I think he might have a short half-life.

In his line of work it's called a flame-out.

 

[waltesefalcon]

I've seen him in a couple other videos, pretty darned cool.

I sure, but he has a rocket! Check this winged man with only a wing suit!

 

[Boink]

THAT guy is nuts. I seem to recall someone getting seriously DEAD from that sort of flight.

 

[Guest]

I'm pretty sure if God wanted me to fly He'd given me a P51.....

 

[Bayless]

Well that's not for me.

 

[Guest]

Well that's not for me.

What, a P51; what do you prefer, a pterodactyl?

 

[Bayless]

Not a P51, the wing suit, silly.

 

[LarryK]

He probably looks at it as being safer than being in an old LBC.

Well of course the wing suit is silly, that's why I'd rather a P51....:tongue-new:

"As Coroner I must be grim, I thoroughly examined him, and he's not only merely dead, he's really most sincerely dead."

Didn't he fly across the English channel in that suit? PJ
