ChasingBlueSky 0 #9 March 17, 2004 All the ones I listed were made by Casa. I don't think the AN-225 is._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Kid_Icarus 0 #10 March 17, 2004 That Casa that was biggest, had a Slovaka flag on it. Is it a military plane or really a jump plane? I was in Slovakia a year or so ago, it's beautiful. And I now see their ad in Skydiving Mag. Might have to go check it out. Oh, and if you think our beer is good...got to Slovakia.... ________________________________________ "What What.....

pajarito 0 #22 March 17, 2004 I was on an Army SF HALO team. I, however, have never freefalled out of a C-5. I've got friends who have, though. The largest aircraft tailgate exit that I've done is a C-17 (and that was huge). A jump ticket would cost you a lot. You'd have to give up part of your life to the military.
