bexrbetter Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Very nice but relatively speaking, I didn't think it was that great actually. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz3g Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I wonder how long it will be before somebody with far fewer skills dies trying to copy or even outdo these guys? Kaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Those crashes were deliberate. Stunt flyers earning money. Plenty of surplus planes around at the time. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperplace Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I won't try that at YMBD, particularly with there being only doors at one end of the hangar! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of the ground markers (set up to help them navigate) still survive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
