I am working on an opera for BM 08, it may happen, it may not, if it does, is it a bad idea to want to include skydivers in the plotline? Is it a bad idea to think 2 people diving into a performance setting dressed as avenging angels is not a great idea?

Okay, Snarky answer.
Check with Airport Management

Good luck! I've always enjoyed your shows.

Thu, January 31, 2008 - 12:15 AMYeah, the more I think on it, the worse an idea it seems, but you never know, folks jumping out dressed as avenging angels towards a performance with a 25 foot tall flaming alarm clock may be just the thing.... -

Sun, March 9, 2008 - 4:46 PMThere are many jumpers who can land within a pre-designated small area and pros who can literally touch down on a quarter size dot repeatedly. So it is doable, but there are considerations. The playa can kick up some nasty winds which would obviously makes things tricky. The approach would be a concern with respect to flying over people and also nearby tall art projects need to be considered. The jumpers would need to land into the wind just as with any other aircraft approach.
The tribe mentioned below is a good place to post, but the main site is;
www.burningsky.org
This is where the message forums are and you can post info there which will get to a much bigger list of jumpers.
As for "Most of us pilots is too smart to jump out of the plane", , , , ,
"Riding in an aircraft is as much like flying as riding in a boat is like swimming.
You can't truly experience the medium from inside a vehicle":))
