Aerobatics
For most people Aerobatics means the flying of single passenger planes by pilots who perform acrobatic stunts using their airplane as the means to escape earth's gravity. The attraction of aerobatics is the fear defying anitics of what appear to be normal human beings showing no hesitation in flying with man made wings and daring the powers of nature to make them crash. The prospect of dying is one of the main attractions of viewers of aerobatic performances. The escape of aerobatc pilots from the control of gravity while the audience watches with libido enthusiasm surging through their bodies as they imagine themselves as the pilot defying the restrictions of existence on earth for no other reason than to taunt the hold of gravity on man.
The myth of Icarus comes to existence in an aerobatic performance. Icarus flew too close to the sun and paid the ultimate price. The aerobatic performer can easily find the same fate if he dares too much in his highly flexible plane engineered to be his wings. There are many aerobatic performers who stage their performance in fields and must follow certain rules if performing in competition. The aerobatic field competition is an imaginary box and the aerobatic pilot while competiting will be penalized for straying out of the box. In aerobatic competition, the judges are called "Boundary Judges". The judging is conducted by boundary judges who sit at the boundaries of the imaginary box in the sky. Using special binoculars, these judges decide when a pilot has flown out of the box and penalize him.
Amateur aerobatic competitions have a prescribed order of flying feats that must be performed in the order and direction prescribed by the rules of competition. An aerobatic pilot has to follow the precise conditions of the move and will be judged according to his successful completion of each move. Staged aerobatic performances are frequently held at local fields. Amateur world aerobatic competitions are also organized and promoted by the World Aerobatic Organization. Their aim is to judge the pilot who can best refrain from losing control of his program and straying too close to the sun or, in other words, going out of bounds.
