Very cool! It'll be 5 years on April 15th 2024 that Alex took me on my first tandem HALO jump at 28,300 ft. I had a blast. Something I'll never forget!!!
@@wf3363 If you're seriously interested, hit me up in my DM. I'm the Tandem Instructor for the jumps. We do: Regular Skydives, No O2 14,500ft -$355.00-(45sec freefall) (Includes pics and video from outside videographer) **Only Drop Zone in the world that goes to 41K** HALO O2 Skydives: 28,000ft- $5,000.00-(1min, 45sec) 36,000ft- $65,000.00 -(2min, 17sec) 41,000ft- $100,000.00 -(3min freefall) No Risk, No Reward No Risk, No Story Who Dares, Wins
The equipment needed for 40,000 feet is the majority of the cost, special aircraft that you can open the doors on at that altitude, they have to have a sealed cockpit or the pilot needs to be on oxygen also.
Lets see. Average air temperature at 40,000 is -70F. Terminal velocity is 120 mph. So 120 mph wind. That means the wind chill during this freefall is around -150F. That means these guys got a bit cold on this one! Great video! Just falling out of the sky with 2 of my besties!
I did mine on my 80th birthday April 2023 and how EPIC and Phenomenal that was and my pilot caught MOMENTon video- would do it AGAIN from that !7,000 feet !!!!!
When Joe Kittinger jumped from 102,000 feet he said he felt nothing. He looked up a thought the ballon had suddenly taken off into outer space, but it was him falling, yet because there was no wind resistance he felt nothing. That would be awesome!
One fellow of my skydiving Club (Long ago now I am old) was one of the first or the first who jumped from 10.000 m without Oxygen . He was not a reckless person but well trained and all was well considered.
I thought no way a turboprop would get up to 42,000 ft. but a quick search revealed the PA-42 Cheyenne 400 could. Well it was limited to 41000' but that is because max. differential on the pressurisation, which wasn't required for the jump. Nice video.
Congratulations for this fantastic jump ... I was wondering which biturboprop is able to reach such an altitude . I thought I recognised a Beechcraft super king but windows have a different shape on your plane. So I'm very curious to know which plane has allowed you to perform your record.
@@onelifetorisk Thank you for answering my question. In the light of it, I understand better the choice of this plane to accomplish your extraordinary record. This plane itself has extraordinary performances which were pushed by a legendary pilot . An extract from what I discovered on wikipedia: The 400LS made aviation history on 16 April 1985 by setting two new time-to-climb records for its class (C-1e Group 2, 3000m and 9,000m) and shattering two time-to-climb records for all turboprop classes (6,000m and 12,000m): with retired United States Air Force Brigadier General Chuck Yeager at the helm of N400PS (with co-pilot Renald "Dav" Davenport flying right-seat), the aircraft departed from Portland-Hillsboro Airport's Runway 31L, immediately reached a 5,959-foot-per-minute climbout and achieved its 3,000m record in 1 minute, 47.6 seconds; the 6,000m record in 3 minutes, 42.0 seconds; its 9,000m record at 6 minutes, 34.6 seconds; the 12,000m record at 11 minutes, 8.3 seconds (time-to-altitude records were captured by on-board video camera aimed at relevant panel gauges, timed with superimposed timer; also verified by Hillsboro Airport tower personnel via radar, using encoded altimeter data transmitted from aircraft to tower via transponder). Other records later set by the 400LS, again piloted by Yeager in 400LS N4118Y (later reregistered as N46HL) for the C-1e Group 2 class, were: Miami-to-Boston, Miami-to-New York City, San Francisco-to-Charleston, West Virginia, San Francisco-to-Cincinnati, San Francisco-to-Los Angeles, New York City-to-Paris, Washington, DC-to-Paris and Gander-Paris.
@onelifetorisk There was a part where I was expecting you to deploy. Ground was clearly starting to rush up. Not jumped for years. Going to do some freefall hopefully next year. Cheers for reply. Stay safe.
I never skydived before… but I am an airborne guy out of fort Bragg NC… out of 63 jumps I can say this…. I think I would love to pull the cord as high as possible…. I love the ride down…. Now I want a powered paraglider.
Such fun and overwhelming impressions. Fantastic Pics. Thanks. You are behaving well . How were the Temperatures at all that altitudes. Please some more technical background. Thank you so much for that Take
usually 3 to 5 degree drop per thousand feet of altitude, i think above 20000 its always 50 below zero. and the rate of descend i would think is much higher because of the thin air.
