Arrived at Fukushima Skypark. The weather can see the clouds in some places, but it clears away from heavy rain the previous day and it is sunny.


You can see the appearance of the plane on the runway. Apparently I can fly today.


Cross the parking lot and head towards the hangar.


Clock maker "Breitling"I plan to have Mr. Muroya experience the flight with the color" Extra 300 L ".



In the following article, it explains in detail in what kind of airplane the double seat type aero batik machine "Extra 300 L" is.

The time is at noon. In preparation for the flight, Mechanic carefully checks the aircraft.


To the left main wing, a rod was installed to confirm the posture.


However, the weather of the mountain changes easily. Sometimes sunny days may be peeped on this day, suddenly the wind becomes strong, heavy rain falls, the condition changes quickly. All scheduled flight flight was canceled in the morning. Simulated flight by Muroya was performed using a moment when rain and wind ceased.

While the rain has risen, simulated flight has started in a bad condition that the wind becomes strong even during the warm-up work of the engine.


The state of simulated flight by Muroya is like this.

Simulated flight in a situation where it is difficult to take off and landing with strong winds. The flight ended at the place where heavy rain started.


Even at about 3 pm it will not stop raining. Although the possibility of suspension of flight flight increases, I tried to try on the parachute first so as not to miss the opportunity to fly. The parachute fixes nylon strings crossed in front of the body.


The back is like this.


A certain tension is applied to the wire extending from the left chest.



In case of emergency escape, a parachute jumps out by pulling the handle of the metal on the left chest in a downward direction.


Whether or not you can fly, Muroya who is the captain will wait for judgment.


Mr. Muroya's decision made at 3:45 p.m. said that "If the weather recovers on condition that it can ride on a test ride, even if it decides to be able to fly, depending on the weather, it may be canceled immediately". As a result of janken playing among the flight-seeking persons, the victory wonderfully. I got the first place, I decided to get on the cockpit and wait.


Get on the double seat front seat.


Was it possible for prayer to pass through, sunny from the sky. Muroya 's "GO" sign has come out.


Then, after 4 pm, a flight was started.

The impression that I tried riding is a word of "yabai". The scenery which is unfolded in front of the eyes while withstanding the G coming from an angle which can not come from various ways around various spirit such as beautiful, scary, fun, etc. was a masterpiece. Especially, G that comes in the vertical direction instead of the horizontal direction is a sense of a different dimension which has never experienced in daily life. The sharpness of rotation should be transmitted from the shock that the angle of GoPro attached to the horizontal stabilizer changes. Finally, a virtual pylon was taken into account, and a riding flight was finished as a result of showing a vertical turret from passing through the chicane of the air race. When I asked Muroya at income "What was G out?", I got an answer saying "7G is kinda good".

It became an experienced ride flight experimenting to the extent that the different dimension of the air race competing in the extreme state of 10 G limit and the blown condition of the air race / pilot were bad.


Mr. Muroya who is the only air race pilot of Asians also participates "Red Bull Air Race Chiba 2016", qualifying on Saturday, June 4, 2016, the final against Chiba on Sunday, June 5 It will be held at the prefectural Makuhari seaside park.
