Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms supersonic freefall

120, 000 ft

He made it through the sound barrier - What a guy

Unbelievable.

Who'd have thought you could achieve all of this through the sale of energy drinks.

Fantastic! I just managed to catch the moments before he opened the shute to when he landed safely.

I eventually found some Reality TV
Just incredible viewing it took me back to when some of us stayed up and watched Neil utter his immortal words on the Moon.

Yes they bought us Jetman too before Breitling wrote a bigger cheque !

This technology and level of courage surely has to encourage a few more of our youngsters into the Sciences

Can't stand the drink even with Vodka but just hoping they bring back Red Bull Air Races next year I'm missing them.

Sure, but thats down here around sea level.
At 30,000 ft + for example where its a lot colder, it is about 590.
Presumably thats why he goes so much higher than that, and with less drag as well he can reach the local speed of sound quite quickly.

Hi Bulldog

He topped 725mph in the Stratosphere pretty crazy and fiercely brave stuff.

Wow

I jumped off the wardrobe last night 2631mm to the Bed, where i landed, our lass wet her pants watching me free fall passed the lightshade

To be fair you achieved the same rate of acceleration as the nutter who broke the sound barrier! [All credit too him]
