USAviator magazine, January 1995: .......He is absolutely incredible; a truly phenomenal presence in the airshow biz. Very highly recommended. Stephen Coonts in his bestseller The Cannibal Queen: ......, and we were treated to the most spectacular flying exhibition I have ever witnessed. .......The silent crowd watched, mesmerized. .......His mastery of his craft was total, his exhibition a tour de force. Michael Small about Manfred's 1997 night performance at the Australian International Air Show and Aerospace Expo, held near Melbourne: .......Those minutes of absolute aerobatic and visual magic, Manfred will remain, I am sure the most memorable I have experienced at any Air Show in my life! I, like the thousands of others whom you delighted and enthralled that night, stood in silence, captivated by the spectacle of a craftsman and choreographer, giving us all an image in our minds to treasure. My son exclaimed "Wasn't that just fantastic!" Air show producer Tom Southern's letter of July 17, 2000 to Manfred: Dear Manfred, I wish that I had words to express my gratitude for your doing the Great Texas Balloon Race adequately. Your performances during the air show and at night were truly spectacular. The night show was a great way to cap off the balloon glow. The OOOOHs and AAAAAHs of the audience during the performance and the applause they gave you after the performance really showed the audience loved the performance. I have to say that the "Ultimate" is truly that. The inverted ribbon cut was a great way to end the air show and had the effect on the audience that I knew it would. I really appreciate your truly professional attitude and detailed briefings before the show. That helped all of us give you what you needed to make your performance not only successful but also safe. Feel free to use me as a reference. I'll be happy to tell any air show producer that he is crazy not to use you in his next air show. Your act is the special touch most air show producers are looking for and if they saw your act one time, they would put you in their show without question. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together during this show. I wish it had been cooler. Sincerely,T. M. Southern
