I went to Winterberg at the weekend to do this;


That is me in the red jacket. It was a birthday present. 60 of the most violent and turbulent seconds of my life...........and well worth it and the only way to pull 5.5G without strapping a fighter to my backside, oh, done that too

Anyway as the title says, in a car park in the mountains just outside Winterberg, we found these;

Now that would just make me happy as could be. 8-)

Great pics of them too. The snow covering them gives them that sleeping beast look.

And that looks like one fun ride in the first pic.

Well, that's different. Nice one.

the only way to pull 5.5G without strapping a fighter to my backside,

Or an aerobatic type like the Extra 300 - without the G-suit.

Nice find....but you're a little crazy IMO

Great stuff!
At first I thought #1 and #2 may be related. Sort of  a went from this (bobsled) to this (helo ride to hospital).

Wooooow... that must have been one crazy ride down!  :o

Love those old skool fighters! Great collection!

[MWISimmer]

Excellent stuff Matt.. I'm highly jealous of the bobsleigh run.

Too cool. I wonder if I could put an offer on the Flogger.

More picture of the Bobsled Ride, like expressions on your face (before and after).  That had to be a thrill.  Mark
