Hey - now that looks like fun!

A colleague of mine was involved in a film (one of the Bond films, I think, but I forget which) where a skydiver jumped out of an aircraft. The aircraft then overtook the skydiver while he was in freefall, then slowed down to let the skydiver back in. It was done in a Pilatus PC6, by putting the propeller into reverse in order to slow the aircraft down enough to let the skydiver back in. Fascinating stuff!
