[fholbert]

Evidently there was a parachute on the plane that spiraled out of control.

Another Al Capon’s vault.

Online streaming services do live sports and live tv already. Not sure what you mean?

First 'plane swap' stunt unsuccessful as plane spirals out of control in Arizona; FAA investigating

Pilots Luke Aikins and Andy Farrington were unable to complete the never-before-seen stunt as one plane went out of control.

Like I was saying….

i was just east of their launch location, southeast of Arizona City and east of sawtooth DZ. Cleanup on aisle five…..

I would’ve thought they would’ve launched from Redbull airfield.

So…Red Bull in fact does NOT give you wings.

was out in my usual patrol area out there. Biggest worry was an unmanned plane going somewhere it shouldn’t and be he stuff to prevent that not working.

Borrowed from someone else, but that guy might be the first person to simultaneously crash one plane and also safely land another.

That's not where the parachute goes and you know it!

Someone should have told them.

That’s a shame, I was looking forward to the silly jokes and stuff if it had worked out.
“ he put the seat all the way up, and forward before he jumped… what a putz “, etc.

 

[Wardogg]

One of those cases where it might have been better to ask for permission rather than forgiveness...

Apparently they were denied by the FAA.

Denial letter
