Heatmiser 0 #3 August 6, 2010 Any idea who is hanging from the prop? Also, how did they stop the rotation to get hold of it? I know, I'm a youngster in this sport, this is prob old news to the Old Guard around here. What you say is reflective of your knowledge...HOW ya say it is reflective of your experience.

piisfish 135 #5 August 6, 2010 they cut the engine.... It was around Biel Kappelen / Switzerland. I know the pilot of the plane, and also a couple of the jumpers (one of which is our actual pilot at the DZ)scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piisfish 135 #8 August 6, 2010 and masked the plane's immatriculation... that was the biggest problem they had afterwards... BTW the person hanging only had to straddle the engine, but he slipped... Managed to hold around 4 seconds, and they got the beautiful pic.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kasch 0 #9 August 6, 2010 that is a great shot! especially if it wasn't planned to happen like thatSex with sith is like sex with a stripper.

I know the pilot of the plane, and also a couple of the jumpers (one of which is our actual pilot at the DZ) I'm surprised the pilot doesn't have more right rudder in, what with assymmetric thrust and all that weight and drag on the left side....

Master_Yoda 0 #19 August 7, 2010 Quote One of those priceless pictures that are etched into the mids of young frogs. Yup. I remember a pic in the 82d Airborne Parachute Club of a bunch of guys hanging all over both wings and the top of a what I think was a DC3. It kinda freaked me out as a student... but so did the photo of a 100 way. I thought to myself "No way in HELL!!" lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
