[Arcava]

Thats sick, i wanna try it

[SgtSkidmark]

That was tits. Thanks for thinking of us and bringing the cameras along.

Now, I dare you do it with Randy Quaid on the stick.

[toast2266]

wow.

that. looks. terrifying.

[Tech Tonics]

Holy Shit! That was fucking GREAT!!!

[MakersTeleMark]

Fucking amazing TR. Thanks.

[mobygrape]

wow. crazy...

[SchralphMacchio]

It looks like you harness yourself in for the maneuvers. But free-solo it from the seat to the wing? Wow.

I couldn't see where he clipped in ... but it looked like a pretty thin (7mm?) line. I woulda wanted an 11mm dynamic rope!
The Gorilla tape holding the broomstick to the strut wires was pretty awesome too.


well done, bravo.

Oh my god!

[JBird]

Them's some big onions you have, son! IF I were to ever try this, I think I might be able to get on the top wing, but there is no way in hell I could back my way off.
Never mind, just have the flight attendant bring me another cocktail.

Was the broomstick really just duct taped to the wing?

[chmnyboy]

Sweet, it's always good to bring some good stoke. Some answers:

-Yes, it was terrifying. The most terrifying thing I've done.
-The pole on the top of the wing had a seatbelt that I buckled around my waist after climbing up.
-No, the broomstick was not duct taped, it was gorilla taped, and I think I remember some zip-ties. My hands and feet were the only things holding me to the broomstick.
-I was harnessed the whole time. The safety line was a steel cable (obviously not dynamic) and there was no plan to get me back in the plane if I fell. A no fall zone for sure.
-The pilot was very experienced. I would not trust Randy Quaid.

I think the pilot is trying to make this into more of a business. It's not cheap, but totally worth it for those with disposable income, especially considering no one else in the world will let you do this. If anyone is interested, drop me a line and I'll get you in touch. After crashing on my couch for the night, I'll happily drive you to the air strip, but no way in hell I'll be joining you on the wing. Once is enough.

[Atrain505]

Wow!!!!!!

[That was Pontus]

Bad-fucking-ass TR! That was awesome!

[link1]

No way would i do that without my parachute on! Always wanted to ride in a biplane and fall out when inverted. Very cool!

[neck beard]

The adrenaline come down must have been a bitch.

Jesus Christ.

WOW.....that is unreal. The fact that you could just show up and do it, with very little prep. The pilot is taking some risk, if he gets a yahoo without the skills who just slips off and is getting dragged through the air at 100mph......then what. He needs to find someone to practice falling off and getting back in.......the disaster recovery plan.

Thanks for sharing.....totally amazing. Definately makes you (me) wonder if I would do it......GULP.

[Puffin]

Very amazing. Pretty sure I'd need a diaper to try that.
