A 'real' aviation :-)

July 18, 2011, 12:09:59 PM Last Edit: July 18, 2011, 03:39:01 PM by Flying_Fox

I just returned from 2 weeks vacation in Cuba and wanted to share some 'real'

aviation that I did there - namely skydiving.

Jumped in tandem with the instructor from the Soviet helicopter Mi-17 at 3000 m.
35 seconds of free fall - what a thrill! Landed right at our hotel's (Melia Las Antillas) beach in Varadero.

Here are two screenshots from the video and the full video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgBiGim60Fk
