I am an airline captain and have flown many different types of turbo props and piston engined aircrafts. I did some aerobatics on a Cessna 152 Aerobat. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity of flying real aerobatic airplanes of which my favourite is the Pitts Special.
I envy pilots who perform great moves on such airplane. I can’t do that on my ATR 72. Maybe one day I will have my luck to try a Pitts or a Zlin.
Happy landing guys.
