SuddenStop Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 they actually used Vertical Mag members with negative reps of 25 or more. they found it was the best way to rid the forum of people that didn't conform to the group of 12 that think they run the place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet B Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Just have someone chuck some pump and hose out after and we could use those folks for initial attack... Awesome! Makes my job easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flingwinger Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I may have posted this before...but I'll submit it again for your consideration. http://www.artofflightmovie.com/ So what do you think of the guy riding on the ski basket in flight, (around 1:15) and then jumping off (towards the end) (Looks like a pretty cool video though!) I just watched the video, its out on iTunes now. Awesome awesome awesome video if you are into snowboarding, helicopters, sleds and guns! Looks like they lift the guy on the basket right to the top. Another shot of a BA iced up on top of a cliff... had to tie down the front of the skid tubes/hold it down so he could shut down and chip the ice off the blades.. Not a good situation!

flingwinger Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 By far the best snowboard video out to date... Yes, some very "extreme flying".... and some amazing flying. In my opinion, the pilot dealt with the icing situation you are referring to very well. He shut down, secured the machine, dealt with the ice and got out when he could. Note that he left on his own, so as to not put anyone but himself at risk, and he picked up the passengers at a better location. Would you not have done the same? I absolutely agree, was only stating it was a ****** situation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

369fff Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Used a 500D, doors off, 10,000', slow down and watch 3 guys fall backwards off the skids at Pitt airport about a dozen times many years ago, looks awesome watching them fall away from the heli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
