Pilot Rich Goodwin performs the world first knife-edge aerobatics between hot air balloons at Gloucestershire airport. Rich Goodwin flew between the two hot air balloons, which were tethered at about 100ft. October 10 2016. See SWNS story SWSTUNT; In a world-first, a specially modified Pitts Special S2S stunt plane will attempt to fly at 90 degrees to horizontal just a few feet above the ground between two closely tethered hot air balloons, cutting a ribbon tied between the two balloons. Performing what is known as a 'knife-edge' manoeuvre between hot air balloons has never been attempted before and will require a high degree of skill, trust and teamwork from the three pilots involved. After the first flight pass has been successfully completed, the balloons will be untethered and Rich Goodwin, the Anana Pitts Special pilot, will attempt the same exacting manoeuvre again, this time at between 1,000 and 2,000 feet with theballoons flying free. Finally, the plane will carry out vertical and horizontal Aerobatics around the Anana balloon, which will be piloted by Clive Bailey. Richard will experience up to six times the force of gravity whilst flying the Anana Pitts Special at speeds of up to 200 mph.

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
