Kapowsin'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:P

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.

I don't know if our's is the fifth one, but I frequently see South Africa's solitary JU52 flying over Johannesburg.

Well I'm back from the convention. Time of my life again and didn't even jump this time.

And the Pitts Special !
Thanks Fred.

More on the JU52

From the above site:-

Examples were still flying in South Africa and Switzerland in recent years.

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?B|
