Well, it is the off-season, and it’s not like I’ve got lots of upcoming or imminent or recently past shows to babble on about, so I’ll have to settle for sharing cool content I’ve found. This video comes to us courtesy of AirShowBuzz, where pilot Rob Holland happens to be a member and regular visitor, along with many other big names like “Max” Moga of the F-22 Raptor demo team, and lots of other current and past performers. In this video, Rob slapped a helmet cam on and recorded his entire demo from start to finish, and tossed in some good music to kick it up a notch- as if Rob’s aerobatics needed to be kicked up any more.

I got to see Rob for the first time at Oceana 2007. I knew of him from the ASB community, and had seen a couple of videos of his performance in his new MX2 aircraft. Well, as some of you might know, watching aerobatics in a video rarely gets you anything like the effect of seeing it in person, and this was no exception. Rob put on a dynamic and absolutely astounding performance. He did things with the MX2 that I’ve not seen any other airplane do. All in all, he’s a first-class performer, and having interacted with him at ASB, I can say that he’s a first-class individual as well.

So, without further ado, let’s get to the video.
