ryoder 1,384 #6 December 18, 2012 I picked up a clue from one of the comments below that video; Search YouTube for "Joe Horta". Apparently, he is a Polish pilot who flies a Do 28 (when dropping jumpers)."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

1969912 0 #7 December 18, 2012 Yeah, I saw that. It looks like he's got lots of experience. That landing was probably not done in the US.

davelepka 4 #8 December 18, 2012 QuoteLokks kind of dangerous Maybe. It does appear to be a DO 28, and according to Wiki it has a stall speed of 38 knots. So he can come in over those trees at 60 or 70 knots, and be weel above stall speed but not crazy fast for being the pattern. He stays high until he get's close to the field, and then carries enough speed to clear the trees and get the plane on the ground. Even if he loses an engine over the trees, he's not running any power, so he's not going to have any roll or yaw problems like you would see in a twin that loses an engine on take off (with full power). There are safer ways to land, but given the aircraft and the technique he uses, this isn't as bad as it looks. I have seen much worse in much less appropriate aircraft.

kd5xb 1 #9 December 18, 2012 Can't remember the last time I saw a turboprop-powered fighter. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
babz 0 #10 December 18, 2012 Love it when you see flybys in the Dornier, it is one hell of a jump plane. Bit of a shame they are too old to be that widespread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krip 2 #11 December 18, 2012 Quote Yeah, I saw that. It looks like he's got lots of experience. That landing was probably not done in the US. That type of descent is actually done at a lot of DZ's in the US. Ezpecially at boogies. My boss got to fly right seat as a pax in a westwind at a well known boogie and had a grin from ear to ear for a week.One Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
momo 0 #12 December 18, 2012 He is a Portuguese pilot and this landing was in Poland. During the season (april-oct) he is flying the DO28 in Germany. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
