BillyVance 35 #1 April 24, 2007 So, anybody seen it? I saw several versions of it on the USA channel last night. Just wondered what the hell kind of plane it was they showed, and what the hell kind of helmets they were wearing. None of that seemed recognizable.

skydivermom 0 #9 April 24, 2007 I saw a quick version of a guy in freefall with a taco but couldn't tell if it was real. The version I saw of a woman under canopy didn't look real at all. I've noticed a lot of commercials featuring skydiving lately. The Tetris one, and another one with some kind of cheese snacks I think.

Gato 0 #13 April 24, 2007 The plane looked identical to one of the planes in the PS1 Skydiving Extreme video game - kinda looks like a very pregnant 182. Aren't the helmets very similar to military HALO helmets?T.I.N.S. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More like a stunted Cessna Caravan, the way the door is situated.

lekstrom10k 0 #18 April 24, 2007 My wife TIVOD Despert Housewives on Sunday It was on at 45 minutes of the show. The plane in flight is something like a Kodiak but has no country or call sign numbers to see. Airtwardo got to jump one like it but I couldnt see the sliding outside door. I just reran the ad and finally figured why the C-47 didnt look right. They removed the rear cargo door and probably put the tail wheel on an oil drum trick to make it look like level flight. Most DZ's just take the passenger door out of the front cargo door to jump. Most pilots say its to squirrley to fly with both cargo doors off. The jump suits have tape over the DZ's lettering. The rigs are like old wonderhogs vectors. "Skydive" is written under the door but might not be real nor any floater bars. It might be just water color paint like "MR DOUGLAS " got for a WW11 movie .

boinky 0 #24 April 25, 2007 Hey, I saw the Main Street Homes one too! Didya' notice how they had to cover up what was GOING to be a very shitty landing? They had to cut and go to them being on the ground already. Geez....if you're gonna' do a commercial with someone landing, at LEAST get someone who knows how to land!
