Yeah, pretty unbelieveable. Those dudes are cool as cucumbers. Gettin' out is the toughest thing when deciding to bail. Hard to avoid the horizontal stabilizer. The trick to that is to dive to the trailing edge of the right side wing - and that is in a perfect scenario. But when do you have time to think about that - you just need to get the fuch out, NOW.

Just got done reading Fly Low, Fly Fast about the Reno Air Races. Great book for you pilots out there. These guys got balls let me tellya. I have friends who race with RARA and I actually considered doing the T6 class back in the late 90's when they were hurting for 'sixes. Cool stuff...
