Amazon 7 #26 August 11, 2004 QuoteKapowsin's Grand Caravan with the "Skydive Kenya" sticker in it. No seats - so roomy; doesn't fly at too steep an angle. (Like their Steroid Twin Otter where I have to hang onto the seat in three places WUSSIE Come on down and fill up the Otter.. bring some other people ready to fly the BIG plane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #27 August 11, 2004 My favorite plane? What ever the DZ has to take me up in the air. Lets face it, if you go to a DZ and you want to jump, even if all they have is a 172 taking you to 7.5k with only 3 jumpers, I bet you jump it. I know I would. Fuck, I'd jump a slingshot if the G-forces wouldn't kill you getting you to 3k. I just like jumping. If its a large twin turbine, so be it, if its an old 182, so be it, I don't care, I just want to jump.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

miked10270 0 #34 August 13, 2004 Yeah, Tante Ju would be high on my wish list. But are there any yet that you can jump? And do you have to learn to sing "Rot Scheint Die Sonne" to get a jump ticket? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.
