papax17 0 #1 February 19, 2006 This is a pretty crazy video I happened to stumble across. I dont think its posted on skydivingmovies.com but I could be wrong. Basically a skydiver jumped out of one plane...flies to another and climbs in. Pretty amazing. It looked like Jeb Corliss was there too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you had looked at the thread above then you would know it is Greg Gasson. Oh, and there are about 3-4 others if you want to do a search. Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

You know about rotor blades, right? You know that the general direction a diver goes during a fall is down right? So, to get into a door of a heli, you have to enter from above to a spot directly below the rotor blades... I can toss a hackeysack between the blades of my ceiling fan and not get whacked about 3/10 times. So, I guess if you have a great sense of timing... Let me know if you pull it off. Send me the video and I will mail you a case of longnecks and some big brass balls to go with it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #7 February 21, 2006 Quotethe prop on the front of the plane looks close enough. I remember one guy on TV doing that stunt. He actually got a prop cut in his boot! Another friend, long time stunt man Jerry Myers did that stunt. He said he felt like "a goldfish swimming in a fucking blender." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
78RATS 0 #8 February 21, 2006 I've seen someone do it but they rigged a device to stop the prop from turning during the attempt which was disabled after the jump so they could land the plane. Sounds like a good idea. Rat for Life - Fly till I die When them stupid ass bitches ask why Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
