    Is this an air commander ? I think I've seen one at the Abbotsford airshow to
    demonstrate its extreme capabilities .

    I might be mistaken, but that airplane is green and white...
    The video is old, probably from the late 60's since the Commander he's flying isn't a Shrike.
    I got to see him in Reno right before his run in with the FAA. The green and white (Evergreen) bird is hanging in the Smithsonian.

    Yep... but he couldn't get insurance anymore and had to quit performing ...
    Where the FAA couldn't, the bean counters succeeded. :yuk:
