The IFPF was an honor society. It's "official function" was simply
fellowship. Most of us knew each other, and shared a common
interest.....flight safety
in the demonstration environment.

Hey, is/was Dick Schramm the guy that did that really strange airshow
performance where they pretended somebody got in the Piper and bounced it
helter skelter all over the runway?
Saw that fifteen years or so ago. That was great stuff. The entire family
next to us thought the announcer was serious.

That was the same show (Hillsboro, Rose Festival Airshow) in which the wing
walker fell off and they had to figure out how to rescue him as the plane
ran out of fuel. 80,000-100,000 people dead silent. That was surreal!
