One of the world's top aerobatic pilots, Patty's incredibly dynamic and disorienting (for the majority of us ground-based mortals) performances have become a much-anticipated highlight of many an airshow. This Aerocature™, 'A Cut Above the Rest,' shows her incredible inverted ribbon cut, accentuated by her trademark negative-G hair, and appropriate reactions from her 'pole crew.'"

  • 2/2/03: It is difficult for us to grasp or appreciate what has happened in the wake of the Columbia tragedy. To say simply that the seven astronauts were brave really misses the more important truth. They were thoroughly committed to the concept, the value, and the excitement of their mission. Our world is diminished each time remarkable people such as these are taken from us. Once more we are unequivocally reminded of the risks that go with trying to achieve our ambitions and how our mortality makes these quests even more precious. May God speed the souls of the Columbia Seven.

    --Hank Caruso
