2009 Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow – Kent Pietsch’s Deadstick Routine

Kent Pietsch
Interstate Cadet

2009 Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow
Naval Air Station Pensacola
Pensacola, Florida
Friday November 13, 2009

IN THIS VIDEO, from an altitude of 6,000 feet, Kent Pietsch shuts off the engine to the Interstate Cadet and performs a deadstick aerobatic performance, with the dramatic finale being to use that energy management to place the spinner of the prop into the hand of airshow announcer Rob Reider, who is standing out on taxiway Alpha.

If you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate “version” of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation – including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take the time to check out Steve’s Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .
