SkyAnt 0 #1 October 5, 2003 Jumped a Cessna for the first time in almost a year today. I don't mind the time to altitude, it's being stuffed in there like a sardine that gets me. However its was kind of mellow in its own way. Slower airspeed on exit and all that. HEY GUESS WHAT ELSE? I packed my own rig for the first time totally unsupervised and it opened! Woo Hoo! Ironically my 2-way buddy had a chop. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mailin 0 #2 October 5, 2003 I just did my AFF 2 and my first time in a Cessna - my gosh, that was probably the scariest part. What was even more scary was the fact that they told me that they could somehow fit 2 more people in this little thing! yikes! Congrats by the way!

Yeah a cessna is a little cramped if you got 4 big guys in there... but if you ask me, a king air is worse. The one thing I really like about cessnas is all the things you can climb out and hang off of during exit. MB 3528, RB 1182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
