Aerobatics in a Cessna!

#aerobatics #aerobat #cessna

This was a flight I’ve been waiting to do my whole life; an aerobatic ride in a 1975 Cessna 150 Aerobat!

These planes are becoming rare, and a chance to do some aerobatics in one was an opportunity of a lifetime. It almost felt wrong to do loops and rolls in a 150…

CUB CHECKOUT FLIGHT

MY BEAUTIFUL COPILOT

Couple points: I’ve been saying Cessna wrong my whole life and now thanks to my viewers I am fully aware of that haha. (My parents both speak Spanish so I guess I learned inaccurate pronunciations of a few words)

Also this was not a training flight, I was only along for the ride. The PIC is a great CFI and when it came to the aerobatics he was in control 100% of the time.

Thanks everyone for watching!

I wanted to buy a plane, but my wife ceznah...

Imagine hearing a plane flying over, looking up and seeing a Cessna 150 doing a loop 😂

That's one great instructor. Makes me miss rolling the old Aerobat I used to fly. I need to get some more aerobatics training!

Wow, NOW THAT brings back memories. When I was about 16, I rode a pushbike to my nearest airport 20 kms from home (in Hamilton, New Zealand) to watch the planes - as you do. A guy was preflighting a Cessna 150 Aerobat. We chatted, and he said you want to come flying (this is back in 1982). I said YES! And then he told me we would do some I did not know what to expect was but ok with it - I was going flying! Off we went - unfortunately I don't remember too much except the aerobatics. 3 rolls, 3 lops and a 3.5 rotation spin. We then landed at his farmer friends property - up a hillside grass runway. Had a chat and a rest and returned to the airport One of the best days of my life. I wasn't sick, but as the farmer pointed out - I was green ;-) I don't remember any of the pushbike ride home - I was buzzing with excitement to tell everyone what I had done. Today as you can see from my youtube channel - I fly trikes in Australia. Aviation fulfillment!
And - Thank you for your video!

A 172 aerobat would've been incredible. Much love for the 150 Aero, such a sweetheart.

I once gave a friend of mine an instrument currency eval in an Aerobat. Under the hood, I gave him an unusual attitude recovery that was pretty much a barrel roll! Fun!

Nice video! I learned aerobatics in a Super Decathlon, then I bought an Extra when I moved up to Advanced and Unlimited, but there's something so fun about flying a 152 Aerobat. It's a simple pleasure to just go up and mess around in a plane you think can't do what you're making it do. Thanks for sharing this video. It brought back happy memories.

You're saying Cessna like Stewie Griffin says CoolWhip.

As an owner of Cessna 150 many years ago, most of my practice time was spent trying to not do aerobatics! If I remember correctly, the Aerobat door hinges had removable inside pins to release the doors in flight to allow easier use of parachutes.

C150 Aerobat - I trained in one 30 years ago here in Canberra Australia, VH-TCO; was even the same colour as this one.

Never flown in an aerobat before, it looks like a great little plane. Also very professional pilot at the controls

[otiebrown]

I did it!
Enjoyable!
Only way you are a competent pilot.
Saved my life!
Thank you!

I can't help but think how many new pilots would still be with us if basic acrobatics was part of a private pilots license. Where a young pilot recognizes a pending stall or spin and recognizes and safely maneuvers avoiding the situation. Or simply how much more confidence a low time pilots has in a fuller range of flying instead of getting into a dangerous situation without either recognizing or knowing how to safely recover.

I LOVE this plane :D We had quite the adventure together! Thanks for sharing!! :D

[Matt-mosl]

Looks like a whole lotta fun !! The 150 Aero is a great little plane to toss around!

[andrewwalker]

I have been looking for a good video of the aerobat for found it! Thank you!

[ObscureBirdman]

I've been lucky enough to grow up in an aviation family and I've flown and flown in many aircraft and nothing beats doing aerobatics, it's amazing 🙌🏻

[hiawahtaoakes]

Really nice flying. A small suggestion, when reaching the top of the loop, releasing a bite of back pressure allows the aircraft to fly an almost perfect circle.
