You should put in a couple hundred jumps before you wingsuit. Since you call it squirrel suiting I think you have 0, haha.

Haha good catch, someone knows their 152 checklist. I did but this video starts basically just after that.

Anybody else lol at the gas station that's very similar to a car one? I did not think they were like that for small planes.

All prop planes have this step in the checklist. Pretty self explanatory if you ask me. But yeah I would start a recording after priming because every 150 I have floen, priming is a BITCH. It takes so much force to pull it out and push ban in while making a horrendous noise. Haha

Canterbury where do you fly? I think it would be pretty damn awesome this summer if a bunch of pilots from NS could arrange to all fly somewhere or something.

I live and fly out of way up in Yellowknife, NT, Canada. My Dad flies out of Vernon, BC (I go up with him when I come back to visit). That would be awesome, though unlikely for me as I'll be pretty busy with work this summer.

that's unfortunately quite illegal unless your pilot has the proper operating certificates.

Actually according to the FAA's technical standard order only the jumper needs to be licensed. The pilot, as long as he/she is a pilot, only needs to wear a pilot rig on any flight where jumpers exit the aircraft. And thats only if there is no bulkhead. :)

I was flying yesterday, cruising along right at a ground speed of 115 or so (nice wind) when below me I see a plane.....I don't hear anything on the radio, and then BOOM the thing starts spinning and flipping

And I just kept going straight


Damn stunt planes

Weird. Seems like he should have self announced that to the traffic in the area. On the way back from this flight I heard a guy on the radio who was low over some tulip fields and another guy almost hit him. He was pretty pissed to say the least.
