Talk about some real fun. Your Editor had the opportunity to ride along as safety pilot with Shannon Eisenbrey as she flew in a contest for the first time. It’s a good thing the mike button wasn’t pushed as at the end of the second flight (in which Shannon absolutely nailed the spin, pulled a little soft, but made it over the top of the loop, and on to finish the sequence) the intercom erupted with "WHAT A HOOT", and other very loud exclamations. The smile on Shannon’s face will be there all week long. Shannon, it really was a HOOT!! "Z"
