Eric Hollingsworth – Taylorcraft L-2

The Taylorcraft L-2 is a WWII-era airplane that was used for transportation and observation purposes. It has since been modified to perform at air shows, with maneuvers that include barrel rolls, 4-point rolls, banana passes and vertical pushovers.

Eric Hollingsworth has been flying WWII aircraft for nearly two decades, and is a member of the Mississippi Wing of the Commemorative Air Force.
