This is a Video of my uncle Gary Ward in a MX2 Stunt plane he helped design.  He's a Aerospace Engineer and has been flying planes since age 16; he's now 66 years old.  The plane has a 540ci. flat 6 engine with 350+ HP.

Here's a quick video:

The plane he's flying in the video isn't his.  To see his, check out his web page:

^ He's never out of controle though, and that's why he gets payed to fly airshows all over the world.  Everything in the video is intentional, and they are all named tricks.  Some of them are harder to get started than get out of, like the inverted flat spin.  A fried of ours was killed attempting one.

Absolutely beautiful to watch. Seems like hes runnin kinda rich tho, ya know what I mean?

It's a pressureized oil injection into the exhaust for visual effect only.  He made the pressureized one because the regular one would skip and sputter under G forces.  He pulls 10+!
