The 2016 Hapo Over The River Airshow is going to be off the hook. Aerobatic Pilot Brad Wursten stopped by this morning to let us know what to expect this weekend...Even though Brad is only 36 years old, we will see him flying in one of the most highly sophisticated airplanes in the world, the MXS-R, made by MX Aircraft.  It features a complete carbon fiber airframe that weighs an impressive 1100 lbs.  The Lycoming engine has 385 HP and can reach a top speed of over 300 MPH, a roll rate at 420 degrees per second, and “G” loading at +/- 15 “G’s”.

Did I mention I'll be flying with Brad this afternoon....Wish me luck!
