After all my life seeing this fun segment from the sidelines it's crazy to watch this 'act' from the airplane/pilot POV without the announcer screaming. You get a real appreciation for the stick and rudder and throttle work going on!

The hardest flying ever, once again, is flying badly; safely. The people who do the comedy acts are some of the best sticks out there and this video only goes to prove they're not mere mortals. Thanks Kyle for letting Erik put cameras on your Super Cub to film this amazing routine!

I’ve watched Kyle’s act for years and it’s SOOO cool to see the incredible control involved in making it look out of control.

I swear you can almost hear that little Cub giggle as Kyle puts it through its paces. Takes a Hellova lot of skill to throw and airplane at the ground like that and miss.... You can sure see his Daddy in him.

He's a better pilot "drunk" than I am sober. I do think a couple of mustard stains on the _white beater_ are needed, though. I mean, we are doing video now. That wasn't the case when I first saw someone do this act back in the 1980s at my home airport, Bowman Field, in Louisville, Kentucky. Great job. 👍

Erik your stuff is always awesome, but man this may be one of if not the best you've done in my opinion. I love seeing how busy Kyle is in there. Talk about energy management and having command of the plane in slow flight. If he ever decides to do STOL contests he'll be a contender. Speaking of that...I'd love to see your take on and the way you'd film one of the STOL greats at work like Steve Henry or one of the Flying Cowboys. Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed that!!

6:35 this is what makes the show. Every time he one-wheels it in the first half, flying all sideways, but always gets it straight before touching that wheel down. Edit* Ground looping it at low speed after engine shutdown, but not when dragging a wing when turning into the taxiway, is a great demonstration that un-intentional ground loops are actually a pilot induced option.

Erik, gotta tell you I Just stumbled across your videos yesterday (fighter pilot vs tanker pilot) and they are great. But, I gotta tell you - and I know photo guys have zero control over this - but wish there was a way to stop the digital cameras from strobing the props. It's disconcerting to see a prop idle during flight.
