dreamsville 0 #26 August 13, 2002 I seem to be among the last RW divers or a free-flyer. I don't have to open the door.I 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
SudsyFist 0 #27 August 13, 2002 QuoteActually, I bet I have more dark-side jumps lately. Been fooling 'round with sit and back flying. I need a few more weapons for the camera flyin' arsenal. so THAT'S what you've been doing solo a la levi's lately! definitely had my curiosity piqued there for a while. steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhonda66 0 #28 August 13, 2002 The SkyVan is ok, but the CASA is much better :) I'm not afraid of the door - actually, that never even crossed my mind, but that sucker rattles like I can't believe - I used to take long trips in an old van with the whole family packed in and the SkyVan reminds me of that same van - makes me carsick If it's all that's available, no problem, but if there's a CASA that's also available, I'm all for the CASA.Rhonda PP ASEL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #29 August 13, 2002 I agree. People should not be afraid of new experiences. Skydiving, for some people, is about facing fears. So face your fear about the door, open it a few times and chances are, you'll be fine w/ it. If you're not, then don't jump it. That would be understandable. But not giving it a chance, is not understandable, in my opinion. QuoteGet a girlfriend and she will usually have a cold drink for you. Oh geez. Not if she's on the next load. Fen for yourself, ya lazy skydiver. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #30 August 13, 2002 Dude!!!!!!! The Toaster ROCKS!!! I love that plane. The tailgate is large and it gets to altitude most quickly. Plus....there was almost NO waiting on it. In fact I had to rush to get on it more than once. It beats the shit out of the Skydive Arizona Otters....WTF is up with the super sonic jump run?

PhillyKev 0 #31 August 13, 2002 I preferred the CASAs myself. Skyvan is more cramped, reaks of exhaust (got nausious a couple times), and trying to open that door during an emergency could be a definite problem. Plus I have a skyvan to jump every weekend, not a CASA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #32 August 13, 2002 I want a skyvan like they had in Cutaway! Where only 8 people at a time ride to altitude and the door is OFF! Screw the aerodynamics!
