How To Be A Free Fall Cameraman
Step 1: Climb outside the aircraft. Remember to hang on tight, it’s windy out there!
Step 2: Let go while keeping your camera sight aligned perfectly on your subject. What could be easier?
Step 3: By adjusting your body position, adjust your free fall speed to precisely match that of your subject. Don’t forget to push down on the camera switch with your tongue to take still pictures or you wont get paid. You are now ready to make big bucks as a free fall cameraman! But beware, so many chicks will dig you you’ll have a hard time keeping them straight.

There isn’t a whole lot to see when you fly over South Dakota so you take what you can get.

My instructor Dustin looks just a little more relaxed than his passenger Fred.
The Road Not Taken…..Yet
Ever since watching the movie “Always” I’ve wanted to fly fire bombers. It’s just the kind of flying I love, down, dirty and dangerous. And with a purpose. I could go on and on about flying old equipment one hundred feet above a mountain ridge, thru smoke, turbulence and downdrafts being something that most pilots with any sense would stay far away from but you don’t get much of an adrenalin buzz flying a DC-9 to Fresno. If you want adventure you’ve got to hang it out a little. Flying jumpers is sort of the same thing only we drop meat bombs instead of water bombs, it’s as close as I’m going to get for now but who knows? Maybe my wife will let me get my air attack card and spend three or four months a year out west flying with the boys…….riiiiiight. I think I’ll go fly my Queen Air this morning and get my old twin in the air before work. It’s something at least.

Ultra low? Must not be a jump pilot in the cockpit.
