When you go pro:



As a pilot, my sympathies extend more to the guys in the Pilatus. Looks like they have to dive hard to meet the wingsuiters, who are posing a risk similar to a bird strike. The mountainous terrain also seems to lack a safe place to put the plane down in an emergency.

Wow! & I haven't even done a bungi jump. Looks like 007.

[Toolmaker51]

Yes that's my name, but not me. Hang gliding I'd do, along with wingsuiting. Plain old parachuting or skydiving doesn't seem nearly the thrill.
Gravity, darn it all.
Also, that's Frank S and I in the empty tourbillion seats, IYKWIM.

Roger That Jon! PC-6 (for a basic rabbit hole dive) is a pretty amazing STOL aircraft and those guys have angels on their wing tips for pulling off that stunt over mountains like that with winds gusts/shears and eddies and temp changes. Pilot SKILLs and then some! Wingsuiter's are pretty bodacious as well.

Seeing what these birds can do at the hands of a good pilot...watch the movie "Air America" when they land on on a ~60° mountainside...and take off from it.

48 seconds.

Don't think that was those two flyin' that bird! Tom Danaher from Wichita Falls, Texas...read the first posting below by Cherokee592...don't know for sure but sounds credible!

Well OK but afterwards I know of a great place to get some gourmet lime sherbet near there

Is that Sherpa lime sherbet with Yak milk or Himalayan lime sorbet?

[Frank S]

Any of the yak milk or goats milk varieties are just fine the Himalayan Sorbet is a lot more fruity with little to no dairy in it, I'm also quite fond of the Turkish and Arab lime and rose petal Sharbat

If those E cigs can spontaneously explode I'll stick with my pipe

Ah yup, just clamp down with yer teeth, hold yer breath and wait ..... KABOOM!! straight up in the air and over yer head! No harm no foul .....

[Clockguy]

Uh oh, we have some kind of a time warp or black hole or something, I posted this reply over on the "Exploding subway jumper" thread!!??!!

[Frank S]

That's OK Clockguy PJs and I and a couple others frequently hijack these threads with a little bit of off handed humor
