diablopilot 2 #27 April 15, 2004 QuoteQuoteQuoteAs with any new plane being promised... I'll believe it when the first load of jumpers takes off Expecially with an aircraft that has never dropped jumpers before and needs all the FAA paperwork. From what I've heard it will be less of an FAA thing and more of a DMV thing. LOL! Oh yea, Missy said there will be a tailgate there and that isn't the jumpship they are talking about :) :) :) I can't wait to see that bad boy "fly" Yeah, I'd love to see the camera step.....---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

AggieDave 6 #33 April 16, 2004 The military has jumped out of those before, atleast I know an USAF special forces type that has. Although from what I understand, in the event of an aircraft emergancy, one of the first things they do is drop the container.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

BlindBrick 0 #38 April 16, 2004 So assuming it's a Skycrane, is it going to be using the passenger pod that was made for it or just a container? -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

webracer 0 #40 April 16, 2004 That is going to be fun, but it is likely only for Summerfest. A new attitudeTroy I am now free to exercise my downward mobility. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praetorian 1 #41 April 16, 2004 Ok assuming its a big Helo, container or just a big russina bird, at summer fest I'll be a Newly A licenced skydiver, under 50 jumps to my name... will I be allowed to go on the helo? and is there anything I should know about a big helo jump like this that would give me reason not to allow myself to go even if I'm allowed?
