Zinger 0 #1 September 17, 2002 Who wants to play? Free camping and showers, I'll owe lots of beer to share with all, First Birdman jump and I hope the first time I have met dropzone.com people that I did not already know. There will be lots of FreeFlying, RW, Tracking dives, CRW, Birdman and of course we know how to party so come to PA and play. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zinger 0 #3 September 18, 2002 Who knows what about this "Franken Otter"??. Besides the Landing gear mishap that was posted here a few weeks back, How she climb? Bench seats or floor seating?? Any snags for the floaters or video people ?? Door work well?, Any input would be great. Pics would be cool also, before and after paint. Thanks ... Roy. ------Have a good one!-------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #4 September 18, 2002 Don't know what they changed on it, but back in the days pre-paint job: climbs like a mo-fo, bench seats against the walls, I'm sure the door's been replaced since I jumper her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zinger 0 #6 September 18, 2002 The ugly duckling that grew into a swan.. What a diff.. We had a King Air most of the summer with a Caravan that took it's place when down/busy, and also was treated to a "Beech 99 Airliner" that was cool but my heart belongs to Otters for the all around jump plane. Thanks again. Roy ------Have a good one!-------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamsville 0 #7 September 18, 2002 Thanks! I know I like the "before" better. I am a creature of nostalgia for this bird. HarryI don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane. Harry, FB #4143 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
