skybill 18 #3 July 19, 2009 QuoteForgive the newbie and way-missing-the-focus-of-the-video question, but what kind of plane is that in the video? Hi Newbie, If the plane is the same as the flicker photos, the "Wilga" it's a wilga. That's a Polish STOL capable light plane. There used to be one at Old Elsinore at the Glider port as a Glider tug. They're about as ugly as an A-10 but they fly fine. Funny with Europlanes, just as eruros drive on "the other side of the street," the props turn clockwise as opposed to our counter-clockwise!!SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tumbler 0 #13 July 22, 2009 There may be nothing sexier in the world than women jumping out of a plane almost naked. I dont care one bit that they are not very good RW flyers.... it would be my pleasure to work with each one on their skills!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkfairy 0 #17 July 22, 2009 Sweet!Those are gutsy girls, and flying without a jumpsuit is really hard, I've tried it, it feels like you've been covered with oil, everything is slippery. Don't critiize their flying skills if you haven't done a jump sans suit. And topped with that girly landing in the end, awesome! Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wonko 0 #19 July 22, 2009 A/C is Britten Norman BN2A Islander. It takes 9 jumpers to 11000ft. http://www.flickr.com/photos/skybound/3721648336/sizes/o/ Occasionally, we jump from other planes, but F22 is still on to-do list ;-) And yes, flying one's body without a jumpsuit is kinda demanding.villem life is what you make it to be http://www.youtube.com/villu357 http://www.flickr.com/photos/skybound Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
