Possibly the worlds largest BirdMan suit

Recommended Posts

Finally got a photo for you all of my new Skyflyer3. Thought the mockup of the King Air door might do a good job of illustrating the enormity of my new pride and joy. CCQ, the (gentleman on the right) has asked that I let you all know that at 6'2" and 220 lbs. he's no leprechaun. GirlFallDown (the lovely lady on the left) was my first BirdMan rodeo cowgirl. Hope you enjoy the photo and maybe we'll get a chance to flock together in the future.

LazyFrog: No idea. Haven't gotten around to measuring it.

Joboulay: You are tall and don't let anyone tell you different. No fighter escort yet. But I'm still keeping hope.

Kevin922: I'm keeping a list of all you guys that use that damn material joke. Be wary of all passing shaddows. Hope you little folks out there are requesting your discounts.

You know it's damn funny you mention that. Boeing is one of the company I work for's biggest competitors in defense aviation. Maybe I can get a sponsorship out of this?



Who do you work for? I work at Lockheed Martin in Orlando...

And exactly how tall are you just out of curiosity?

At 5' 8", I'm not saying a damn thing about you. Has anyone seen the movie Beastmaster when the "things" wrapped their wings around the people and they turned into mush!!!?? That is you dude. Flock on!!!

Nice Suit !! Damn you are fucking tall. This may just be from the angle the picture was shot but it appears (to me anyways) that your arms are swept back a lot further than my S3 is. I am not sure what affect this may have on flight but I just thought I would bring up the observation. I am attaching some pic’s of my suit for reference. Not that it would matter but I am 6’3” and 215 LBS.

The111: Northrop Grumman

Crawford: Damn straight. So there will be no more jokes about paying for extra material or else!

Talonsky: Yeah my arms were probably back a bit. I do try to keep them forward in flight but after a few jumps the tend to get tired and often end up retracted a bit behind me.

LazyFrog: I'm 6'9" The BirdMan company has been pretty cool with me. No significant complaints. In fact Kudos on an excellent product.

Sorry if I don't respond for a bit.

Tallguy, I'm the "not saying a damn thing" guy, remember? Ha Ha... No jokes from me. Anyone that can reach the door on the herc when open gets no jeering from me. I know where I stand!!! HA HA Or should I say, I know where I fly?! Ok, that was stupid, sorry!

Bomb diggety there Tallguy! I was hoping that you would go with the yellow tho...would have been sweet to get "Bigbird" and all the little chickies on a photoshoot. *sigh*

My new suit should be here in the next few weeks. I can hardly wait!:)BB

Sorry. Yellow is just not one of my colors. Sure the Big Bird jokes are funny for a while. But there was no way I was going to let that stick with me forever


I am afraid that you have been dubbed so by the illustrious SkymonkeyOne. I tried to convince him otherwise, but he would not hear of it.
It is your destiny....you can not escape it. ;)
