If you're ever on Oahu, look up Bruce Clements at the west end of the airport. He's got two Stearman's, one yellow and one blue. Both are incredible aircraft. Wood prop, 7 cylinder engine, noisy as hell but a fun jump. Ask for an inverted exit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scoop 0 #52 June 4, 2007 Damn, me and Shropshire are jealous of you. We saw one of them at our DZ yesterday and said it'd be cool to jump one of those. Nice one! BASTARD! lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #53 June 4, 2007 This guy doesn't advertise, never been to a boogie, knows little about skydiving. I saw an ad for historic rides, went over and asked him. He thought about it for a second, and then said "sure, why not?" He'd dumped skydivers before, but said it had not been a great experience, so he wants B or higher people, but he know well what to do, when to do it, instruct the exit plan so no holes were made in the wings or tail strike, and both went like clockwork. Funniest part aside from the novelty of it, was that the DZ was shut down for the evening, no planes in the air. I had him drop me in the DZ landing area. 3-4 people quickly stood up and wondered where I'd come from, as we'd taken off a mile plus west of the DZ runway region. Told em' I'd just done a HALO in my freefly pants and long sleeve T. One guy believed me for a second. Go ask. Getting a "no" is less painful than wondering about it for a few days.

Scoop 0 #54 June 4, 2007 Yeah, I think the guy who owns it uses the airfield as his local stop off. Might even store it there, I don't know. Might be worth grabbing hold of him and asking next time. then begging the DZO/CCI use of the landing area. Maybe when the main aircrafts on a refuel or shutdown or something. I can feel a plan hatching Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
