somehow Gabs.... I am not quite as positive as you :badluck :dizzy :laughing :laughing

It was Ohio about a year ago.... looks like he inverted with the walker to be on the underside (now the top) of the wing, but he couldn't get wings level and was turning towards the crowd, so he had to ditch it :cry :badluck :realcrazy :dizzy :puke2

I always wanted to be a wing walker but after our last flight with Lofty he told me that I could probably drag an effing airbus out of the sky.... :cry

I never ever enjoyed watching those kind of stunts.

But that is just scary to think about.

That is the same crash from a different angle..... however, yes it is impressive to see someone hanging off the wing of an airplane.... standing on top of a train, tight rope walking across canyons, climbing high mountains etc etc.... but to me, it is just darwins theory at work..... and of course, everyone says "oh well he/she died doing what they enjoyed' :calmdown as if that is supposed to help? :noidea :laughing :laughing

Yeah... to each their own.

When I was young... I thought 'going out' would be best done quickly and having fun.
Maybe in maturity that is not such a great idea...
However...
Who wants to rot away in a hospital bed, tied to wires and tubes, and miserable.
Watched that happen to my Dad a few years ago... not sure I am interested to do that myself.
