The Porter doesn't fly that often.
At a busy dropzone like Perris, we just fill Twin Otters all day long.
Last week it did get some use as Luigi Cani worked on a stunt at his favorite DZ - our own Perris CA.
Luigi decided to do a little formation flying with an L-39 jet.
Of course the Porter isn't really fast enought to form up with a jet, so Luigi decided on another plan. He jumped out of the Porter and formed up in freefall wearing a wingsuit. So did his two cameramen.
See the little dots next to the jet? Yeah, that's them.
The stunt was sponsored by TNT (hence the TNT Enegry drink logo on the Porter) and it was all videotaped for future use. It'll turn up on one of those extreme sport shows or something, no doubt.
Here's some more info on Luigi with a lot of stuff from Perris. Check it out.
