Robbie Madison rides in one of the aircraft breaker's yards near Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, AZ.

This was not shot in AMARG but in one of the private yards that surround the base.

That is a lot of amazing in 10 minutes. The filming was amazing, and he was doing awesome tricks too.

Amazing stunts that almost seem incredible. I doubt Evil Knievel could have imagined stunts like these.

Jay, with your photography skills, you could do a great job of capturing Robbie in flight.
Perhaps you should offer your services, could be an income opportunity.

I appreciate the vote of confidence but there's one problem:

Unless you were on the inside for a project like that, you'd never know about it until they were almost ready to shoot. I'm sure Robbie was practicing somewhere, but not on site so as not to call attention to things and the location was probably under strict "Shaddup and Don't Talk" so they didn't get a mob outside the fence.

I know the location as I shoot base activities from near there but the fact that they were able to have him come tearing in the gate and back out again later in the day tells me they kept this very much on the DL. Even my local shooting buddies never knew they were doing this and they are around that area almost every day.

^^ True, but I was thinking if you showed him your work, he might bring you onboard as a still photographer - a part of his crew. Well, it's just an idea. You know the old saying...nothing ventured, nothing gained.
