CanuckInUSA 0 #8 June 6, 2011 Hard to tell. It looks like the belly of the airplane is 1.0 to 1.5 meters above the deck? Balls'y that's for shizzle. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obelixtim 150 #9 June 6, 2011 Hi tech lawnmower..... I know quite a few Ag pilots who spend their lives at low level, albeit not in aything that fast. I asked one how close he can get to the ground before his estimate of height becaomes guesswork. He reckoned about 10 feet off the deck is about the best he can accurately estimate. Of course this is not in level flight, its a swoop in a plane. I'm picking that pilot in the vid didn't plan on getting as close as he did....My computer beat me at chess, It was no match for me at kickboxing....

Lots of really neat people at that boogie, so many friends for such a good time! Used to be a wonderful boogie. I haven't been in quite a few years. This is from New Year's Day, 2007 - I know it's not an especially low one, but I'd still say the guy in the foreground is diving for cover! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should clarify that I'm not saying it isn't a great boogie any more, only that having been absent for a few years I'm not qualified to judge. I do know that some of my favourite skydiving memories stem from Eloy boogies over the years. Big ways, helicopter and balloon jumps, the DC3, Otters queuing up to load, bumping into friends thousands of miles from home, free beer, sunsets... *MikeJD goes all misty-eyed*...
