  • This is by far the most insane video I have ever had the opportunity to live through and make! what was literally the coldest I have ever been which is surprising considering I ice dive, and this is the highest I have ever been outside a plane! god is amazing and im sure heaven will be 10x this view! can't wait till the next wild adventure. and for everyone wondering this was all done in completely legal airspace!
    Thankful for Susie my Beautiful Girlfriend and her Mom for coming out and supporting me!

Wonder how high you can go without forced induction? And how high you can go without getting a serious headache from less oxygen at altitude...bundle up and show us more, put in a light soundtrack in the background and many of us will enjoy it thoroughly.

I stood there just taking it all in and realized those mountains were there long before me and will be there long after I'm gone. It kind of put my daily worries in perspective as to exactly how insignificant they truly are in the scope of the world. It was a moment to remember. On a different note, the air is pretty thin at that altitude. Did it have any impact on the fuel air settings of the carb? Thin air can be a real problem for a normally aspirated engine.

      As a PPG pilot myself, its not the height that gets me as that just gives me more time to fix a problem(175ft or 17,500ft you are a dead man anyway). Its the higher winds, cold, and the disappearing we use to pilot out of isolations. With no instruments in front of us it can get disorienting as the winds move the glider around.

    My first jump in Vietnam was from 2200 feet. I was so scared that I couldn't even spit. My next jump seemed routine. My lowest jump was 850 feet, which kind of worried me if the chute would open, but it did without hesitation. My grandson knew that I had parachuted in the Marines and he wanted me to go with him to the classes at the local airfield, so I did. I never knew that he expected me to jump with him. I was 64 at the time and never jumped since the war, but I did it just for him. We jumped from 900 feet. I was kind of afraid, but I put my faith in God and whoever folded my chute.

    Chucky...This is without a doubt one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. So much work behind the scenes had to have gone into this production. No words really. Just hanging from practically nothing at 17,500 feet without an aircraft around you. Are you never afraid that the parachute will just fold up in the wind someday? I don't know where your nerve comes from? I'm 68 years old and I couldn't climb to 200 feet let alone what you have done here. My uncle worked at North American Aviation at Downy California wiring the Command Module that took men to the moon for the first time. Your wiring there made me think about him today and wondering what he would think of this feat. Thanks Chucky. Stay safe.

      @@ChuckyWright okay airspace fair enough, but what about your altimeter setting and your transponder. Assuming you're in the states or even EU you're legally required to have one. (Mode C output if you know what that is). Hypoxia is very dangerous at FL 180 so if you claim to be that high idk how you're breathing without side effects including feeling of being drunk off the lack of air. I won't go onto the video itself but it looks like you're about half the altitude you say you are given off the flights I have done.
      You've also flown through a cloud, unless youre pulling out an FAA license with an IFR to permit IMC for that I don't know how the agency will Feel about that. Feel free to debunk anything I say though. (You should have altimeter especially as breaching commercial airspace is very illegal)
