repairing a missing wheel in air... ... ... .....



Oshkosh 365 - Discussion Boards - Video: Mid-Air Repair

 

[Grunt]

"Gutsy" is the first word that came to mind

 

[Skydiver]

That gives me chills. No body in their right mind would do that.

 

[AMink]

I don't think OSHA would approve.

 

[RHestand]

That is incredible!
Just to add a little more drama to this daring feat, the wings she's walking on are only covered with a heavy cloth and paint/dope over ribs and spars. One miss placed step and her foot could go right through the wing.
Also kudos to the pilots. Believe me it's no small chore to keep an airplane flying straight and level while having a 120-130lb. woman walk out to your wingtip.

discussing the weight of a woman is more DANGEROUS than changine a tire mid-air
