I'll have to ask him next time I see him to take a picture of the hanger. It makes grown men like me, shake at the knees.
Lots of toys, but all around a superb guy. Both Eric (in the video) and his old man Andrew.

Was that an S2? Either that or he does a pretty nice 4 pt while not paying attention to any of his sight lines.

 

[Nark]

He's Canadian. I told his old man I'd teach him to shoot of could teach me to fly.
Yep, it's an S2.

Hey guys - that's me in the video.

I got a PM from Nark on another site we frequent, with a link to this thread in it and a suggestion to introduce myself, so here I am. This video has gotten way more attention then I thought it would; from seeing where it is embedded it's been all over aviation forums and in a couple online aviation magazines. Yes it is a two seater (we have 3 S2B's), however the footage from the forward-facing helmet camera at the beginning after take off and during the spin shows an empty front seat - take from that what you will!
