Slingsby T-67
Firefly
The Slingsby T-67 Firefly is one of the leading
high performance aerobatic aircraft. Some pilots think about flying
airplanes almost every day. They make imaginary flights while driving
their car or even at their desk. And sometimes imagining can seem better
than actually flying. But never in a Firefly! It's an experience that's
almost impossible to describe. You think "turn" and you turn. You think
"roll" and you roll. Turn it over and it flies just as if it were right
side up. Even after several hundred hours, each flight is an
exhilarating, awesome experience. So if anyone ever asks you to go for a
ride, be prepared to be infected with an incurable passion. Because
there is nothing, absolutely nothing that flies like a Firefly.

de Havilland
Chipmunk
If you are lucky enough to experience aerobatics
in a Chipmunk, you will see that it does most of what the Firefly does,
but in a 1950's aircraft made of aluminium. You will feel like being a
second world war pilot dogfighting, performing all the figures and
tricks that could save your life or win you victories.
