Sitting in the Streak Shadow giving it full throttle reminded me of my first jet ride; the acceleration is exhilarating. |

The engineering on this aircraft is like poetry. |

Watching a semi aerobatic display by David in the Streak reminded me of the purity of flight – just like a Spitfire. |

The Shadow – David Cook’s genius of structures and aerodynamics. |

I conclude that it is the case sometimes that some people, and David is one of them, have an instinctive genius when they know something is right. |

Cook said, “I’m not much of a pilot. I just want to fly.”Those words should be written in stone. |

Front cockpit – ‘cosy’ |

What a boring aircraft! |

I am very impressed with Shadow series of aircraft, the design, systems and construction, and flight |
handling. This unusual approach to engineering has resulted in an exceptional aircraft. |

I found the Shadow to be an outstanding aircraft. When seated in the front cockpit the pilot has a feeling of quality and control. In an age of look alike aeroplanes, it is nice to find a design that is truly on the cutting edge of both engineering and technology. |

The Streak chased and zoomed through the sky faster than my Canon’s autofocus could follow. I am sorry I could not bring you the ‘shot’ of the Streak pushing up from level flight to a vertical climb, but it was just too fast for us. |
