Skydiver to jump from edge of space in record bid
The RAF must be hopping mad, just as the presenter talks about RAF fighter pilots and the pressure chamber the cameraman zooms in on the crab blue jumper to reveal (00:43 and 00:50) ....
BBC News - Skydiver to jump from edge of space in record bid
AAC wings! I bet the RAF PR machine office's phones must have been red hot after seeing this on the breakfast news, I noticed that the piece shown for the rest of the day has been edited to remove that particular shot.
Love it.

Spotted that this morning, and had a wry chuckle. Oddly, the AFB-issue hasn't made it to PPRuNe.

The hat cunt. He should try lobbing out of a Hercules at 800ft carrying nearly 200lb of kit, equipment and parachutes, with 80 odd other cunts trying to get out at the same time. I might even try it myself one day if an aircraft is available!
In fact, I don't think I will. It's shit.Badger_Heed likes this.

It's not the jump thats the problem, it's the sudden deceleration that worries most people. Originally Posted by JT0475
