Apr 15, 2008 - It was fun flying with Krista, she did a great job. The planes you see are a mix of Russian Yaks & Chinese CJ-6's. Both are great planes. Red Thunder #4 - Talon

Apr 16, 2008 - This experience I will cherish forever! Much thanks to Herpa, AVWeb and to all those talented pilots off my wings. Having you all next to me in the sky made it extra special in more ways than you'll ever know. Now, off to finish up my instrument rating and I think I'll go for the "multi engine" rating too! Thanks Dan for the introduction!

May 20, 2008 - Wow! That's some mom! But then again, I tend to regard any woman who can fly as goddess. Enjoyed the video, enjoyed the show and enjoyed the company of the many people who share with me a passion for aviation.

zeker111 Says:

Aug 30, 2008 - what the hell is difficult about that? all she has to do is turn very very slowly, it's not her problem what the 8 planes are doing behind her!! argh why are they telling she's a good pilot?? the other 8 pilots did an excellent job, not her
