Very interesting to watch and watch the precision he has in every single maneuver!

That's what Bill Werwage looked like some time ago.. He's on to even bigger and better things nowadays. Awesome pilot, you can easily see why he's a World Champion.

As a beginner, that is a very instructive video.
Any more videos out there from the flyer's perspective?

Contact bob hunt. He has the Stunt flyer video magazine and I believe on most of them he has one of those in every video. We have one with Frank McMillian and it's very similar to the way he videoed Werwage.

Mark, I gave him the two level laps because that was when Bubba was sprinting out into the circle after takeoff. Probably took at least 11 seconds ~ two laps.  LL~ Steve

Looked like a ittle turbulance that day.   Also, is that Big Jim Greenaway sitting at the table?   I did pick out a couple of others I have met. H^^

Hi Doc,

Large James IS sitting on the bench.  Bobby Lampione is launching and while the launch is going on, Sleepy Dawson (red cap) is "judging" the other circle, behind Bob.  Meal Beekman is another who walks across the screen. (Windy's published "89 Cardinal" (pond scum green) is shown on the ground a few times)
