Now YOU can FLY the Legends WITH a Legend!

The Legends! North American AT-6 "Texan" and Bud Granley

It's not every day you can FLY a Legendary Aircraft with a Certified Legendary Pilot.  Now you can!
 
Bud and Ross Granley, father and son, are great guys and two of the hottest Air Show pilots in the world today.  Both are former Royal Canadian Air Force fighter and Instructor Pilots.  Bud was demo pilot for the CF-86 and Ross flew with the  RCAF Snowbirds. 
 
Bud has been a fixture at the Reno National Air Races for many years, racing T-6's, P-51's and the Sea Fury "Furias."  He was voted the 2005 Art Scholl Showmanship Award by his peers in the International Council of Air Shows, the toughest jury in the air show world.
 
The Granley Stable of aircraft includes the Legendary North American AT-6 Texan, Russian Yak-55, Yak-18T and Fouga Magister jet.  All are flown in their Air Shows, plus Bud and Ross perform a spectacular Dual Show flying the Yak-55 and Yak-18T together!  The Yak-55 is a purpose-built, single-seat aerobatic airplane and the Yak-18T is a FOUR-place aerobatic touring airplane.  Together, this unlikely combination makes a spectacular show--smoke, noise and an unbelievable set of maneuvers you won't see any where else!  Snap Rolls on Takeoff, Formation Roll-Arounds, Tail Slides, Inverted Hovers (!), 32-Point Rolls, the "Head-On Takeoff Criss-Cross-Snapski," the "Budinski" and "Budoutski," "Ratchet Wrench Roll," "Flopping Taco," "Budouchski," Humpty Bump and many more!

The fine print: 
 
You know, I do the best I can to get all the stuff on this site down properly, the way it's supposed to be so I keep myself and my friends and family out of trouble, but you know what?  Sometimes the earth shifts in its orbit around the sun or my wife yells at me or I stay out too late or a dog bites me or the north pole moves or Alzheimer's takes over or I have deliriums of deranged insight or something totally unexpected happens that screws things up--nothing intentional, you understand, but sometimes... So, though to the best of my knowledge everyhting you read here is correct and reliable, be smart, don't take my word for it, do your own thorough investigation.  Everybody's entitled to their own opinion.  Suppliers change their prices, availability varies, boats from China get the slows etc.  Maybe I'm just another raving maniac blathering idiot like your brother-in-law.  Read the fine print--even if its published by the FAA-- check the logs, get a title report, get a pre-purchase inspection done by a mechanic you know and trust, check NTSB records for accident reports etc.  Use an escrow company.  Because Everything you see here is only my opinion, is AS IS, WHERE IS with no guarantees or warrantees of any kind whatsoever, expressed or implied, not usually, but sometimes depending on what "is" is.  What you sees "is" probably what you gets, though one never knows, do one?  Do your homework, then decide. Yes, an attorney advised me to put this statement here to protect me from who knows what kinda legal baloney I could get tangled up in otherwise.  Life in the fast lane ain't always what its cracked up to be.  Etc etc etc.  Sheesh! This is disgusting stuff!  Better go flyin' and get my mind right...
