First off hard core aerobatic types of manuevers might suggest that the Arion guys approve of their aircraft being aerobatic, which isn't the case. Also on film the make your head spin kind of manuevers don't look as good as more graceful and gradual manuevers. With that in mind here's what I propose. A shot air to air in close formation with the plane being filmed peeling off and banking away A shot where the camera plane is flying in close and slides underneath from right to left under the tail underside of the plane being filmed A shot where in formation and the plane being filmed pulls up and gains maybe 2-300 feet and rolls past the 90 and back down through the film aircrafts altitude on the other side A shot where the filmer is close behind the plane being filmed and following it through a smooth and coordinated 360 degree steep turn in each direction. A shot from the air of the two planes doing a formation takeoff A shot from the air of the two doing a formation low alt, high speed pass A shot from the ground of the two planes doing a gradual and slightly banked turn in formation from left to right down low. (kind of like a formation photo pass at airshows) A shot from the ground of the two planes doing a formation low altitude high speed pass with a max performance climb up to about 1000k after that. (perhaps the lead plane climbs out and at the same time the chase banks and turns to make a downwind, while lead stays on runway heading) Just a few things that I thought of that would look good. Also got an idea for the music to be set to. I'll show Buz when he's down.

Some air to air and unique angles.

Jim, I am putting a Gretz Aero tube on my Lightning; it draws less amperage than the standard heated tube. The 20-amp alternator is a real limiting factor for installing much equipment; the Gretz is available directly from www.gretzaero.com or from Aircraft Spruce. Linda Mathias From: pequeajim Subject: Lightning-List: WHat heated pitot tube are you guys using? I was wondering when equipping a Lightning for IFR, which brand/model heated pitot tube is typically installed? Are there any issues with the wing already being closed?

Depending on how much maneuvering they want on the video (I agree with your aerobatic thoughts) I would add some lazy eights and chandells. We would follow in trail to get the shot of him going up, banking through the horizon, and then down again. Depending on how steep he would want to climb or how steep he would want to bank, I think I would look good. I have done lots of there going vertical in pitch and 90 degrees in bank - not quite a hammer head, but more like a lazy eight to the max. The thing we would have to decide on is how far back in trail we would need to be to get the full effect of the Lightning maneuvering. You probably have a zoom on your camera. It all sounds like good fun to me. Linda sent a message today that there was a problem with their FAA paperwork, so the inspection will not be this week. I will delay my trip out there until they are ready. Probably will slip things a week or so.
