Jacquie Warda gives us a very detailed preflight of her Extra 300. Preflights are very important and in the world of aerobatic pilots, it can mean the difference between life and death!
RIP Jacquie Warda
Learned to fly at 32 and quit her white collar job at 50 to become a professional aerobatics competitor and airshow demo pilot. She was 68. She was a legend among women pilots and an inspiration to many more.
Very impressive Jacquie. Thanks Erik for another beautiful tour.
I worked with her at Flightcraft and she is responsible for my entry into the skydiving world and I'll forever be grateful for her friendship. RIP Becker!
Great walk-around. Thanks.
Superb overview of airplane. especially for stunt planes Jacquie. The best I have seen on Line.
Fantastic ! Good Job! you are the best
Fantastic video. I really enjoyed watching this.
That was fantastic !!!!!!
Greetings from Visiting Aircraft Line. Hope to see soon on the MCAS MIRAMAR AIR SHOW. Tom
Jacquie, you are AWESOME !!!!
Thank you! such a great in-depth video!
Much love and respect to you Jacquie! I've always appreciated the ladies out there who are successful in an often male dominated world! Thanks Erik! Great video!
Rich.
Well done. Thank you. Dennis.
Wow! Incredible explanation, thanks for sharing
Thank you for this very comprehensive & informative article. Would love to see you do one from the cockpit, doing your pre start up checks, starting the engine & how you use the controls for specific maneuvers.
I enjoy this vid a lot !Thank you for your job
I just learned a lot from this woman
Thanks for sharing.
Great video. I really enjoyed watching.
Very clearly explained and sympathic. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Switzerland.
Respect from a humble paraglider pilot!
Thanks for making this.
She wears some amazing patches. Sport flying must be hard on a pilot’s clothes to need all those. All kidding aside that was a great video. Thank you J.
I never thought I would find this interesting but I did! In fact I never thought that I would do aerobatics but this year I have had aerobatic passenger rides both in and ON aeroplanes as can be seen on my CZcams channel. My Extra 300 'Utter Nutter' flight is definitely a highlight for me along with the aerobatic wing walk that I did atop a 75 year old Boeing Stearman bi-plane.
What a well-spoken woman!
Предполётный осмотр очень важен! И вот так нужно проверять перед каждым полётом... Слишком тонкая грань между жизнью и смертью... Успехов и удачи Вам. Спасибо за видео...
Great
thats a beautiful airplane. very sexy looks fast just sitting there. thank you for the tour i have learned something.
22:50 "we do our flippy dos"... she has a way with those technical terms. covers = fairings. The rudder counter balance weight is not like an aileron spade (you don't need assist on rudder. Weight prevents flutter.)
Admire this woman👍
Why do aerobatic airfoils have their maximum thickness so far forward compared to the other symmetrical airfoils?
You didn`t go to school in Lovell, Wyoming did you?
Flippy-Doos!
I just want to hug that extra..
If you can rummage up around $600 or so you can 'fly' one of these! I did, and was one of the funnest hours I've ever had! Makes anything else I can think of PALE in comparison!
I recently had a passenger flight in one of these in Britain as can be seen on my CZcams channel. It was fantastic! The pilot gave me lots of air-show quality manoeuvres as part of the 'Utter Nutter' challenge. I completed the challenge and became 'Utter Nutter number 207' out of around 400 that have tried. I still think the aerobatic wing walk that I did atop a Boeing Stearman bi-plane just about tops my Extra 300 flight though!
George Jacob LOL! Yeah, my big mistake was, when I’d done a few maneuvers, telling the pilot, “Show me what this thing can REALLY do.” Several minutes later, searching a few miles back for my stomach... The wing walking sounds neat. Have you tried skydiving?
I told the pilot to start off gently to see if I could cope with the manoeuvres. I screamed during the first easy loop manoeuvre but I was completely fine for the far more difficult tumbling manoeuvres! Yes I've done a couple of tandem skydives both of which can be seen on my channel. I got the idea to skydive at the age of 45. I had to build up my confidence to do it so I did Indoor Skydiving and zip-lining on the longest, fastest zip-line in Europe (ZipWorld in Wales at over 1 mile long and speeds of 100+ mph over a lake). I was VERY nervous before my first 10,000ft skydive but almost all my fear went away the moment I got kitted up and I enjoyed my flight from take off in the plane to landing under the canopy. After skydiving I thought 'How can I top THAT? Wing Walking? YES! WING WALKING!' All I can say is get up there and do it. There is NOTHING like standing on the top wing of a Boeing Stearman and looking down at that propeller and experiencing the thrill of the ride! Plus you get to do the PROPER wing walking in America. In England where I live we're strapped to the top wing from take off to landing. I would love to go to Mason's Wing Walk Academy in Sequim, Washington and do a proper wing walk over the sea. I think they charge about $950 for a flight using both wings or $650 for one wing. Flights last about 25 minutes but you also get hours of training to make sure that you can climb on the wings and secure yourself properly. It's just got to be done!
27:20 what's the water bottle catching (looks like oil)?
Bryan Jansen
Your exactly right! That tube coming out by the tail spills out the oil that finds its way out during the aerobic maneuvers. It keeps leaking out and the bottle catches it to minimize the mess.
@@ErikJohnston is that engine oil?
Bryan Jansen
Yes
Where is the flying bit then? I was enjoying that and wanted to hear her give a running commentary when she took it for a spin. Tell her to come back. More please....
What's the little extra rudder doing on the inner side of the right elevator? Trim?
Isn‘t the pilot sitting on the second seat, so the Center Of Gravity goes further behind and the flight behavior is more unstable? Because in a more unstable flight behavior, bringing the plane in a new state is more easy, and that is what aerobatic pilots want, right?
Or am I wrong?
Domi Grin
Some airplanes are flown solo from the rear seat like the Extra. It’s actually quite common as other examples are the Stearman, Waco, PT-22.
ErikJohnston But does that have a special reason?
Domi Grin
To keep the CG in balance
ErikJohnston Because The CG is at the point of the front seat, right?
interesting... for some reason I don't remember an extra 300 being so tall...
Bryan Jansen
This is a very early Extra. The later ones were low wing to improve forward visibility. Pilots were saying they couldn’t see the runway that well so Walter Extra lowered the wing
❤🖒😇❤
chingon
Lovely lady.
Pretty surprised about the absence of an attitude indicator. But I guess its not IFR equipped for a good reason. No one is doing maneuvers in IMC lol
What? She passed away? Nothing else I can say I guess.
Alter Alter..diese Ea 300 ist schon ein uralter Karton...
das Geschmatze bei jedem Satz nervt ohne Ende..
Great video
