It is absolutely unnecessary to tell these guys not to try this at home! :P

I opened this video clip in the Control Room where I work and 3 of 5 coworkers started talking about the first time they did this. One when a friend landed with him on the Susitna, another is a cook, for a guide who lands this way on the Nushagak in his T-craft every trip, and one that went with a friend to the Kuskokwim where he hunts every year.

There's a stunt juggler named Tuey (http://www.tueywilson.com/) who performs in the Twin Cities area each autumn. During one of his stunts, standing on the top of a free ladder, holding burning torches he's about to juggle, he says "I should really say something here about kids not trying this at home.... But that's where I learned it!" :D :D :D

I don't know what a Highlander is, but I do know that six dollar av gas is making people creative about flying. That guy is very creative.
