    What can I say "I'm green with envy" of your turning green experience.

    And it's great seeing real pilots wearing IWC Pilot watches!

    Very, very cool, Clemens! I'd love to have a similar opportunity to take my IWC pilot for a ride in a sleek Lycoming!

    Clemens looks like a ride of a lifetime! Glad you enjoyed it, waiting to see the pictures from the plane. Thanks for taking us land bound viewers along.

    Regards,
    Kevin

    As promised, here is some footage shot from the wing cam. It's quite long, but at 15 minutes and a few seconds, we do a looping and shortly after a roll!

    Flying in the Extra 330 LT

    Enjoy!

    I take my hat of to you for keeping your stomach content in place, mine would fail. Would you do it again though?

    Thanks Greg,

    I would do it again any time! I was there with two colleagues and when I asked them if they would do it again they both said no! A while after the landing I regretted that I didn't ask the pilot to let me do a looping myself. I would have loved to do some other moves, like a Immelman and a Hammerhead!

    Kind regards,

    Clemens