Great question! No, we didn't receive any kind of wind burn or frost bite to our exposed faces. We were heavily bundled up with multiple layers to include battery operated socks, gloves, and vest.
@NUTTSwagger Yes, Sir!! Thank you for entrusting me with your life! I hope you had a good time and I made you feel safe and at ease.🙏🙏 Also, I appreciate you supporting my UA-cam channel. 🫡
I see one jumper with an old school phone cord coming out from his left hip to the end of his left (altimeter side) wrist. What is the purpose for that ? Would you consider that an entanglement issue during a cut away ? There have been higher exit points. Was the record for highest 3 way ?
That cord is a push to talk switch that runs to a radio for communication. I would not consider it a snag hazard, it would simply pull away. This was the highest 3 way on record, there are no higher claimed jumps in the USA except for the 100,000 + altitude jumps made from the helium balloons, and those were solo drougefall jumps.
Thanks Mike. I was thinking Johnney Florez's wingsuit jump was over 40k, but it was not. 9 minutes of flight though. My best was an 18,000 ft. six way wingsuit jump. Not much, but still a good time.@@michaelmullins8328
You have to break zero g. Our ozone skims the solar wind into a blue haze. At the point which you no longer free fall is the point the sunn doesn't turn the sky blue for you. That's a scientific and existential point to think upon
I must admit I just don't understand. You have the absolute unique chance of jumping at that height. It's a once in a life time experience for the vast majority of skydivers in this world. And all you do is a 3-way figure for 3mn. Why didn't you plan anything else more fun ??? Maybe I'm missing something, but that would have been the most wonderful angle jump of my life if that was me.
It's already deep into the 80's here in Texas and I just took a break from doing yard work... Best cooling off video ever!!! I was shivering by the time you all jumped.. ;) Any idea what terminal velocity you might have hit up top in the thinner air? Regardless! Really cool! Thanks for sharing!
In order to be HALO World Record....it's Not Only feet high jump...it's also feet at opening. For those who have not mentioned HALO means H= High A= Altitude L= Low O= opening . Everybody is excited about height...What altitude did they open at?? That is HALO. Otherwise it's just a high altitude jump.
I think they opened about 5,000 ft. as I recall, probably higher than necessary to set a "low" jump record. I heard over 25 years ago about a military team that would practice jumping at 25K ft and open at 1,500 ft. at night. It's the low altitude opening at night that takes the nads of special people. @@psgsurferm8202
Hardly anyone gets to freefall from this altitude, but I'm aware of wheelchair users doing tandem skydives. If you really want to experience it, you might want to make some enquiries at a nearby centre. Good luck! 🙂
this footage is incredble!! BRAVO ON MANY FRONTS HERE!! that view was spectacular and thank you for sharing!! dont get that perspective unless you seek it and honestly i wish more would
Just a question for you if I may? We used to jump with 6 minute walk round bottles on MFF but I can't remember the Litreage? How large are your bottles at 42,000?
Well? If I may put it this way, both altitudes you list are considered High Altitude. Any altitude over 10,000 is considered HA in both Parachuting and Mountaineering. Some people have a condition known as an Altitude Ceiling which effects mountaineers more than Parachutists. Hypoxia of course is a danger in parachuting and High Altitude sickness in mountaineering... The speed and risk of going hypoxic does of course increase with altitude. UK Military used to attend a training day at RAF North Luffenham back in the day at the aeronautical medical training establishment where they were shown and experienced the effects of hypoxia..! I still have my certificate😅😅
@@joealphons5772 you're welcome Joe because you are asking a good question. I'm an old guy mate, so old, that when I started my HALO career I jumped on Spitfire Aircraft altimeters🤣🤣🤣 I suspect a lot has changed now and of course I ll stand corrected from the younger generation. I still remain a member of a commemorative jumps team (Round Canopy) the ACJT but I haven't free-falled in years. Stay frosty mate🪂👍👍
What plane are you saying this was done from? Since FL350 is max for a King Air it must have been struggling and nearing compressibility of max and stall speeds. What mods were done to reach FL420 in a turbo prop?
