Hell you should see me cleaning out my gutters on the second floor roof! (America's most funny vidio winner for sure)
Nice pic though but I will pass on the offer to take your next wing pic

Great picture...Good thing the pilot remembered to turn off the left engine for the nice free fallers.

The main reason the engine is shut off is not so much because of the nuts outside the plane, as for cleanliness, the Beechcraft Model 18 (often called the Twin Beech) was powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney Wasp Junior engines which are notorious for barfing oil out the back end of them.

Those nuts wear gear that is probably worth $5,000, possibly a lot more, they don't want it (or them) covered in oil.

The picture below shows how they 'normally' do it, if climbing out of a perfectly good aircraft can be called 'normal' that is.

The reason for hanging off the aircraft like this is so that they can all let go at exactly the same moment, rather than trying to all race out the door, in order to link up together into a formation on the way down.

Best of luck (from the guy that comes back down INSIDE the plane).
