Recommended Posts

and what is your favorite?

c-182
twin bonaza
twin otter & super
skyvan & super
caravan & grand
king air
hot air balloon
a-star helicopter

I would have to say I like the exit on the skyvan the best. Lots of different and fun stuff you can do. I look forward to all the other aircraft that I haven't jumped yet!!

So far

Cessna, 182 & 2something
Cessna caravan
Skyvan
Otter
Casa
King air
TurboLet 410

The case and skyvan are fun for the rear exit, I've only jumped those on special occasions.
The otters and turbolet are great because they have a huge door to lanch out of and they go slower than the king air.
The King air rocks cause it gets to altitude so damn fast and our pilot rocks.
The caravan is cool 'cause its the most comfortable, has a big door and slow jump run.
An the little cessnas are quiet and you can get some zzz's on the way to altitude if they are not too full.

Hard to pick the best they all have good points, I'd probably choose the otter and the king air.

Yeah, this has been done a few times... :S

I must say though, I liked jumping the helicopter much more than the skyvan... maybe I just need to try some cooler exits from the skyvan. It does have potential to be really fun. B|

Cessna182
Cessna185
Cessna180
Cessna Caravan
Skyvan
Casa
Otter
King Air
Mullins King Air
C130
Balloon
Bell412 Helo
Jetranger Helo
Alouette Helo

For small stuff, mullins is wonderful cause of the climb rate, altitude, spotting, etc...

After that is the skyvan.. it's a tailgate and faster than most anything but mullins (at least Crosskeys and AZ skyvans).

Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time
