Mike8684 0 #1 February 10, 2009 I'm looking for good quality examples of aircraft/skydiver near-hit videos to update a safety presentation. The presentation is designed to educate (non-skydiver, whuffo) pilots on best practices in staying safe when flying around dropzones. These videos make great attention-getters. Any available details of the incident would be appreciated, although I do not reveal names, DZs, etc unless you desire it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike8684 0 #3 February 10, 2009 Thanks for the info. I've searched dropzone.com, and have what's available here. I'm hoping to get access to some higher quality video...something clear & suitable for a large screen. The best example I've seen to date is Stu Carter's "flyby" video, he gave me permission to use it. There is an old video showing an AFF and an airliner flying underneath which is a real eye-opener, but I have not been able to get a high quality copy. I can provide a file transfer address for big files. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike8684 0 #4 February 10, 2009 Perhaps I should mention that I will only use the video if I have the videographers permission. I'm not looking to rip-off your work, and I do not get paid for giving my presentation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe somebody from Eloy can help you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike8684 0 #7 February 12, 2009 Yeah...it's a good one alright. Stuart Carter shot it, I got a copy of the British govt report, seems the Chipmunk driver was following a road near the DZ, got off course, and there wasn't any indication the pilot ever saw the jumpers.
