Skydiver NMAC

[Steven P. McNicoll[_2_]]

A short video clip showing a near collision between a skydiver and a
light single was just shown on "Fox & Friends". The airplane looked
like a Navion with the gear extended, but it went by rather quickly.
Anyone have any additional information on this?

Believe that was in the UK, with the airplane being a DH Chipmunk....

Haven't heard anything on the Navion forums. We're off topic all over
the place over there, so if it happened to one of us I'd expect to hear
about it.

Is this it? This clip has been floating around a few years and was discussed
on this forum a couple of years ago.

It's a Chipmunk, allright.

Yeah I can see how you might think that is a navion, but if you pause it
when it is at it's closest to the divers feet, it's pretty clear it's
not. Could be a chipmunk.

Yes, that's it. I hadn't seen it before.
