I went to AirVenture at Oshkosh the last week of July 2009 and I won a ride with Major John Klatt in his Air National Guard Extra 300L. Attached are pictures of John and I, in the Extra 300L. The weather was light rain and low ceilings which prevented us from doing anything wild. (Whew!) I did get to practice some rolls and he demonstrated a loop and several sweeping climbs to inverted flight.

The ride lasted 20 minutes.
