If either Melissa or Diana G go for the top competitions, their paths will eventually cross Svetlana Kapanina's, probably in Europe. What a battle in the sky that'll be too: a pair of twenty somethings vs the early 40's Svetlana who has 7 world champion wins under her belt. I have loved Svetlana for over a decade and she truly is a phenomenon- just watch her videos; she rarely seems to be stressed by the G forces she is putting herself through. Grace, talent, and beauty in a difficult sport.
Melissa: I t was great seeing you & talking with you & your husband some years back here in Reno at the Air Races....As I told you then, You are one of the best pilots I have ever seen...Still trying to get you back to preform for us all again! You Both stay safe and hope to see you both in the near future!
Bush flying is aircraft operations carried out in remote, inhospitable regions of the world. Bush flying involves operations in rough terrain where there are often no prepared landing strips or runways, frequently necessitating that bush planes be equipped with abnormally large tires, floats or skis.
I had the honour of beholding this brilliant girl in action in an air-show close to my hometown (in Spain) last weekend, and I was amazed at how well she did perform (even more taking into account her young age); at the level of the best (male) pilots in the world. Besides her, in that air-show I also had the chance of admiring another ace from the world of aerobatics: Ramon Alonso (aerobatics world champion in 2007). My most sincere congratulations, Melissa. Keep it up!
Nice!!!!! Its great to have also young women in the show bussines. I had the oportunity to meet Patty Wagstaf 10 years ago at the EAA Convention, she es one of my favorite pilots along with Sean D. Tuker. Greetings form Mexico!!!
She said doing airshows, not competitions. For a fee you get to watch the aerobatics, the airplanes, the pilots, etc. Local modellers are invited and show their models. Ultralight pilots, paragliders, whatever is available in the area. Its like a circus, but "open air". Ive only been in one and it was great. Children love it too. Its good.
Melissa don`t let the haters get under your skin. You wouldn`t be where your at without a lot of hard work. The folks here talking about $ should be ashamed, It takes a lot of Moxey to fly the way Melissa does and that should be respected. No one should be ashamed of themselves if they come from wealth or lessor means. What matters most is that they make something of themself. Melissa your awesome, fly it like you stole it, but please be careful I`d like to see your show someday.Go Steelers!
@CFITOMAHAWK I find your comment a bit simplistic. "The bad is out" There have been many amazing pilot's that have died doing airshows, some are indeed legends, to say they were bad is really ignorance.
I know plenty of Whuffo men that would never jump from an airplane. So she has done what most men wouldn't do! Besides who can say I fly an Edge 540 aerobatics for a living!
I'm sorry to say, but passion and love for a dream to come true didn't make my dream come true. And now I have to sit here and watch this that just hurts me. If this awesomely cute girl could do this, how come I couldn't? That's what hurts me =(
On the ground there - she seemed to be going through the motions of her flight just like that top female Russian pilot Svetlana Kampuche or whatever her name is. Both incredible females - best of luck to them!!
Svetlana is probably the best aerobatic pilot of all times. She was world champion at 22yrs.old. and has won the title many times. Our own crowd pleaser Patty Wagstaff has been the national champ and a test pilot, airline pilot, flew slurry bombers on the big fires in CA. I have seen many pilots over the years doing the same routine. Even a few gymnast and divers. It now only takes guts but brains to fly like that. Look forward to seeing you at the world championships someday Melissa.
retracts add weight. these airplanes are only about 1800lbs and the mechanism and hydraulics for retracts would spoil the performance. think of these as race cars of the sky. stripped down for best performance
Outstanding! 300HP and inverted fuel/oil system. Typically, women can pull more Gs than men. Being smaller is what does it. Aeros and formation is like being a demi God, able to frolick in the sunshine, while far below the rest trudge along in the rain. Your ass aches and so does your sinuses, but well worth it. CAVU skies to Melissa. My highest compliment - "Change nothing!"
But....... your not from Cali.... your from Pittsburgh. ....Wexford actually....don`t turn your back on us. We love you, and want to support you. Please don`t forget us. I will forgive you if you do a show at BVI. You can crash at our house if you want.

Love her airshow routine, but so much more respect for her ability as a competition pilot.
Wishing you all the best. What a amazing young woman.

Wow! What a woman.. absolutely stunning!

Well Done Melissa on your flying keep it up.....

