Cool to see how the first day “unsuccessful” lessons sank in and you got the brain and body to connect. I had the sense that tiny shits would make a big difference laterally but it’s surprising how small movements look to make a huge difference vertically. I’ve never jumped out of a plane but given there’s one of these wind tunnels minutes away I don’t have much excuse to not try it. Looks like a blast.
You should try it! And you're correct, the tiniest movements have big effects, that's why it's so hard.
cool kerry - never wanted to jump out of the plane i was flying - and wouldn't, unless a wing or part of my tail was gone.
You don't know what you're missing! But I get that it's not for everyone.
This looks like something one can spend their whole life perfecting... I'm not clear on the practical application, but not everything has one :)
It definitely takes a lifetime to master the tunnel but Claire is pretty close. Training in the tunnel is a valuable tool in learning to skydive though.
Awesome video! Always be learning!
Thanks for watching!
Great video Kerry! Glad to see Claire in a video again! I only know her from your show Dangerous Flights but I also think skydiving just doesn’t count in a wind tunnel I’d rather try it via the sky! I imagine you’re going to Oshkosh 2024 this year? I hope to possibly meet you if so! 😅
Cheers 🥂

The wind tunnel is fun but skydiving is funner! I'll definitely be at Oshkosh this year!
@@KerryDMcCauley Excellent! I figured! 😆
I'd love to do this but I'm disabled and overweight. The overweight thing I can fix.
If you're really interested go to the nearest tunnel and ask the staff. They can take almost anybody!
That's it! if you are going back, I am going with you! What a blast Kerry. You told me about this place, but now I neeeed to do this. This could get addicting. Love the video, great to see Claire too, say Hi.
You should do it, it's a BLAST!
Well done! It's great to hear that super experienced skydivers like you are eager to hone other skills too!
Got to keep learning!
Incredible
I wanted to puke just watching you kids! Thanks for the videos!
You can definitely get dizzy in the tunnel!
Sorry, I cannot make it past the garbage music in the beginning. I may come back to this channel later.
Yeah, I didn't pick the greatest music for that one!
@@KerryDMcCauley Respect, Sir... I will continue to watch :)
