Video: Aerobatic fun in an Extra 300 for the World Aerobatics Championships from Flight International by Stuart

I think the video neatly captures my excitement and gradual fear as my instructor takes me through various aerobatic manoeuvres, but notice how my face gradually gets paler and I get quieter as the tricks start to get bigger.

Source: Markus Zipperer, an engineer with Germany's JetCat, which helped manufacture the jet-powered mono-wing that adventurer Yves Rossy will use Thursday morning at 0800 EDT for his attempt to fly across the English Channel.
