The upcoming episode will feature a tandem skydive, wingsuit flocking and wind tunnel flight. To capture the show's footage, host Daniel Wilson flew as an observer on a Twin Otter, catching footage and calling play by play as wingsuiters exited over Skydive Pepperell. He later made a tandem jump. Wilson, who has a PhD in robotics, has written five books and is a columnist for Popular Mechanics magazine. Running the gamut, the new series will have episodes on garbage, beer, motorcyucles and tattoos, among aother subjects. According to the THC Web site, the show will begin airing Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. on The History Channel (Charter channel 54). In Pepperell, the crew filmed a segment about the wing-suit jumpers (aka Birdmen), and Wilson did his first skydive. Pepperell skydiver and photographer Phil Roberson shot the freefall footage, which will be used on the program. http://www.nashobapublishing.com/ci_10445906 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