It is a Cheyenne 400LS, which is certified to a baro altitude of 41,000'. The GPS altitude is used for the record, in this case the GPS altitude was 42,255'. The Cheyenne 400 does not struggle to reach these altitudes, it has 1,675 HP per side. Chuck Yeager set the time to climb records for this class of turboprop, and all turboprops, in 1985, records still stand: 3k meters, 9842’, 1min, 45 sec, 5184 fpm 6k meters, 19685’, 3 min, 43 sec, 5320 fpm 9k meters, 29527’, 6 min, 34 sec, 4413 fpm 12k meters, 39370’, 11 min, 8 sec, 3546 fpm
Say the little rubber nose peace is so you can plug your nose with your hand and blow pressure into your ears as needed. I didn’t really see anyone doing that. Really do it as often as you like on a decent! It’s the going back up that naturally release air from the ears. That takes a little time and a yuan or too. Going down? That’s what they put the rubber there for. Hey thanks for the video! Awesome!
The reason for the "weird" edit: The first part of the video shows the entire freefall UNCUT for the viewer to see and time the actual length of the freefall, which was just shy of 3minutes. There were two other jumpers in the video and they also deserved some screentime, so they were added after the first UNCUT freefall view. That's why it showed them in higher freefall later in the video. There's also some views purposely showing one of the jumper's altimeters around 29,000ft, another shot around 19,000ft, and then shows the altimeter steadily counting down.
I have 8 solo jumps. I got into skydiving because I love the canopy ride. Not so much jumping out of a plane haha. If I was on this jump I'd probably pull right away and end up freezing to death
After doing a little research I found that the technical specs for the Piper Cheyenne 400lS indicates it has a "service ceiling" of 41,000 ft. That's not it's absolute altitude capability, but the height at which it will climb at 100 ft/minute under standard conditions at gross weight. Thus, when it's loaded with less than gross weight, it can climb at 100 ft/min. to an even higher altitude. So 42,666 ft was likely the GPS altitude read on this particular day when the plane was loaded at less than gross weight. It likely had enough fuel to fly that high with sufficient reserves for a safe return to an airport directly below it. A very well planned mission. @@raymondherbst7126
It definitely will, it is certified to 41,000' baro altitude, I am the pilot and I have been to 41,000' numerous times. The altitude of 42,266' was the GPS altitude, and the GPS altitude is what is used for the record altitudes.
If you really are the pilot, I'm very impressed with what you did. If not, I'm still impressed with the true pilot. I tend to believe you. Nice video. @@michaelmullins8328

Terminal velocity would be considerably higher in thin air, at that altitude.
Buts also much thinner air so it doesn't feel the same
@@giespel68came to say the same thing
You forgot about air density and its role in terminal velocity as well as the “winds’” chilling effect
Great jump! Almost 3 minutes of free-fall - I am so jealous!!!
I think it was way more than 3 minutes of free fall
Finally a song that’s worth while and suits the video. All love from the bluegrass state brother !!!!
8 miles high by the Byrds would have been good also.
Lol! No.
Great Free Bird
Beautiful jump, the sky is so blue, the limit of the horizon is sharp. Beautiful images.

That's a 'Point Break's length free fall ! Awesome 👍
I found it kinda boring how they spent the whole free fall pretty much just holding hands. Especially with all that free fall time.
Nice.
That is too funny
True American badasses!!! God bless y’all and your families.
Thank you!!🙏🙏🙏
Who was the guy with no gloves?? Did he even have fingers left when he landed? Waaaay too cold for me, but you guys have fun, okay?
That was the oxygen jumpmaster, he did not jump, he took his gloves off to have maximum dexterity in turning the other jumpers oxygen valves on.
I had the same thought at first!
Chuck Yeager set climb records in a Cheyenne 400LS, beast of an aircraft and only 44 built.
When Joe Kittinger jumped from 102,000 feet he said he felt nothing. He looked up a thought the ballon had suddenly taken off into outer space, but it was him falling, yet because there was no wind resistance he felt nothing. That would be awesome!

How did you get a turboprop up to that altitude? And did he beat you on the way down?
He has to take it down slow on the extreme HALO O2 jumps, so he lands shortly after we land.

Well? If I may put it this way, both altitudes you list are considered High Altitude. Any altitude over 10,000 is considered HA in both Parachuting and Mountaineering. Some people have a condition known as an Altitude Ceiling which effects mountaineers more than Parachutists. Hypoxia of course is a danger in parachuting and High Altitude sickness in mountaineering... The speed and risk of going hypoxic does of course increase with altitude. UK Military used to attend a training day at RAF North Luffenham back in the day at the aeronautical medical training establishment where they were shown and experienced the effects of hypoxia..! I still have my certificate😅😅
@@carldowd406 Thanks bud! Cheers.
