dmcoco84 5 #1 August 31, 2005 Come one come all to Skydive Suffolk in Suffolk, Virginia and try out our BRAND NEW PAC 750 XL. We are the only dropzone on the east coast to be blessed with this wonderful aircraft. The PAC 750XL will climb from sea level to 13,000 feet, make the jump run, and land in approximately 16 minutes with a load of 17 parachutists. Among other things the plane also has a big door and air vents inside the to keep jumpers cool even when the door is closed. http://www.utilityaircraft.com/pac750xl.html http://www.skydivesuffolk.com Call us today 757-539-3531 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elisha 1 #3 August 31, 2005 Nah, the PAC sux. Just kidding. Didn't know about these air vents. My last couple of PAC rides were by the open door and I had to wear my goggles since I have contacts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmcoco84 5 #4 August 31, 2005 Yea it’s a great plane. The vents are great along with the very comfortable benches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elisha 1 #5 August 31, 2005 Oh, and everyone kept farting too!!! The first time I was in the PAC, I was expecting the stewardess to offer snacks or something - it was so nice inside! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmcoco84 5 #6 August 31, 2005 Ha, Yup it was built for skydivers by skydivers, so its exactly what we need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elisha 1 #7 August 31, 2005 Yeah, I know - I've jumped the first ones made as they are at one of the nearest DZs to me. I just didn't know about these air vents. Maybe they are usually closed at Davis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbattman 0 #8 August 31, 2005 After it is up and running for awhile, I'd be interesting in seeing a report on it's performance, maintenance, jump costs, etc. Is there anyone around leasing these to DZs yet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmcoco84 5 #9 August 31, 2005 http://www.utilityaircraft.com/pac750xl.html Jump cost and performance info is on the website. I couldn't tell you about maintenance though. Davis has had one for a while, they would know more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #11 August 31, 2005 Are air vents special? Doesn't every dropzone have a super otter with straddle benches and air vents at every bench seat? No??? Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmcoco84 5 #13 September 1, 2005 No they are much different, they are lower on the walls of the plane. Much better circulation of air flow in the plane. And a super O doesn't run a 10 minute to altitude time!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
