Holy Shnikes. He apparently could care less if lived or died. Makes the backIts my lunch break. I nearly hurled on this one.
Im not afraid of heights really but this seriously gives me anxiety every time I look at it.
Yeah, I hear them on freq but hadn't had any close calls or RAs. that leg from HUO to COATE comes pretty close to FWN though. More RAs from GA skirting the bravo, or landing on 11. I had my last flight in the Dash so I'm not going that way anymoreI jumped at FWN in NJ maybe 11 or 12 years ago. It was awesome. But if I knew then what I know now, no way. FWN is directly underneath the arrival route for TEB and prop EWR landers at 6,000 and just after the point where Boston Center ships to us. It's also an area where we have crappy radar and radio coverage below 3500 at all times and sometimes higher. I've seen so many close calls between arrivals and the jump planes there who just climb straight up and half the time don't call us til they're out of 6500. I wouldn't be surprised if @bimmerphile has seen that jump plane closer than he'd like.
Just say the name... slowly. You'll hear it!!That place is a major crap factory.
If at first you don't succeed...It's a skydiving facility, the activity is inherently dangerous. 15 people who took the risk and lost? So what.
Fear of heights and fear of exposure (edges, etc) are two very different things.You might be surprised how many skydivers are afraid of heights. Just like flying, at altitude there is no sense of height when leaving the plane.

We'd tell him to stand in the corner but he'd just climb itThat kid needs a SERIOUS time out.
Hell, the only way that Mike D could get me up in a chopper is like this. lolI don't know about anyone else but I'm all about doing adrenaline-inducing things on occasion but jumping out of an airplane and assuming the chute works is something I have absolutely no interest in ever doing. Just thinking about it gives me anxiety.
He's a wise man. I think helicopters are marvelous machines (especially gunships), but hells bells, that is some foreign flying and equipment compared to fixed wing.I have a friend who refuses to get in helicopters but it has nothing to do with heights. His hang up is he is a structural engineer and refuses to fly in a, "flying pile of metal fatigue and uncontrolled oil leaks."
It's not that bad.... we totally have understood acceptable rates of the oil leaks.

It's never a happy thing to be in something that starts shedding it's parts either.It's the whole concept of the "Jesus Nut" that makes me think helos are sketchy.
