DrewGPM 0 #2 March 13, 2005 They had a great Safety Day at Skyknights! The anouncement that the PAC750 is gonna be there all season was a HUGE surprise. Kudos to all the folks that made that happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dumpster 0 #3 March 13, 2005 Oh yeah - I was there - I apologize for not introducing myself - I was wearing the Air Force sweatshirt. Yeah it did come as a big surprise! Up to then I was expecting Titusvilles' King Air. It's gonna be a helluva season! Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpwally 0 #8 March 14, 2005 Lenny,,Is the "Skydive Milwaukee" a new ownership thing or did someone wakeup to the "marketing thing"? wallysmile, be nice, enjoy life FB # - 1083 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fast 0 #9 March 14, 2005 Its still a club. No new ownership. We are trying to have a better web presence and get more people coming out to skydive with us. I am looking forward to see what changes they did to the PAC. I have heard its a lot more comfortable inside than the one they had at WFFC. That makes me happy. PAC > KA ...can't stand the small door. No good for 4-way.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

loflyer 0 #12 March 14, 2005 You guys are going to love it! We got our PAC 750 last weekend,(SKYDIVE TAFT) it is an awesome plane! On safety day, it was Awesome! I coordinated with the pilots to actually do an Emergency Exit drill (or hop-n-pop) & the load was full! It was a great training experience & everyone,including the pilot, was impressed! Have fun with your new plane! The PAC 750 rocks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doogie 0 #13 March 15, 2005 Wow.... looks like a reason to get current! I've been doing the whuffo thing for the last year or so and was planning the same this season, but it looks like I found a reason to put a rig together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites freakydiver 0 #14 March 15, 2005 SkyKnights is a GREAT place. Used to be my home DZ and I miss it much.

We were a little disappointed it didn't arrive here till 6 o'clock in the evening only time for 2 loads. But I was told that mine was the first load of jumpers ever flown in that plane. (I've got a little piece of bubble wrap from the interior to prove it.) Couple pics of your PAC. Sorry about the quality just frame grabs. Photos by Nick Blacksher aka Olav Nickster.
