More Fling-Wing Fun!

My Canyon Run post last week evidently inspired JMH, the Castle's Resident Treadhead, TechnoToy Expert, and Maple-Syrup Maven, to heightened Googling efforts.

In case my vid gave you the view-from-the-cockpit bug, here's one that'll give you the full dangling-from-the-skid-and-flapping-in-the-breeze experience.

And it's interactive, to show you how you'd feel if you forgot to stabilize yourself in the slipstream.

No maple trees or red plaid shirts were harmed during the making of this video.

H/t JMH, aka the Minicapt.

Now that was wikked kewl!!  The segments running downriver are very reminiscent of days spent riding back to base after long days on the fire lines. 
Granted we weren't allowed to hang by the skids during flight.....dagnabbit!

BTW, I was looking  for the womp  rats in your canyon run vid and didn't see them.  Did they just go by too fast to be aquired in my tri-focals?
