Fordy 0 #1 July 17, 2002 just wondering if any of you wingsuit nuts are planning on a trip to Lidkoping (excuse spelling) for the c130 boogie.... Hoping there will be plenty of flock action there.... Andy Ford Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmcvey 0 #4 July 22, 2002 If you went out the back of the herc can you fly "up" the airflow (since its a real fast run-in speed) and see the top of the herc? i heard this is true, hope one of you at least tries. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
outrager 6 #5 July 22, 2002 Yes, you can climb up quite a bit above the aircraft after a high-speed tailgate exit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
konradptr 0 #6 July 29, 2002 I was going to try some of the exits from the Rantoul C130 in a wingsuit, just wanted to know if there are any words of wisdom for doing this? Is it possible to hit the plane as you are zooming upwards, or is this a pretty stupid, unrealistic fear? Thanks, ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

apoil 0 #7 August 19, 2002 QuoteYes, you can climb up quite a bit above the aircraft after a high-speed tailgate exit. Can you EVER! There was lots of video of this at the Herc boogie of the wingsuits getting 50-100 feet above the tail of that beautiful plane. It's been a long time since I've seen any (skydiving) video that made my heart flutter like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

verticalflyer 11 #9 August 22, 2002 I filmed John Loken on two incredible exits and one of the shots was nominated in the HP film comp at the boogie very cool footage, i shall be posting some stills from the sequence when i get round to it. Plus some MPegs but I just moved house after getting back from the boogie so got to reconstruct everything before any geeking. The boggie rocked and I have begun with a friends pro edit sweet putting a 15 minute short wingsuit film together from the boogie, I'll let you know when its done.
