Stupid airplane tricks

[rapter 0]

The C-206 had a new pilot being checked out on her first load of jumpers. It blew a tire just before take off, made a quick 90 and went thru the fence, she didn't get the job. Billy Reed was the jumpmaster and didn't seem to mind. The King Air's nose gear wouldn't extend for landing. There was a tandem and her friend who was an observer to see if she wanted to jump, The Tandem had a spinning malfunction cut-away and landed Ok, and the King Air spent the next half hour doing hard pitch ups trying the shake the gear lose. As soon as the plane landed the two of them got the hell off the airport as fast as they could never to be seen again.

I like the new "J" prop mod on the KA.

Old JulieJulie ... that has to be just about the hardest luck King Air around. I never crashed it, but just about everyone else did.

What power setting do you think it took to taxi back to the hanger?

I don't think it worked very well because they didn't keep it

It does look cool though.

A little red and white paint and you could have really messed up some of the skydivers who started in the '60s and 70s.

An Instructors first concern is student safety.
So, start being safe, first!!!

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Well then the "J" model C-130 with its 6 bladed prop is some thing you should stay away from!

That's not the way I've heard that story told about Ursula running the 206 through the fence!!!!!
... i.e., the second thing you don't mention around... errr.. "you know who"...


Anyway... the King Air... isn't that "JJ" that went on to fame and fortune with a camio in the movie Point Break????

Although I don't pay much attention to tail numbers, I believe that this was the KA that flew out of Skydive Pennsylvania a few years ago. It suffered a significant failure of the nose gear after it landed one day. After a long and losing battle with the insurance company, I watched them cut it apart for scrap metal.

An N-number search says N50JJ is registered to Skydive Factory Inc. of Rochester, NH, along with two Otters and a Beech 99. The 99 was the one involved in a gear-up landing at an Indiana DZ earlier this year.

It also had a gear up landing at Perris in the 90's.

Some where I have a picture of about 50 skydivers picking it to move it off the runway.
