French Connection Formation Aerobatics - in Cockpit 1988

Over Hudson River, north of Poughkeepsie, NY. VERY bumpy day. Maneuvers include loop, hammerhead, barrel roll, cloverleaf, mirror turn, takeoff, landing. Source for this edit: VHS dub. Aircraft: Mudry CAP10B Airport: Dutchess County (KPOU) Camcorder: Canon 8mm, wide angle.

They had a request from a French TV station that needed footage as soon as possible. I was one of their long-time students and photographers, becoming part of my family. They gave me very little warning to get to the airport. After the flight, I quickly made a VHS dub of the original 8mm tape before it was sent overseas overnight.

In Memory of Daniel Héligoin & Montaine Mallet, pilots.
