To sat that there are some very skilful aerobatic pilots in the world today would be an understatement.
Such pilots are in every way like athletes; they need to be physically fit, mentally agile, and emotionally balanced in order to give their best performance. Unlike athletes though they also need to have an intimate knowledge of the machine in which they perform. Like Formula 1 drivers they have to know how to obtain the best performance from the chosen vehicle without flying outside of the envelope.
Watching world class aerobatics is a joy. Here's a clip of Vicky Benzing giving it her all.
And you get to listen to Bob Seger at the same time.
