Plane Stunt Pics – Parachuting From Wings Of Pawnee Crop Duster…
Quote: One of the local farmers had roped in his cropsprayer (on the pics it looks like a Piper Pawnee PA-25) to show off for the benefit of the crowd. Meanwhile a couple of parachutists were in need of a hike up to the right level for jumping, so some arrangement was made to accommodate them on one of the cropsprayer’s trips. Judging by what was to follow, I suppose the pilot of the Piper Pawnee was confident that he had sufficient flight insurance to cover his airplane financing!
Presumably it was quickly established that the Piper aircraft had only one seat in the cockpit – that of the pilot, and the only place to put these guys was on the wings. So they dutifully clambered on top of each wing, sitting facing forwards, and holding onto the wing support strut above each wing.
Couple of nice pics of some STOOOOPID guys…...... nicely done article. I’m shaking my head at the stupidity of the pilot…....