@@joealphons5772 you're welcome Joe because you are asking a good question. I'm an old guy mate, so old, that when I started my HALO career I jumped on Spitfire Aircraft altimeters🤣🤣🤣 I suspect a lot has changed now and of course I ll stand corrected from the younger generation. I still remain a member of a commemorative jumps team (Round Canopy) the ACJT but I haven't free-falled in years. Stay frosty mate🪂👍👍
Military unit?
What plane are you saying this was done from? Since FL350 is max for a King Air it must have been struggling and nearing compressibility of max and stall speeds.
What mods were done to reach FL420 in a turbo prop?
It is a Cheyenne 400LS, which is certified to a baro altitude of 41,000'. The GPS altitude is used for the record, in this case the GPS altitude was 42,255'. The Cheyenne 400 does not struggle to reach these altitudes, it has 1,675 HP per side. Chuck Yeager set the time to climb records for this class of turboprop, and all turboprops, in 1985, records still stand:
3k meters, 9842’, 1min, 45 sec, 5184 fpm
6k meters, 19685’, 3 min, 43 sec, 5320 fpm
9k meters, 29527’, 6 min, 34 sec, 4413 fpm
12k meters, 39370’, 11 min, 8 sec, 3546 fpm
Say the little rubber nose peace is so you can plug your nose with your hand and blow pressure into your ears as needed. I didn’t really see anyone doing that. Really do it as often as you like on a decent! It’s the going back up that naturally release air from the ears. That takes a little time and a yuan or too. Going down? That’s what they put the rubber there for. Hey thanks for the video! Awesome!
Great stuff. slightly weird how the video circle back to higher altitude have way through. I would re-cut that, to be more accurately chronological
The reason for the "weird" edit:
The first part of the video shows the entire freefall UNCUT for the viewer to see and time the actual length of the freefall, which was just shy of 3minutes.
There were two other jumpers in the video and they also deserved some screentime, so they were added after the first UNCUT freefall view.
That's why it showed them in higher freefall later in the video.
There's also some views purposely showing one of the jumper's altimeters around 29,000ft, another shot around 19,000ft, and then shows the altimeter steadily counting down.
Awesome!!!
Whats the solo world record HALO jump?
Beautiful jump. The sun looks white in the sky.
I have 8 solo jumps. I got into skydiving because I love the canopy ride. Not so much jumping out of a plane haha. If I was on this jump I'd probably pull right away and end up freezing to death
Lol!🤣
Kool, watching the altimeter.
@bloodyspartan300 Thanks for being one of the few to notice.
I purposely put that view in for that reason.
Flat earthers watching this video and going 🤐when they see the CURVE OF THE EARTH and the 3:48 mark. 🤣
It is curved a little bit… but not a sphere
That was so cool! I wish i could do that one day
I have two questions
On pulling early...
How long could you possibly stay under canopy before landing?
And, how far could you track laterally?
about a minute per thousand feet of altitude
I wouldn't have guessed a Piper Cheyenne turboprop would get up to that altitude.
It has a great engine installation - Honeywell TPE331-14.
It won’t
After doing a little research I found that the technical specs for the Piper Cheyenne 400lS indicates it has a "service ceiling" of 41,000 ft. That's not it's absolute altitude capability, but the height at which it will climb at 100 ft/minute under standard conditions at gross weight. Thus, when it's loaded with less than gross weight, it can climb at 100 ft/min. to an even higher altitude. So 42,666 ft was likely the GPS altitude read on this particular day when the plane was loaded at less than gross weight. It likely had enough fuel to fly that high with sufficient reserves for a safe return to an airport directly below it. A very well planned mission. @@raymondherbst7126
It definitely will, it is certified to 41,000' baro altitude, I am the pilot and I have been to 41,000' numerous times. The altitude of 42,266' was the GPS altitude, and the GPS altitude is what is used for the record altitudes.
If you really are the pilot, I'm very impressed with what you did. If not, I'm still impressed with the true pilot. I tend to believe you. Nice video. @@michaelmullins8328
Nice job!👍
D
Mais dommage, j'aurai aimé connaître l'altitude au fur et à mesure de la durée de la chute.
Are these guys military? Awesome soundtrack!
That was a hot 3-way
Brilliant, well done, must be an amazing feeling!
That's living!
Perfect!
From an old Marine chute rigger😊😊😊😊❤❤
This was dope 🤙🤙
❤So appreciated
The earth looks kinda round in several frames, or is it just the camera?
And then a commercial airliner comes out of nowhere at 30k and ruins your day. 😂
