Do you call the FAA when you want to do a formation load? Actually, yes we did call the FAA when doing the world record stuff. Soo......

rushmc 18 #28 August 17, 2007 Quote Quote Look here http://www.manifestmaster.com/video/ Click on the Porter Chasers link Enjoy That looked a little TOO close at a few points. I noticed they left the pilot off the credits.......... I have seen a vid with someone exiting from one aircraft and docking/landing with another in freefall. He said the closest he got was about 20'. Made for a great video"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

sundevil777 94 #29 August 17, 2007 I would think that a Porter's max allowed speed would be slower than other turbine jump aircraft, making it the least appropriate for such fun. Many years ago, a Porter at a NW DZ suffered damage (I believe to the elevator) during a dive. There were 2 pilots on that load, they considered themselves lucky to be able to pull it out.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OTOH, its high drag and beta prop range allow it to fly more slowly in unusual nose-down attitudes than other aircraft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't that because you were going into class A airspace, though?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LongWayToFall 0 #35 August 31, 2007 It has already been mentioned, but is it possible to get an FAA waver for this sort of thing? how did they pull it off legally (or not) in good stuff? Was the aircraft drouge chute a factor in the waver? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
