We weren’t sure what we were watching when we first saw this video pop up. Afterward, we weren’t sure we’d really seen what we thought we had! What a treat. The event is the ArkanSTOL get together from last week. In this video Hal Stockman, clearly a really talented pilot, does two touch AND TURN go (is that a thing?) on a grass strip in his Rans S-7 kit plane without ever once touching the tailwheel. Talk about chops.
