I remember those insane photos from atop the the skyscraper ( I believe it was the Empire State ) of the steelworkers lounging around on the open girder frame? This was the dude that took that photo.

Phuck Dat.

For some reason I can no longer see embeded Twitter posts. Not sure what happened.

He gets style points for the shoes.

Here's one of the photos he took. It almost looks tame compared to what he had to do to get the shot.

Thanks. Yeah, the dude was a little brave and a lot crazy.

12-15 feet? Still too high for me.

One day while in Thailand my sergeant ordered me to install a rudder curtain on a EB-66. We didn't have anything that could go up that high where I could work safely so I was "forced" to stand on the horizontal stablilizer. Since it wasn't the safest place to be without a platform I had to hold on to the vertical stabilizer with my left hand and work the screws that held the curtain with my right hand. If that wasn't hard enough my sergeant thought it would be funny to work the elevator button that moves the whole horizontal stab. When I felt that stab move I fell on my knees and held on for dear life. I could hear his cackling from inside the cockpit and he could hear my swearing at him in turn.

Ah, fun times.

He was just as insane as they were.
