Spencer Suderman began his
flying career while working on his bachelor of science
degree in business at California State University
Northridge in the late 1980's. Spencer earned a private
pilot's certificate, commercial rating, instrument
rating, and then became a CFI (Certified Flight
Instructor).
While
working on his instrument rating, he went through a spin
and unusual attitude training program. This training
teaches pilots what to do in emergencies and involves
mild aerobatics. Spencer soon discovered that
aerobatics are amazingly fun and quickly lost interest
in merely flying straight and level. After attending
numerous aerobatic contests in the Super Decathlon
Spencer moved up to the high performance METEOR Pitts
which he now flies in air shows.
Spencer's
air show performance uniquely showcases the capabilities
of the METEOR Pitts Biplane with Intense gyroscopic
maneuvers that will have the crowd gasping in awe as
they watch amazing gyroscopic maneuvers such as the
Inverted Flat Spin with its signature corkscrew
smoke trail as the plane drops at a rate of 6000 feet
per minute and the incredible Double Hammerhead,
a feat so difficult that only a handful of pilots have
even attempted it in public--Spencer makes it look easy
as the Pitts spins like a pinwheel suspended in the sky!
After his
performance Spencer will meet the crowd and sign
autographs while encouraging young people to follow
their dreams and achieve success in their own endeavors.
