impressions

[George Kennie]

Yeah Mark,
I'm going to have to study this baby for a while, and I do mean a while. Yeah, that loop with the roll sounds to me like
it's going to be tough. Depending upon which airplane I happen to be flying, that maneuver can sometimes surprise me at
how effortlessly it can be executed, other times and different birds it can be untamable.
I am acutely aware that if I master this thing I will probably feel that I am in some way distantly related to Quique.
