Pumpkins at 10k feet

[mshunter]

Anyone ever done it? Is this thing going to pop?

I ended up getting called for an overnight, and my son still doesn't have his pumpkin, so I just bought one. But I have to take of home, and I'll probably have to go as high as 10k on my way home, and there isn't a differential pressure knob in this ship.

Can't you just stick a knitting needle size hole in it in the bottom?

I clicked on this thread hoping for a video of someone dropping a pumpkin from 10,000'.
Now I want a video of an airplane getting its door blown off in flight from an exploding pumpkin.

With what? I'm on a trip, with zero accessories.

 

[jskibo]

Have a house key? Plastic knife from some random food place?
Fuel dip gauge? Yoke lock?

Dont have a #2 Phillips screw driver you can shove into it?

Impale it on the end of a propeller tip.

Do it all the time, it shouldn't be a problem. I've never had one pop and I've been flying pumpkins around like a mad-man in the last few weeks.

I've had Cheetos pop. Packing materials pop. Never tried a pumpkin. I too, feel ripped off there is no video in this thread however.
Here is my attempt to save the thread:

I can't stop watching it. If you have a sub please turn your sound way up and watch it again.
