Description

"You can't expect perfection, but you can strive for precision, and I think they are two different things."


If airshow flying is the flashy rockstar of aviation, competition aerobatics is the soloist in the orchestra. One is all about the show and the spectacle from the perspective of a crowd, where the other is a highly precise and practiced performance striving for perfection. 


I sit down with Mark Cunningham and Christian Baxter at Boundary Bay airport to discuss all things aerobatics…and competition aerobatics in particular. As we’ll hear, competition is much different from airshow flying and if you’re someone who seeks a mission every time you go flying, or you just want to hone your stick and rudder skills, aerobatics could be the ticket for you.
