About twenty years ago, my dad took me to see an airshow at a model aircraft club called Jomac.
At some point, all of the models were grounded to make way for a display by a Zlin 50 who did the most awesome low level INVERTED fly by. The tail was about a meter off the ground, and the power from the engine and prop could be felt your chest as it went by. They had a radio, and had the pilot talking the spectators through his sequence. At a meter off the ground inverted, this guy was so relaxed, it sounded like he did it everyday.
Anyone know who the pilot could have been?

Wow, that brings back good memories, I remember the display, I was a VERY active member of Jomac from around 1986 to around 1996, had lots of good times there! We often had full-size visitors, some even landing!
