BTW look at the date, I was a bit more reckless back then when I originally made this thread. I have a feeling there will be plenty of pics when and if it happens. It's not on my immediate go do list, but attempting it hasn't left my head yet.

If someone could do the same stuff as him and land it we would have bender replaced

I do watch the current vids...heck I have even talked to him. ...but my statement is still true. He still goes bigger than everyone. His scaled down is 30 to 40 ft.
