Edra 0 #1 January 16, 2014 Hello all.. not sure if i'm in the right section but thought I would ask here in gear.. I was watching some guys swooping the other day and one of them had a chute that sounded like a formula 1 car or jet quite literally.. Does anyone know which canopy's scream like this and why ?"You'll shoot your eye out kid" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoink 321 #6 January 16, 2014 Years ago I saw a guy who had a small tube taped to his shoe with some sort of nose maker inside it... It made him sound like a Stukka dive Bomber when he was in a dive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zlew 0 #7 January 16, 2014 I've seen similar with whistles taped to helmets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris-Ottawa 0 #8 January 17, 2014 The sound was probably just the lines of the canopy cutting through the wind at high speed. Small canopy + good swooper = MUCH louder than anyone else. Was the sound different from a normal swoop, or was this the first time you've seen a swoop that sounded like this?"When once you have tasted flight..."

It made him sound like a Stukka dive Bomber when he was in a dive. As I recall, Stukas sometimes were equipped with sirens on them as well to augment the sound, for psychological effect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCB8ZVxKqyI Now I really want one, but I'd probably get too involved in pretending to divebomb the enemy airbase...err...runway and then become a real hazard rather than just an imaginary one.

Small highly loaded canopies make that sound. It's the wind in the linesExperienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.
