I'm sure it took a crane to pull him out

Can he log that as a touch and go?
 
:shocked:

Ohhh so CLOSE to catastrophe!
 
Wow, that's some shizzle.

Can't no one tell me he did it on purpose. ( but I bet he's tryin' too.)
 
Oh that DEFINITELY can be logged as a touch-n-go. The wing/plane did the "touch" and the pilot did the "go" - in his flight suit!!! :laugh:

all of the above.

Furthermore, I'd like to say that IMO, this threadis improperly titled.

I'm sure he was readily removable. I'm quite suprised that the resulting counter force of the rather large amount of excrement realeased didn't propel him through the roof of the cockpit. I guess it's a good thing he was strapped in tight. Talk about an ejection seat!!!
 
maybe the crane was required to remove the seat cushion from his backside! jeez, i hope he bought a lottery ticket after that.
 
A tiny bit less airspeed or a smidge longer reaction time and that would have ended badly. The leading footage in the clip demonstrates these guys' skill and reaction time... remarkable. That truly was an example of the pilot being "one with the horse"!

A friend of mines son is a trainer for Cirrus You need to look at just exactly what that plane is POWER light stiff as heck incredable control surfaces super light its a flying F1 in the rite hands or a lawn dart in the wrong.

the planes that are being used today are much more advanced, but in the late 1970's my bud paul and i had the use of 3 brand new citabria, the aircraft name is "airbatic" spelled backwords, at one time were the only certified aerobatic planes being build in the u.s., they belonged to a guy that had a banner flying service out of n.j., the deal was for us to do scheduled inspections for the owner and as long as we put fuel in them we could fly anytime we wanted, we did some very nutty and scary things with them thus came up with the turm "PCP" = "pilot changes pantys", i love watching these new races now but im afraid that one day there will be a catastophy involving the planes spectators and surrounding buildings.

The roll rate seen in the vid is a good indicator as to just how quick the things are. Remarkable!
