Westerly 61 #1 November 11, 2018 Anyone know where I can find a copy of the photo of a women riding on the outside of a Twin Otter, on the nose? I seem to recall it was on one of the Sharks at Perris. It was published in Parachutist mag a few episodes back this year. The pilot did an engine cut and then the jumper dove off the nose, head down. I cant seem to find it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Westerly 61 #3 November 11, 2018 I seem to recall it was an Otter, but it might have been a Skyvan. It's the only photo I've seen of someone riding on the nose of an airplane. Not exactly the safest thing to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoipex99 0 #15 November 22, 2018 Yes,the pink sky van has a roof hatch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE84SWO6z24 Oldschool video where you can see some roof exits... Older picture of Wuzi climbing on top of the nose, exiting through the side door. Note that the right engine was turned off while climbing out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
