CanuckInUSA 0 #2 January 15, 2003 I normally don't think Skyvans are very good looking airplanes, but this bird is just downright gorgeous. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unutsch 0 #3 January 15, 2003 hmmmmm yeah... this skyvan (well, maybe not exactly this one, but it was a Pink SkyVan) brings up some really nice memories... not only did i make my first real 2 way jump out of it, but i also gave my first freefall kiss to the girl i was jumping with... yes, yes... those were the days... just too bad the price for a jump at a Pink Boogie is SOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo damn high...

sinker 0 #5 January 15, 2003 Those are just awesome! Reminds me of seeing Orly King climb up on the T-tail of that king air a long time ago. -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe he and the pilot were turned in for that one. It's always a good Idea to cover the N numbers My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

fudd 0 #7 January 15, 2003 whoaah... The one with everyone on the top looks cool. A little dangerous, but I guess it's fine as long as they don't hit the tail while exiting. The guy climbing out in front of the nose looks stupid. ( I hope these were well trained stuntmen that knew what they were doing) It's amazing he didn't end up in the propellar. Look at his exit, must have been a near miss. I'm no expert on these kind of things, but do anybody disagree with me when I say I think it was a stupid stunt to pull?!? There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ojf1982 0 #9 January 15, 2003 It looks like they turned off the right engine so it wouldnt hit him as soon as he let go.The edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who know where it is are those that have gone over - Hunter S.

Well he crawled out on the right hand side of the centerline (ditching hatch above co-pilot seat), the r/h enginew is feathered and he never got anywhere close to the left hand side... when he let go he actually felly pretty much straight down away from the a/c missing the nose wheel by quite a distance so to either hit the engine/strut/stubwing you must be pretty far back when you fall off (the whole thing was done at some 75-80Kts).

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites pinkskyvan 0 #21 August 9, 2003 The guy on top of the nose is Wuzi Wagner, son of Thomas Lewetz who is the owner an was flying the PINK for this stunt. They are well trained and they do stuff only if they are very sure, that it works. For well trained people it is not a very big deal. We do "roof" jumps from the Pink all the time. Even with "normal" skydivers. If you know what you are doing and how to do it safe, it is not very dangerous. And isn't skydiving all about knowing what you are doing and limiting the danger to a minimum? By the way... if you want to do a roof jump, join the Pink in Skydive PINK Klatovy.
