Wet blanket time. While the scenery and stick & rudder skills are both incredible, there should a be a disclaimer: "Don't try this at home!" The line between what can be done and what shouldn't be done is too fine.

Re: Old Guys Flyin Idaho's just like a Kid at Disneyland

Nice video Pops.

If people can't discern between what they can do and shouldn't do, then maybe they shouldn't be flying planes. Sorry, just tired of the lack of common sense in society today. My favorite is "Caution - Hot Coffee". If it weren't for the peripheral effect of an aviation accident (effect on public perception and insuring aircraft), I'd simply say let Darwinism run its course.

Give me a shout if you want to adopt another son. I wanna go to Idaho, too!

Awesome video. Maybe that should get posted to the "how do I hydroplanning the wheels thread"...

I'm with you, Cory!

My other favorite is buying bags of ice at a Publix grocery store (I think they are mostly back east). On the bottom of the bag it says: "For best results, Keep Frozen". ](*,)

I'm thinking, "Really??"

:D

I bought a new chain saw once and it said "do not attempt to stop the chain with your hands" :shock: I shit you not.

We should all be able to do what we want and be totally responsible for our actions/\

I would disagree
I've seen pops fly, I don't think anything in that video was anything other than some relaxing fun for him.

If its to much for someone else to do that's doesn't mean they can't enjoy watching him do it.

In Vegas I once watched a guy jump a motorcycle up on to the top of a tall building. Was really fun to watch, when I got home my motorcycle was sitting in the garage...... I didn't start building a ramp :roll:

Re: Old Guys Flyin Idaho's just like a Kid at Disneyland

I don't have a problem with those who have the skills, using them. I just fear that there are those out there who really need to be warned that it's not as easy as some people make it look. Then they go out and try it, they aren't all that skilled, and they usually take someone with them when they crash. Maybe it is a bit like the hot coffee etc. warnings, which ought to be obvious. However, I do not understand why wearing a Superman outfit won't allow me to fly! :)

If it looks easy...it's not. Something called skill and we DO NOT all have the same skill set!

Re: Old Guys Flyin Idaho's just like a Kid at Disneyland

Sitting here waiting for the lake fog to burn off and that my friend put a smile on my face to watch someone else having some fun with their boy. Keep posting and I'll keep watching. Thanks for making my morning while trying not to spill my "HOT" coffee. I think I'll get the gopro mounted, maybe on the float?
