Riding the lift from a free fall simulator

[gustabmo]

Hello group,

Has anyone ever tried riding the lift originating from a free fall simulator (one of these giant fans for people to practice the free fall phase of a parachute jump).

I imagine it must be very turbulent, but worth a try!

my guess is that a slope plane would be better for that since the speed of the wind is 120+mph. also arent they a bit pricy to rent time in??

I thought of flying above it while someone was having fun "free falling in place" in the simulator.

Regarding airspeed, I´d say it drops considerably with altitude...

if my memory serves those things are just a verticle wind tunnel, you could probly get a plane to fly straight down if it had enough penetration
