This is a place for me to throw some recent pictures without emailing them to everyone and tell you just a few words about me: my name is Arnaud and I give basic and advanced flight instruction at the Palo Alto Flying Club, located (guess where?) at Palo Alto airport, CA. I also give Spin, Emergency Maneuver, and Aerobatic training because: it's a lot of fun... ;-) and also because I think it is important to show students what lies beyond 30-degrees pitch and 60-degrees bank (see Why do aerobatics). I give instruction mostly on the weekends, but am also available some evenings during the week.

Pictures on this page are always subject to change! Don't expect them to be here forever...

Below are some of my students who look very stressed before an aerobatic flight:

not for too long though...

Martin (aka 'Mad Mart') and Roland during what appears like a painful flight maneuver ;-)
