As God is my witness, I thought rappers could fly. Even though I knew it was coming, that was still good for hearty chuckle. ;^]

I wonder what was he thinking even in designing such a stunt. Just seems like Hollywood and Youtubers just keep trying to outdo the latest trend of dangerous and stupid stunts in order to get attention.

High drag at one wingtip. What could go wrong?

Apparently they didn't train him to let go of the plane.....he hung on to a nose diving plane til too late to open his parachute.

Probably the funniest episode of comedy during the 70s and definitely top ten of all time.

Ok, I get to tell a true story. As a younger pilot and skydiver (back in the 80’s, and not simultaneously), I had many thousands of skydives, and executed several such stunts, both as the pilot and wing walker. Another skydiver/pilot cohort of mine flew when I played outside, and I flew for his turn at it. I have many photos sitting on the leading edge of various aircraft wings before front flipping off the plane and opening the parachute. On one occasion, I was flying and my associate was going to climb out on the wing for take some pics for his ‘glory’ wall. Except he failed to remember that the control authority of the planes ailerons is designed for balanced weight. When he got out about 8 feet or father from the fuselage, the plane started rolling and diving and it was beyond any stick movement for me to correct. Fortunately we started this stunt at about 6000 ft and after a loss of about 3000 feet, he let go, cleared the tail and deployed. I then recovered the plane. In retrospect, not our brightest day, but one to remember for sure.
My flying is much more conservative these days. :)

There was a related scene in “The Great Waldo Pepper”, with a frightened girl clinging to the strut of the barnstormer’s biplane.
At least this pilot recovered & landed safely.

McMurray failed to open his parachute because he held on to the plane for too long I though he walked out there, so how did he hold on too long after the plane went into a downward spiral? I would think that initial dip into the spiral would have thrown him off of the wing.
To: Gamecock
Two words that do not go together....”Canadian” and “rapper”.
