NTSB and FAA Investigating Failed Red Bull Plane Swap
Both Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have announced that they would be investigating the attempted Red Bull plane swap in Arizona which led to one of the aircraft crashing... (www.aviationweekly.org) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Duh… the only constant in aviation is one up manship..
Darwin Awards coming up…. maybe there was some thought put into this after all.

Gentleman & Ladies, this thread is filling with hate towards stupidity. I want to say most of us are unable to understand the mind of a parachutist. These adrenaline junkies must have been under extreme pressure from the Corporation RED BULL who sponsors these type of stunts ALL DAY LONG. On this occasion it must have been costing RED BULL upty up dollars a day for this "hollywood" stunt. These two pilots should never be allowed to fly again, the danger & risk to the public was off the charts & I know some body will say "it had an autoplit" an autopliot which failed. However, if they can redue this stunt with an autopilot which will self land the $299K C-182 that would be awesome.. Maybe next time fly down to puerto penasco & do the stunt over sea of Cortez. My thought is FAA will suspend for 6 months the license of one pilot, maybe both. They are not NASA, but what they do CAN benefit aviation in future, when down with more focus on SAFETY, everybodies safety.
Good God, what a horribly written article. Is English not the author's first language or is this just more of what we've come to expect from "journalists" these days??
What's to investigate? Ridiculous, unapproved stunt went sideways. Wonder if the "pilots" and Red Bull still think it was worth it?
