[AT] an Iowa snowstorm

[Robert Brooks]

Gilbert;

If I remember they sort of gather speed, like a tractor rolling down hill, 
right?

The stunt plane I flew in was a biplane, looked like a small Pitts, now 
that thing would loop and snap roll... And a whole lot more that I didn't 
get to see 1st hand.

The only thing I've actually managed to roll on my own was a couple of 
cars, I also got a van to flip end over end once....
