Awesome Cockpit Video: Jason Newburg - Viper Pitts At OSH10

 This must see cockpit video from viperairshows on youtube is on par with the Sean Tucker video at Chicago from last year - it's not only low level aerobatics at the highest level, but this is at Oshkosh! Jason Newburg really tore the sky up at OSH10 in the Viper Pitts, and you can really see that in this video. It's also an excellent opportunity to watch the rudder and elevator during the maneuvers. I enjoy that as much as any of it because you can learn a lot from watching where the control surfaces are and the effect it has on the airplane.

 It's also very cool to watch the smoke behind the airplane, as well as the smoke that's flown thru in various maneuvers. Pay attention to the rolling tailside that starts at about the 3:15 mark... once the airplane stops the vertical climb, Jason turns the smoke off and then keeps rolling as the airplane descends backwards. It's awesome watching him work the rudder pretty much from stop to stop to keep it falling straight backward - and it goes on for a really long time!

 I also really like the hangin'-on-the-prop pass that starts at the 5:30 mark. It's interesting to see what visual clues he's using as he has the airplane nearly stopped, hanging on the prop. Here again I like watching the tail surfaces as they move... and you can see some high frequency vibration in the fabric on the stab, and the stab itself from all of the intense turbulent flow and vibrations. One of the pix below I took while he was performing that same element at OSH10.

 I checked the Viper Airshows schedule and I don't see Jason listed for OSH11, so I'm not sure what's up with that. I'm trying to get some details to see if that's really the case. Regardless, he's listed at several other shows this summer and I highly recommend you check his show out if you can. It's hot, hot stuff!
