No parachute, but that's okay as I'd signed that I wouldn't come back haunt to them.

Too true John, but I did check how high I could raise my arms for a "yee ha!"

Good morning Fred,

What an experience!

Even though you were not wearing brown trousers, that’s quite a trip you went on.

If you would like to take it up a notch, next time could you try wing walking…..

I know you have done a parachute jump at 10,000 feet and you’re quite adventurous.

If you need help posting up photos or a video, drop me a pm and I can assist.

Thanks for that Phil.

Having delved into the wing walking, and as you are in the brace, it's not appealed to me.
The Pitts Special was designed back in the 1940's and as I'd seen them used for years, it had the appeal. A very sturdy airframe with the wings having internal bracing, no flexing at all, and with only a twenty foot wingspan, the roll rate is brilliant. After the first "avalanche" I asked the pilot if we could do it again as he knew where we were going, and I needed to know where we'd been.

It was good fun, and passing one of the Hurricanes whilst taxying out.

What G forces were involved, any anti-G mitigation needed?

The most intense were between 4 and 6. No aids or support to combat it, but one's ability to counter that force is dependent on ones experiences and, dare I say? hobbies.
