One of the cooler sights at Oshkosh 2010 was the appearance of a
unique two plane jet formation team piloted by two of the most
experienced jet jocks on the circuit. With only a few actual
airshows under their belt so far, it was hard to see any difference
between this performance and the usual high standards seen in their
other endeavors.
The MS760 Paris Jet was originally designed, manufactured, and
certified in France by aviation pioneer Morane Saulnier, the
four-seat twin-engine jet cruises at 400 mph and has a range of
1000 miles. It was first certified by the FAA on July 3rd 1958, and
was introduced by Beechcraft as the first US business jet.
To promote the MS760, a two-ship aerobatic air show team, led by
Captain Dale "Snort" Snodgrass has hit the circuit to showcase the
acrobatic and precision flight capabilities of the aircraft, which
is certified in the U.S. in the "Utility" category.
"I'm thrilled to be the lead pilot for Team MS760," said
Snodgrass. It's easy when you are given the keys to a machine that
truly opens the envelope. The MS760 is a solid four-seat IFR
Equipped aircraft with remarkable reliability and has excellent
flight capabilities," he noted.
While the Oshkosh rendition was somewhat limited due to FAA
issues with the airshow parameters, the birds still showed well...
especially the dual smoke produced by both Marbore powerplants.
Smoky, hot and definitely unique,we look forward to seeing MUCH
more of Team MS760 on the 2010-2011 airshow circuits.
