DeeZee 0 #1 July 23, 2002 Whose looking forward to that last load on the Jet in Rantoul? Gotta be the most violent blast ever with you doin a 236 mph exit don't ya think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #2 July 23, 2002 Not me...I think I'll skip that one.... I'm not a huge fan of high speed exits. I haven't yet figured out the attraction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 July 23, 2002 Did a high speed pass out of a CASA once, the pilot said we were doing around 200mph, sorta close to the jet jump, not as cool, though. The wind blast kicked me on my ass, though. Luckily I caught my goggles as they were being pulled off my head... Enjoy yourself, it was cool once, but I don't really see a need to do it again, unless I ever get into birdman suits...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Danhole 0 #6 July 23, 2002 236 Miles per Hour!! "don't see the attraction!!!" ARE YOU NUTS I'll will be on that load or someone will die! I'm not making threats or anything. But I WILL be on that load!! Danhole Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #7 July 23, 2002 Quote236 Miles per Hour!! "don't see the attraction!!!" ARE YOU NUTS The jet jump itself is not anything special. Unelss you are extremely aware of air speeds and can tell the slow down, you wont. You'll be jerked around, but as i said, the Connie was more violent. That being said, its the atmosphere of the jet jump that is the attarction. sitting down in the 727 in 4 long lines, with every single person on board smilling from ear to ear was what the jet jumps was all about... for me at least.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyjames 2 #8 July 23, 2002 oh my, oh my... E-ticket rides galore (no, it's not an electronic Airline Ticket) Decided to go before the Jet was confirmed, I have video from a friend that did it and at the same time did a speed star (10 way) 13.5 secs ! The Bell chopper ride was still considered the best E ride of all. Is there corn fields in Rantoul? Dragging the tips of your feet over the top of them while sitting in the door sounds like a little fun :) From fast to slow Oh my, Oh my! A clash, speed vrs no speed , jet to balloon. Like the 1st time you jumped, you only get to do that once, so I want to be 1st again, in more ways than one.