Wow! Intelligent, articulate, creative, courageous, and drop dead gorgeous!
I would love to see her and Diana Gomez de Silva on the Red Bull Aerobatic circuit
Shes amazing, beautiful flight.
I watched her flying today... expectacular
Interesting ! Flying looks like a lot of fun .
Mis respetos a ud. Por su valentia.
what a nice flying..
Salute to this female pilot!!
Wow. She is really awesome!
hey, I saw her last year at the Sanicole airshow she mensionned int the vid!.
great performance!
"Do the best that we can do." Poetic words.
Hey, she's skilled and I think it's great to see more women in aviation. Honestly. Keep up the great work!
So cool flying.
If you don't have a sponsor you need a big cheque book - I flew some old crates in my time and these machines don't come cheap!
Mic
Amazing pilot!!
"Bush flying involves operations in rough terrain where there are often no prepared landing strips or runways" EXACTLY

We all are..
Hello Melissa, you are doing a great job. I have respect for women wanna doing the things they do no matter how or what!
amazing talent
cool
Wow. Would be so cool to fly with Melissa some time.
Where does this take place, in Babealonia?
I'm sorry to say, but passion and love for a dream to come true didn't make my dream come true. And now I have to sit here and watch this that just hurts me. If this awesomely cute girl could do this, how come I couldn't? That's what hurts me =(
Melissa penbreton la reina de las acrovasias
Amazing!! Inspiring lady that.
I admire here flying dance...wonderful
Nice flying Melissa! Keep it up!
Hey AirsportsTV... that's an Extra 300 she's flying... NOT an Edge 540.
Mick, how old are you? Sears has NOT had a CATALOG in 20+ years?
Sensacional GÊNIO, uhu sem palavras é de tirar o folego!! PARABÉNS
she is soo badass
This is so inspiring, even for a male pilot. Tailwinds!
On the ground there - she seemed to be going through the motions of her flight just like that top female Russian pilot Svetlana Kampuche or whatever her name is. Both incredible females - best of luck to them!!

she said in the video that she was happy to be in the middle of the pack considering she is the only person without 'own' plane.
Awesome young lady...
I met her once. Just a sweet and wonderful person.
"The right place, at the right time..." and the right parents willing to finance something like this.
@AirsportsTV 27
Just beautyful.
why don't these planes have retractable gear?
....seems it would make for smoother flying and more control...
retracts add weight. these airplanes are only about 1800lbs and the mechanism and hydraulics for retracts would spoil the performance. think of these as race cars of the sky. stripped down for best performance
i dont wanna bust anyones bubble but in the netherlands you can do this when you're 16
I am in fucking love i mean absolutely in love. Id be even more in love if she flew helis
Great role model.
my grand-mother is a pilot … she took me with her as a little girl … I am very fortunate :- ) Indeed ! Yes, thank you grand’ma !
Imagine your commercial airline pilot rehearsing like that in the terminal.
beautiful, please always remember to "stay ahead of the airplane" and be safe...
I lost my medical, good luck
Oh my god, what a sweet cute girl!
So cool my dream to be an aerobics pilot and I am only eleven years old and am a girl
I met her personaly she is awsome.
you are awesome, I watch your video s over and over
I'm from Cali. In the United States.
Ha ha I would just fucking die to taste it.
Great job, Melissa!! What an amazing woman! (And gorgeous to boot!)
Airgasm !
Interesting inverted work.
awesome
Best Zissou EVER!
you need a glass of water (and our ears too...)
Nice work
u r truly great
Melissa will be the next Patty, up and coming star! Those Russian gals better watch out! 😎
And she flys an Extra! How cool is that!
Bravo ... well done.
She reminded of Svetlana flys airplane
"The plane doesn't know if you are a female" -Pattie Wagstaff
Rip
I see no resemblance to Sarah Palin at all, whatsoever.
Amazing Pilot. And Amazing Yong lady.
Yup, she's a babe all right.
the front edge of that plane is straight therefore its a 540
thats an extra
2:18
Lawrence Stretton
Skilled,& beautiful.
I wish I could fly like that. I just dont have the airplane for it.
What is H/C? What is WAC? It is best to assume the viewer doesn't have an insider's knowledge.

Fly me to the moon....
THE CLOUDS HAVE RISEN
I'd hate to be in a dog fight with her, she would wax my tail...she's good!
So cute, I wanna get to know her
She is beautiful and very good - but she is no Svetlana ;)
