stratman05 0 #3 September 25, 2006 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gadget 0 #7 September 25, 2006 No i think Costijn is right.I say turbo finist, like the attached picIf people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 140 #8 September 25, 2006 QuoteNo i think Costijn is right.I say turbo finist, like the attached picI think it's an AN-2 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.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #9 September 25, 2006 QuoteI think it's an AN-2 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..) tIt's the year of the Pig.
