skymama 37 #1 March 7, 2003 Ok, it's a silly show. But, they're talking about sending their newsguy up on a tandem. It's on NBC.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

indyz 1 #5 March 7, 2003 Running commentary as I watched: That's a nice Square One jumpsuit he's wearing. Looks like an Otter from the outside, but not from the inside. Oh, they got to the door before the tandem was hooked up. Scary. Conversing in freefall. No drogue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #6 March 7, 2003 Boo. Just like TV. A drogueless tandem that lasted forever complete with a nice conversation. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #7 March 7, 2003 And I only saw them hook up 2 hooks to the tandem on his shoulders. Of course that was while they were standing in the door. Did you notice the camera guy go out at least 5 seconds before his tandem? lol!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TEB6363 0 #11 March 7, 2003 It sounds a lot like the Tandem sceen in the movie "Cutaway".... But hey, I still keep watching the movie. Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #12 March 7, 2003 Naw, "Cutaway" was a freekin' documentary compared to this.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #13 March 7, 2003 Gee - I wish I had a job that paid me to skydive. Especially a tandem! That's not a cheap jump.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howardwhite 6 #14 March 8, 2003 Did anyone besides me think the in-the-plane stuff looked remarkably like the similar scene in "Cheers" ever so many years ago? The ground didn't look a lot like Florida, either. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #15 March 8, 2003 Can't really speak to the plane interior stuff, but the freefall stuff was definately shot at Perris.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #16 March 8, 2003 Quote That's a nice Square One jumpsuit he's wearing. Yup. And pretty much everything else came from Sq1 too. Did anyone happen to notice a Square One sticker on the side of the plane in any of the interior shots? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #17 March 8, 2003 Nope, but I did notice that there were a bunch of skydiving graphics that somebody has printed and taped to the insided of the fuselage. Looked pretty cheesy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #18 March 8, 2003 About the only sticker I can remember seeing is a big "Go Fast" one.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
