vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Is this still done?" 11-21-02, 17:42z  When I was a kid, I went to an airshow and saw a maneuver that I thought was spectacular and wondered if it's still being done. If memory serves, it was called a Vertical Reversement. The pilot rolled 90 degrees to a knife edge and applied hard bottom rudder. The tail would describe an 180 degree downward arc, the pilot would roll level effectively doing a 180 degree change of direction in a *very* small space. Is something like this still done and what is it called? BTW, for those that missed it, the chat with Patty Wagstaff, Dale Snodgrass & Mike Mancuso was a lot of fun! Look forward to the next one! Thanx, Vic Baron Of all the things I've lost - I miss my mind the most -= VPC OffLine Reader 2.1 =- Registered to: Vic Baron -OLR.PL v1.80- Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
