I read a story about bush flying in a Cub, where the pilot would lower
a bucket out the window on a rope. He would then go into a constant
tight banked turn, with one wing of the Cub pointed at the bucket. He
could spiral down, and place the bucket stationary on the ground, so a
person on the ground could drop off or retrieve small objects.

I've heard some pretty wild urban legends, but this has to be one of the
best.


Interesting rope and bucket discussions in rec.aviation.student (2001).
