Glider Pilot Flies Unexpected Air Show Performance - Loses License 7 Months

***Update*** Make sure to read my pinned first comment on what happened with the FAA as a result of this video. How random is this: I was showing my glider on the ramp at a large car/air show in Spanish Fork, Utah when they asked me if I could do a glider demo flight for the not? What could I do in the ASW27 that would be interesting and wouldn’t likely kill me? I do loops all the time and I have been known to do a few low passes so why not put them together and show everyone how much energy and potential a glider has with just a few thousand feet to work with! I towed to 3k’ above the ground and the video shows the rest. What a random and interesting experience! FYI - the owner’s manual for the 27 has a page specifically on how to do proper loops. My entry speed was at 115 knots indicated and I was pulling 3.5 g’s. I think I pulled them off well enough. The wings didn’t come off. While that was fun and all, I think I will be leaving the airshow stuff to the guys who know what they are doing. Last 2 things: I sure wish the helicopter ride business would have just waited so I could finish the routine without having to worry about hitting them taking off or landing while I was swooping. And yes, I saw the segmented circle and flew over it. Did you even notice it? That would have been super bad hitting its pole at 185 mph! Thanks for watching! Bruno - B4
