I want to see them land and park it now.

Very nice but relatively speaking, I didn't think it was that great actually.

 

 

[johnm]

there should have been some grandstand seating inside the hangar - there'd be plenty that would pay ........ just sign a simple disclaimer and off you go

I wonder how long it will be before somebody with far fewer skills dies trying to copy or even outdo these guys?

Done it loads of times......................in my flight sim. Now let's see them do it through your average barn.

I'm not going to search but others will find old black and white movies of barnstorming - and crashes.

Those crashes were deliberate. Stunt flyers earning money. Plenty of surplus planes around at the time. Nev

I won't try that at YMBD, particularly with there being only doors at one end of the hangar!

That comment goes to show how Red Bullsh!t can influence gullible people. There are hundreds, maybe thousand of gravestones of people who thought they could but didn't, and it was the biggest impediment in the fight to establish airline travel.

It was done for filming Turbs. People didn't get killed as it was all arranged. The first paying regular services were postal deliveries. Single engined planes in all weathers with a terrible death rate and no one watching, (or caring much).Nev

The story of the early airmail services in the US is amazing. A few of the ground markers (set up to help them navigate) still survive.

Here is one of the giant navigating arrows spread across America.

I've got arrows like that down my hallway heading for the toilet.

That's a surprising list. If you added documentary and news filming it would be several times larger.
