ERMA -- Pilot Greg Stringer, of Egg Harbor Township, doesn't get a chance to do rolls or spins when he is in the captain's seat of a Spirit Airlines jet, but in his spare time in his own aerobatic plane, a Bucker Jungmann, he flies through the wild blue yonder in fearless maneuvers.
Stringer was taking part in the 2008 Wildwoods Acroblast, billed as an “aerobatic competition and boardwalk fun,” June 27-29 at the county airport.

His German-designed biplane was built in Spain in 1952 and is painted bright yellow in Swiss training colors.
