likvidskaj 0 #1 June 23, 2005 Yesterday (sunday) I've experienced a fantastic visual and I'm still smiling! Robert told me he want to try his (yet unseen) new toy, and he'll buzz me while I'm open to have a reference in flight. Of course, I said let's do it. I exited one guy before him, went into a dive (no wingsuit) and dumped at 5000' according to plan. My job was simple, to keep stady preplaned heading and he'll do all corrections if neccessary. I'was flying my canopy straight into the sun, the skies were blue, and just like in a dog-fight, I've spotted him flying his mean black machine (it looks mean even on the ground while "empty", I tell you) straight at me, coming from the sun, and just like a jet fighter plane, curved his almost flat flight to correct for my forward speed. Bigger and bigger he was and that silhuette coming down at me just above the horizon looked like an all metal, black, rock-firm jet fighter plane. Whooossshhh! As he passed me some 100 ft to my left (it was a safe jump) exactly at my altitude and continued at straight line, I've immediatelly turned toward his tail but he was flying so fast and so flat that I was just sitting there with my mouth open and eyeballed him. I'm not a wingsuit flier but I just had to share this with you. A fantastic visual indeed! I'm at work now but all I can think of is yesterday's experience. Blue skies to you all!
