| When stepping into Carl Brownd's hangar, you'll find the typical items, such as caps received as gifts, photos proudly displayed and aircraft oil. Brownd is a pilot, but also has a keen eye for photography. Mounted on the loft railing is a large picture he took of Joe Thibodeau's Race 21 P-51 Mustang, taken from John Zayac's T-6 Race 12, against the backdrop of Mount Evans. This photo is also displayed in the Perfect Landing Restaurant at Centennial Airport. Hanging next to it is a photo of an ominous-looking shark, swimming in bright blue water. Brownd took that photo while scuba diving, when the shark was just a few feet above his head. |

Are you a skydiver? What if you could free fall forever? What a rush. What efficiency. You could perfect maneuvers in a fraction of the time of your chums, who are limited by free-fall intervals measured in seconds-per-hour, while your free falls are measured in minutes-per-hour.
Sounds like a pipedream, right? In a way it is, but the pipe is a big one, and it has huge fans attached. It's a wind tunnel and more specifically, a vertical wind tunnel used solely for levitating people. |
