Gate crasher

Recommended Posts

nice! Last spring, they ran an article in parachutist about one of our pilots and us doing CRW. One of the guy's wife sits next to the pilot on a 182 and takes pics out the doors. He's got it so he can fly pretty slow by us to take amazing pics (we jokingly use it to inspect our canopies).

We're gonna try some stuff in the spring that should be fun. Will present some good photo ops ;)

No i think Costijn is right.I say turbo finist, like the attached pic

I think it's an AN-2 :|:D

More seriously, this is a Porter, look at the tail, moreover its a 4blade prop, more common on Porters than on Finnists.
Landing gear is definitely Porter, not Finnist...
Oh yeah, Finnist is left side door, with a big footstep, on the "gatecrasher" you don't see the open door and no footsep, because it's a Porter which has them on the right side...

My guess is it is either
I-MEFA
or
I-CAKE

OK, I'm SURE it's I-CAKE, because I-MEFA has blue wingtips and 3blade prop. I-CAKE has a 4blade and white wingtips.

It's a Porter. What makes it look odd is the Black nose, since most skydivers never see that, but it helps cut down on reflection when flying into the sun.

(Either that or it's an AN-2..;))
