers in this Planes. Clap claps.
Fantastic!!
WOW, amazing... Im now download the FS2020 and this plane its in... and I don´t know and hurry ap go to youtube and see your video. AMAZING, excellent, superb!!, many thanks from south of Argentina.
My first flight ever in a plane back in 86' was in a 152 (G-TEES), i was 11 and my dad winked airside security to be asleep, and we stole the plane, i was so crapping myself . Then. It was full throttle and we were airbourne. (He did his PPL on the quiet)The penny dropped and i think i swore at dad, laughing so much after, it was all pre arranged lol.
Great memories. Soon after i was up with dad and instructors doing ANC and performed first stall/spin recovery when i was 12... i did it perfect throttle back , carb heat, nose up, wait for the cat screach, pull it back hard and stick the boot in, the recovery was perfect too but id turned a shade of grey/green on my first one (maybe the pressure lol) that was in an old 150 i loved so much G- **LY . They are like a mini with wings , gorgeous planes with great visibility over tomahawks and cherokees , I flew them as well but a Cessna is so much better and fits. Long live c152/150 xx
Great video... feel 12 again !!
Wow, I looked up that plane reg and it says it was destroyed in an accident just a few years later!
Amazing!!!
Cheers from Mexico city
Safe flight u guys
I learned to fly in a 150. That's a sweet little airplane, responsive and honest. My instructor demonstrated a spin -- but only once -- and said he knew of someone who looped a standard 150. What a great machine!
ChargeOn! GoKnights, great to see another UCF aviator.
I learned much from my Glider (sailplane) rating. I learned tons about weather, mountain flying, and stick and rudder skills. This aircraft also has wing struts off a 172.
Nice ! 👌👏
This is good, love it :-)
Aw man, I knew the gifted linguists on youtube weren't going to let you get away with that. On your content, its great to see the little Aerobat put through its paces. I'd almost forgotten about it. As you said, not many of them around. Great video!
Haha, I am getting torn up for the pronunciation! But thank you for the comment!
INA CEZNA!!! Love it!!
Looks like serious fun to me
I remember my first airobatic flight, we practiced doing wingovers and gun runs on a major traffic intersection... taking great delight in the looks of panic on the drivers faces! 😋
That must have been pre-9/11.
When I used to skydive a lot, one of our club pilots would read a Duane Cole aerobatic book at home and then after he dumped us out, he would practice aerobatics on the way down in our 182. He even barrel rolled the plane with a load of jumpers in it. Lots of times he gave us a bit of zero Gs. I did a back flip- or at least three-fourths of one inside the plane. We used to joke that our club pilots were frustrated fighter pilots. We had so much fun in the jump plane.
Glad to see a UCF hat on a CZcamsr. Thanks for the videos.
Dragonfly” what a nice touch 👍🏽
An excellent definition between a snap roll and aileron roll.
Awesome
good practise and experience for this fly .
Good show mate! 😰 👍💨
That instructor is awesome!
Nice! 😁🤗😋🙏👍😇
Thats sick
Gets back into his own plane and snaps his wing off trying to snap
C-150A was my first aerobatic aircraft experience, followed shortly thereafter by the Pitts S-2B then later the F-16. It makes a nice aerobatic aircraft, only downfall is climb performance, so after an altitude-losing maneuver like a split-S or spin it takes a bit to climb back to altitude for more fun. I learned a great C-150A spin-entry technique from my instructor to get a good, sharp over-the-top spin entry every time (rather than simply mushing nose-down into the spin.) Approx. 5 to 10 knots above stall speed, rapidly snatch the remaining stick back into your lap as you stuff the rudder - the nose comes up and the spin entry is always over the top every time rather than nose-low. On the loop in this video, they bump into their own wake, meaning the loop was pulled off nicely. It is the same in every aircraft, even on the T-38A and AT-38B I flew, we took 10,000' to scribe out a loop (e.g. start at 10K and 500 knots, apex at 20K, then finish back at 10,000' and 500 knots) - if it is nice and symmetrical, even when it is a 10,000' loop, you still hit your own wake at the bottom if done correctly.
It’s kinda sad, put most pilot’s are not taught how to apply rudder at high airspeed and opposite rudder at low. Then as A/S drops over the top in a loop for example allow the airplane to fly over the top so from the ground it appears to actually scribe an arch, or loop.
Nice video!
Oh man I love the original version of ur background music
We had an aerobat where I was flying, my knees always got weak whenever I even "looked" at that the plane. :-)
Nice video. I enjoy aerobatics, but have no stomach for it. I'm also very proud of the fact that I have less than 10hrs in a C150. It's a good plane, but I'm not built for it. Safe Skies!
Back in the '80s, I did some of my primary Aerobatics in an old C-150, fun. I later got a Pitts S-1C, and did Competition Aerobatics. In that time frame, I watched Doc Harvey take that same 150, and do the IAC Primary
Sequence. (A 45 Up Line, a Vertical Down Line with 1, and a half rolls, A Reverse Half Cuban Roll, Full Loop, 180 Aerobatic Turn, and a Full Roll.) Yep, that Airframe is still out there doing it's thing.
I was at Avalon international airshow down here in Australia on the weekend with air cadets ( largest airshow in southern hemisphere ) I saw a Vietnam era fighter called the dragonfly by Cessna! It was a fast jet and demonstrating handling!
Nice one, used to see it around here, not these day however. Shame, I would love to do all that, even just for a day!
I have about 15 hrs. In a 150...hearing the stall horn makes me pucker a little bit, and im sitting in my living room...great video.
Good old times. I learned on a Cessna, done all the manuvers you did include landing on ice lake bed. It's a great trainer too slow for me now.
Nice paint job on the Sezzna....
MARAVILLOSO!!! CESSNA
You guys are the smartest 2 people I've seen on CZcams flying planes. Pilots should take note.
" Parachutes", just in case. This is what common sense looks like.
