Tank Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) I've read that he's done all of his stunts since the beginning, including all the stunts in the MI series. Granted, I read it on the internet... Edited November 3, 2014 by Tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Pshhhh, Rambo did the same thing in First Blood Part 2. Over the top of Commie territory. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUSEPLUG Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Chuck Norris would have done it with the air deflector doors stowed... and JATO rockets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BolterKing Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Chuck Norris would have done it with the air deflector doors stowed... and JATO rockets. False, an A400 couldn't get off the ground with Chuck Norris on board. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breckey Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Surprised an A400M got off the ground period. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoopyeast Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Is the stunt willingly getting aboard an Airbus? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestik Møøse Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Looks like the air deflectors are stowed in some of the shots. Tom Cruise may be a foolish Scientologist, but this is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Fox Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Back in the day I flew C-130s and worked several Northen Edge exercises. So, lots of mingling with the Army (full of overly ambitious promises for use of airlift). During a planning conference break, I was talking with a USAR O-5. He told me when he was a young O-1 or O-2 he was participating in a mass airdrop at Pope. It was an all out effort with the general and staff jumping also. He and another young Lt were to be the jump masters on their plane. Before the drop, they overheard or were told directly by an oldhead jumpmaster NCO how he used to ride the air deflector doors after the doors were opened and prior to green light. The O-5 telling me the story deferred the challenge, but his friend was all for it. Needless to say, that particular C-130 had one jumper well short of the DZ and the gungho Lt had a difficult time expaining to the CO why he was way late getting to the rally point. Story is much better when told in person. This is akin to a USAR NCO suggesting to one of his troops that he ride in the HMMWV while it was being LAPES'd. Loadmaster had a helluva time convincing the kid that it was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HercDude Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I've read that he's done all of his stunts since the beginning, including all the stunts in the MI series. Granted, I read it on the internet... No, most of his stunts are done by a little known stunt double named Tom Crooze: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
