Heather Rowe recounts her wild ride in a stunt plane
By Heather Rowe - email
For stunt pilot Greg Poe, pulling 10 G's is just another day at the office.
He is the pilot of the world's only plane that runs on ethanol. The Falcon MX-2 is can reach speeds of up to 250 miles an hour and it can do just about any aerobatic maneuver you can think of.
I know from experience… Poe took me up for a once in a lifetime flight that included pulling 6 G's straight up in the sky followed by a tumble to the ground.
He is most well known for his aerial moves at air shows across the country, but where he leaves behind a real mark is with kids.
Poe started his own organization called "Elevate Your Life". He motivates teenagers to reach for their dreams. After taking them up in his plane, he proves if they can tumble in a stunt plane they can do anything.
He has already impressed that upon two teens in Tucson this week. Next he will excite the crowds at this weekend's DM air show.
