pudestcon Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 You'd have to research those runs very well - imagine flying down a ravine to a dead end!! Pud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ozzie Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It's now 'Base' season in the northern hemisphere. A whole new generation of wingsuits are being tested so it won't be long before new footage starts appearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eightyknots Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Gob smacked!!!!!![media=vimeo]35368665[/media] Whichever way you look at it, this is truly ultralight flying! It's all downhill for these pilots: the little jet engine doesn't appear to help any pilot gain altitude, something Pratt & Whitney could look into perhaps?

Guernsey Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Where do they keep the cardboard boxes for landings. LOL In a nearby 'Cardboard Hangar'. Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howard Hughes Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Whichever way you look at it, this is truly ultralight flying! Sadly if I was flying one of these, I'd have to suffix my callsign with the word 'heavy'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alf jessup Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I believe Jeb Corliss is over in China at the moment working on something after his near miss in January this year.-Linda Linda, Wouldn't say busted legs in Sth Africa was what you would call a near miss as he actually hit the rocks (CFIT), maybe landing gear up after he smashed them up could be class as that. Bigger Marackers than me, not now not never but entertaining. Alf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark11 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I just wonder how you go about learning this... very quickly I imagine... Incredible place to "fly" like this... but it aint for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howard Hughes Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I like the idea of the wings with jets, Yves Rossy style! Although he hasn't perfected landing yet either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planedriver Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I like the idea of the wings with jets, Yves Rossy style! Although he hasn't perfected landing yet either! With just the thought of my personal landing gear being closest to the ground, brings tears to my eyes:yikes: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
