Actually, it's pretty tame and there is really no way to get hurt. Although, standing on the platform and looking down at a raging river 500' below can certainly create some anxiety!

It's definitely something everyone should do at least once. I don't know how the price of this one compares to others but it is $100 for one zip on each of 5 different lines.

...which is why I don't understand why there aren't more people pics here. If you're shy - you shouldn't be driving a CS!!!! ;-))

Nice car David! 'Liked your bio too!

I will be posting a picture of me with a new purchase pretty soon. It is a big purchase (not a CS). :grin:

Wide____open! Thanks now i can see...ya with the GTCS347 in blue on a white plate if you could that would be great. As you can see i put it as my Avatar picture, its now also my facebook and myspace image! I have also printed it out in a landscape page set up with the image you started with at the top, with the modified image on the bottom and showed it to my dad and he just had a real big smile on his face and thought it was great...so thanks again Tim.

Ya if you want to send it to me in an email, its gtcs347@yahoo.com
thanks again!

Hey David...

I got your drag racing info and photos in the mail today. Totally amazing!

It will go into the book. You may have the fastest CS anywhere!

Paul N.

p.s. I would think that if I saw a Mustang next to me at the light, with drag tires in the back seat, that it was pretty hot. Like the time I saw the '55 Chevy from Am. Graffitti next to me, while in my car, and it had some nasty looking scissor/ladder bars.

Uh oh.

Visions of shredded tire debris all over my windshield!

...Yeah, I know... but I prefer a ride in the front of your ambulance some day - not the back ;-)


Next time you come to SoCal....I promise you a ride in the front of the Med Sled.

Shaun,

You must be one proud dad! With that little handsome guy, I'm sure he'll be wanting to ride along with you in your other "baby" ...

So what does it cost to get another plane in the air for the picture?

Rhonda, my brother and I have been doing air-to-air photography (primarily Reno Air Races) for quite some time. We invited Sport Class (world speed record holder) pilot John Parker to our AirFest to demonstrate his "Thunder Mustang". He also brought his Piper Senecca, a twin-engined business plane w/ the barn door missing from the side. We strap in & hang out (just short of the breeze) & take pictures while making a slight but steady righthand turn so the planes can get real close. Very exciting and fun!! ;-)) The cost depends on what type of a/c... Shooting warbirds means you need something perty fast, so $300 per hr. is not uncommon...

Years ago I booked a ride in a P51 for my late husband and it was $300.00 at the Chino airport in CA.

Do you know Danny Summers or John Bagley? They are local plane enthusiats, in fact John just opened an air museum in Rexburg, Idaho called the Legacy Air Museum, you can find the web site. John has several planes 2 of which are P51's and Danny has a few warbirds one is a Skyraider can't remember the others. John races in the Reno air race so I thought maybe you'd know him?
