br" gi 2p AY Aerobatic leam practices over Scugog Jarm "They're the best areoba- tic team in the world" Joel Aldred told the "Star" re- porter last week while wait- ing for the planes to arrive to run through a practice. Mr. Aldred was speaking about the Carling Aerobatic team which it has just re- cently sponsored. The team, all former mili- tary pilots, was first formed last December by. Manx Kelly of England. He got the group together and then turned over the managing to Nick Daniel and has since returned to England. Since January, they have been training in Florida, and just last month they returned and began to use the Vic Aldred farm on Scu- gog Island as a training area. } The Aldred farm is rea- sonably flat, and it marks the northern boundery of the Aerobatic Training Area as stipulated by the Dept. of Transport. Joel Aldred said that Car- lings own five planes which are known as Pitts Biplanes and are made in Wyoming. So far this year they have over 90 booked, including one to be held later in the year at Greenbank.

When the. planes arrived they ran through their rou- tine twice, with a couple extra practices on a new stunt they are trying. "Nick Daniel, team mana- ger, and also the pilot of the fifth plane said. that the speed of the planes range between 60 and 190 MPH when they are, performing. During one stunt two planes fly directly at each other at about 125 MPH narrowly missing by 20'. As they pass, one plane 'rolls out," giving the effect that the two planes have collided. "That one takes the wind out of a lot of people" Mr. Daniel said. i The team will be prac- ticing periodically for the next two weeks over the Aldred farm and then in May will begin performing for the engagements they have booked.
