mdrejhon 8 #1 February 18, 2006 Hey, I heard Nouvel-Air (near Montréal, only 2 hour drive from Ottawa) has obtained a Twin Otter for year 2006 on top of their three existing Beech 18 aircraft. The webpage says "New for 2006 -- 23 passenger plane" (clicky) Between Nouvel-Air (full time Otter), Skydive Burnaby (full time Otter), and Skydive Gananoque (My home DZ, 3 Otter boogies), and one other dropzone (forgot the name), that would make them the only four dropzones in Canada running the Twin Otter. I'm excited! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm excited! And don't forget we have a Caravan here at Atmosphair! Skydiving is definately in good health in Canada. By the way! Nice pics of your #100 jump in the Canpara. Congrats dude. Yves.

mdrejhon 8 #3 February 18, 2006 QuoteAnd don't forget we have a Caravan here at Atmosphair! Oh yes, that one too! It's a bit far from Ottawa (Quebec City) but I heard it is really close to Quebec downtown areas, isn't that right? Next time I go to Quebec City, I'll definitely have to visit for a vacation. But a little far for a weekend day trip from Ottawa, so we poor Ottawans and Montreallers are limited in choice of aircraft Thanks for the compliment about the pictures in CanPara magazine. Yeah, my 100th jump picture got published in the last issue in Fuzzy's article. I guess I'm officially a "1-pie wonder" now ... For those interested, the 100th jump photo1 and photo2 and the SPLAT photo -- Photo Credits to Fuzzy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm excited! There's also a CSS twin otter at CEPQ (about a 30 minute drive from Quebec city) for the CEPQ boogie, in july. Lots of fun there too. Yves.

riggerrob 643 #7 February 18, 2006 There are also King Airs in Pitt Meadows (closest DZ to Vancouver) and Dunnville, Ontario. Finally, the Porter at Abbottsford just got a new engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdrejhon 8 #8 February 18, 2006 QuoteThere are also King Airs in Pitt Meadows (closest DZ to Vancouver) and Dunnville, Ontario. Finally, the Porter at Abbottsford just got a new engine.Good point! But neither is close enough to Ottawa or Montreal. That limits me to Skydive Gananoque and Nouvel-Air if I want to jump out of them bigger and faster jump planes during a weekend daytime trip!
