AggieDave 6 #1 February 8, 2005 I wish I could get a jump from a rigid airship. As big as some of them were back before "the" disaster, you could launch some decent sized formations from them with the number of people they held. Beyond that I believe it would be fun or atleast good video to jump a from a lawn chair/weather balloon "aircraft" (google it, you'll find the story). The spruce goose would be a badass thing to jump from as well! What about you, what bizzare or old/historical aircraft would like to jump from?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Amazon 7 #4 February 8, 2005 QuoteThe spruce goose would be a badass thing to jump from as well! http://www.sprucegoose.org/aircraft_artifacts/exhibits.html Its sitting in McMinnville Oregon on Hwy 18 on the way to the Oregon Coast.. but I think Mr Hughes only got it off the ground a few feet and realized it was a disaster waiting to happen....and it has not flown since. Me.. I would settle for a jump out of the very first airplane I ever flew in... when I was a little tyke.. to me its still the most beautiful airplane built... the lines are flowing and the feel of flying in it with the beautiful ladies who brought us anything we needed. http://www.conniesurvivors.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bch7773 0 #5 February 8, 2005 I'd love to jump from a blimp. or one of those really big choppers... like a chinook the balloon chair would be pretty cool too. However I've done something similar, a powered parachute that ran outta gas on jump run... thats basically about the same as a balloon chair... pretty fun.

penniless 0 #20 February 8, 2005 Since DH Otters are so good, I'd try a few other DH's, like a Tiger Moth and a Mosquito. B24, B17 or Avro Lancaster too. DC3 (oh, did that already). Harrier? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they just got lucky that once. Me, I've always wanted to jump from a glider. Find a nice thermal to 12K, throw up the canopy, and jump! I got a strong urge to fly, but I got no where to fly to. -PF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #22 February 8, 2005 Out the bottom of a B-52 or out the back of a C-17. How about a ride in a cruise missle? Five hundred miles at 50 feet, then a pop up to let you get out. Would that make your eyeballs bug out or what? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmanpilot 0 #23 February 8, 2005 Exiting the Constellation has been the greatest visual to date for me. What a beautiful airplane, I was momentarily stunned by how graceful it was while falling away from it. I'm looking forward to chunking a wad-o-people out the back of a C-130 some day._________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

turtlespeed 220 #24 February 8, 2005 I'd have to go with the space shuttle - Better chance of getting back safely. That would be cool though - figure what a 96" drouge for stability cut that away at what 60,000 feet maybe - sounds cool.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
