| − | Passing over Devil's Tower (of Close Encounters of the Third Kind

| |
| − | gave them a show. You can see the race planes on the ramp.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Pylon turn" at Rockford, IL AirVenture Cup 2006. Believe it or not,

| |
| − | surprised when I see the video and remember the bumps!

| − | Flying finish at Dodge County, WI (KUNU) for AVCUP 2008 I wanted to
| |
| − | be a lot lower for the finish but I misjudged the timing to let down
| |
