Guest #3 December 17, 2005 It's happened, and it darn near happened to me once, only I was under canopy, and not in freefall. mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speer 0 #4 December 17, 2005 Not an uncommon sight to have helos hovering just off the deck on the hillsides surrounding Skydive San Diego... an interesting sight whether in freefall or under canopy.

wildWilly 0 #5 December 17, 2005 Almost happened to me once in Fl. only I was in the helicopter on the way to altitude. Flying along then the pilot goes oh shit and banks right, as we see canopies about 1000 ft away. Pretty scary Willygrowing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.

riddler 0 #6 December 17, 2005 dude, more than once I've looked down to see a helicopter below me. My main DZ in a municipal airport with lots of traffic, including some helicopters. In the past, they've spent time hovering right over the landing area while we were jumping Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shropshire 0 #7 December 17, 2005 It may be scarey to see them below you but... above is probably even worse....... they kick down a LOT of air (enough to keep them up!!) so if your canopy is is in that air...... prey!
