Guest Maj Millard Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Ozzie would be the one to talk to on wether it's real or not. They are doing some pretty spectacular stuff with the winged suits, and this guys got a nice set of wings with little zip-tips and all. The Skydiving scene is constantly re-inventing itself and never stops redeveloping gear and techniques. The average age is 21 years and the very creative energy of youth is at work here. The gear and suits we thought were cutting edge in the 70s (they were !) are now relegated to dinosoar status, against the new gear ! Like I say it's always re-inventing itself, so who knows where A 70s Maj with his skydiver wife against Newcastle Sport Parachute clubs Cessna 180 VH-CYJ, probabily at Cessnock aerodrome. it will end !..........................................................Maj...

J170 Owner Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Many thanks, as you said it's pretty good. I will keep an eye out for more of their work. I Googled the music but as yet cannot find a sight that will let me play it. Pete, I went for a flight in the Savannah to Truro Flats, as passenger, for the toy run. Most impressed, coming in on zero-three over the trees was easy, in the Jab, I'm sure I would run out of runway. Maybe you should give me top dollar for my plane and I'll go get a new Savanna.
