Bob Hoover in a Cleanex?

Well not "not exactly" ...


It's John Carroll in his Corvair powered airplane that I believe was originally built by Danny Cash. Watch him doing his version of the Bob Hoover water trick:

Enjoy the ride!

I'm with ya on that! Sometimes I can get that kinda thing happening from just trying to take a drink from a bottle of water when it's bumpy!

Of course when I get high enough and find some really smooth air I've been able eat breakfast or lunch on a long cross country leg. I still need to install that coffee maker on the shelf in the luggage area right behind the seat ...
