I'm usually handicapped by lack of access to the aircraft in advance of the ride to scout out mount points. Additionally, I usually arrive at the aircraft with something like 10 minutes to meet the crew chief and talk him or her into such mount placement as i can manage. Crew chiefs tend to prefer hard mount points and rigs that aren't likely to come off under G stress and hit the rider (or worse, get stuck in the PCL, under a rudder pedal, in the canopy breaker control, etc.).

Maybe a few more of these rides will get me known a little better and let me have a little more leeway. In the meantime, I'm planning to show up with multiple cameras and mounts for the next ride. Should be pretty cool.

You're going to love the T-6A. It's such a great little go-kart! What a wonderful trainer!

This flight will take place in Iraq with an Iraqi Air Force pilot. Mr. Airspeed I would suggest mounting your camera's via opposing suction mounts on tandem bars to stop twisting during maneuvers.
