CALENDAR It’s a bird, it’s a plane … actually it is a plane, a plane performing aerial acro- batics, aka aerobatics, at the Corvallis Corkscrew this weekend at the Corval- lis Municipal Airport. Aerobatics are the sort of maneuvers you might see at an airshow — flying upside down, rolls, turns, spins and tailslides — but the more than 30 pilots coming to show their stuff in Corvallis will be there to compete in precision flying. Think of aerobatics competitions as something like figure skating with competitors judged on symmetry and level of difficulty. Of course instead of gliding on ice, the pilots are zooming through the air in small planes and there’s some G-force involved. The contest takes place in a box of air 1,000 meters long by 1,000 meters wide, marked by white markers, visible from the air, and leaving the box means losing points. The show is put on by The Oregonauts, IAC 77 (International Aerobatic Club, a division of the Experimental Aircraft Association) and for more info, check out their website, iac77.com. Saturday events include a freestyle aerobatic contest with music and smoke systems. Corvallis Corkscrew runs 9am-4pm Friday and Saturday, July 15-16, at the Corvallis Municipal Airport, 5695, SW.
