Thumb flying, was Bill Hempel's new video

[Lance Van Nostrand]

MessageMaybe, but #3 fooled the guys at work.  I see why you had to go to Mexico to film it.  Funny how the guys in the background wanted to stay far enough away to avoid being identified on camera.  Love to see us thumb fliers out-fly the finger boys.

  The questionable videos are 1 and 2...3 is a mini-movie and trailing shots.

  1 and 2 have me touching the big Pitts and Billy under the big Pitts. Not normal flying days...must have been something with the new year planet alignment. And after watching the videos, I think the next films we do will be more follow the camera, Billy and I liked that the most.

      I must have missed something, which stunt are you guys talking about that you see as very dangerous? The video I saw was the one of the Jason-like doll flying around hanging under the plane. Followed by a rear view of the plane in flight. I thought that was one of the best videos I have seen in a long time.



      Thanks, Rich

        Agree.  All it takes is ONE accident during such a stunt.  Dwayne

        I went back and saw the video again and re-read what I wrote, below. I disappointed myself. My first reaction was hey really kool that you guys can do that.

         

        Then the thought crept into my head of the time 17 years ago, a 3 1/2 hp lawn mower nearly chopped my hand off. 

         

        Here we have a huge amount of power, a prop that has zero conscience (like a bullet) and a couple of guys that are so experienced, they believe they can't get hurt. It may be true of them, but what if someone who isn't that experienced gets to try it, and gets seriously hurt?

         

        Sorry guys, I apologize for my earlier email which condones the stunts. I take it back.  I think these are very irresponsible and downright dangerous. 

         

        You want to fire away at me, go ahead. I am very thick skinned (VBG)

          THAT'S TRULY KOOL BEANS. Dangerous, but kool. I particularly liked the one where you  went for a ride. You're NUTS. I suppose 20hp equates to about 300 pounds of thrust, heh? (BG)

           

          That 20 hp meat grinder up front would scare me to death to even think about these stunts, let alone do'em. 

           

          Evel Knievel had nothing on youze guys.
