I'm looking for some good footage of Bailouts from the Cockpit, maybe even 1st Person. Maybe out of a Glider or so.

I saw that happen in real life, saw the flames at a distance,  I didn't know what it was initially until I saw it on the news.

zero? And the pilot of the second plane???

 

second plane landed safely, everyone else bailed out including the pilot of the burning aircraft.

ok good. These light planes were not build to carry 3 people on its wing, the pilots should lose their license, imho.

I think it's quite a safe and excepted thing to do. I'm thinking the wing spa may have been damaged because they came together quite slowly. Mabye the extra weight on the wing plus the coming together did it

Yeah I don't think it was the skydivers that broke off the wing, generally aircraft don't like making contact with each other.

You don't really need to contact ATC when flying VFR inside a Class E or G airspace. Assuming the video shown is...

Not even when towing a ultralight ?

 

That's whan happens, the guy hits the towing cable of the other pair.

If i am correct and saw it right there is one front left being towed, you can see it clearly. Probably the plane we are inside of is also a towing craft and suddenly out of the nether comes another one ?

 

Maybe rules are different between EU and USA regarding that...

 

The chute worked fine thank God.
