Video of the Month

I had something else picked out for this month's Video of the Month, but when I came across this rather long video of pilot John Mohr flying his stock Stearman Kaydet at the 2008 NAS Oceana Airshow in Oceana, Virginia...I just had to share it with you guys!

John's performance is very tight to show center and most of his maneuvers are under 300 feet. I usually don't have the patience to watch an online video of this length, but this routine had me captivated the whole time. Be sure to watch at least to nine minutes or so as his "falling leaf" stall is truly incredible!
