Here is a little feature on my friend – Tim “the Cook” – videoman a la carte. I must have spent several hours in the air with this guy, as he is on the spot for almost every single tandem jump I’ve had in the past.

Hanging on! – the “no landing gear exit”

It is always exiting to see how long Tim can hang on to the wing strut while the pilot retracts the landing gear and I climb out with the passenger. I think the current record is about 35 seconds – with Tim just clinging to the strut. I guess hoping for a quick exit…? Or perhaps he is getting into a new fitness idea?

Great shots – capturing the moment

Here’s Tim at “work”

Why videoman a la carte?

As you will learn in Part 2 of this feature, Tim is going to explain what these Carlsberg beer cans are doing up these chickens a….
