How about a Starduster?

 8) 8)


One of my professors here, Gulf you might know who im talking about, ust to fly star dusters.  From the stories he told us, they seem to be the most amazing planes in world.  Capable of like +11g and -5 or so with all the mods he and his stunt crew ran.  That guy is a genius too.  Has a PhD in like astrophysics and flies on the weekend for Pepsi in their new gulf stream.

Well the Knight Twister is one of my favorite looking biplanes (the cockpit shot is from one).  But only a single seat and Budd Davison tells me they're tiny, even compared to a pitts S-1.   :o

Ahhh... I have loved the Knight Twister ever since I saw one at Grimes Field back in 1950 or so.  Don't see many though.

Tom Zedlick ( I think thats how you spell his last name).  I had him for 102, and he teaches 220/221 as well as aerodynamics and advanced aerodynamics, and also a couple of other really crazy classes to.  Probably one of the funniest guys i know, however also one the biggest pains in your rear end to.

I think he started just as I was leaving.  I had Trapnell for my aerodynamics courses.
