Pictures of the day: Aerobatic discovery flight

By General Aviation News Staff · May 10, 2015 ·

Kyle Mullen from CTI Professional Flight Training at Millington Regional Jetport (NQA) in Tennessee sent in this photo taken April 30. He explains: “Our CEO (a former topgun instructor) giving a potential student an aerobatic discovery flight in our Waco Great Lakes.”

The CEO’s call sign in the Navy was “Shoes” — notice the tail number when inverted spells “SHOESN,” Kyle said.

“It was the student’s first time in a small aircraft, but he was a trooper,” Kyle said. “He was doing his own aileron rolls by the end of the flight!”
