Very impressive airplane great pilotage.

The field is really something, too.  Who would have imagined such a nice field in Santa Domingo?

After all, they share the island of Hispanola with Haiti, and have the general conditions as Haiti, but obviously a much better government.

That is amazing!!!! Don't know if you noticed but one of the other videos on that page was a R/C sailplane.  357 MPH!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do they keep them in sight?

With unlimited thrust and no line drag, 357 MPH is not the least bit surprizing.

The fact that anybody was able pilot it was something of a miracle.

If this plane was scaled up to the size of an F-86, what would the scaled up speed end up being? Mach 2 maybe?
