Bitch bitch bitch, all over one little letter!!!!!! Thanks for the catch and yes it was a copy and paste from the TDS web site.

How may of those passengers will be hanging outside of the airplane with the slight possibility of a container coming open and all hell breaking loose. While they're out there you also have only half of the lift on your horozontal stab. on the edge of a stall. What are they thinking... sounds like any other pilot job I know of..........Not trying to pick a fight, just trying to understand why some pilots only think that the jump pilots have the easiest job in the world. Take off, climb to altitude, open door, boot jumpers, close door (if applicable), decend, land pick up new load and repeat. It can be a hair raising experience and if you don't already have the knowledge to maintain the aircraft in conditions that most pilots might never experience. That's why the insurance companies do not like low time pilots flying the bigger jump planes. Start off at a 182 DZ and work on your hours there. It's not great money but at least you're making something while attaining your goal. Then if you can get into something bigger (Caravan, PAC 750, etc....) then move up. But don't be in a rush to make a fortune flying jumpers.....beside packers they are the only profession in skydiving that haven't gotten a serious raise since I've been around the sport in '83. Good luck in your flying ambition. I hope it works well for you. Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws

A hotel? People stay in hotels at the Hog Flop? I thought everyone camped out! As long as you can get someone (drunk or not) to help you set up your tent, right?!? Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws

For all you google Earth users. Here's the Airport w/ alot of the restaraunts, shops and hotels in the area.

Teams are drawn at random on Saturday after lunch letting everyone who checks in by then a chance to participate. Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws

among many other things!!!

Is that the sound you hear after a swoop? Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws

well technically you're more than doubling if you pull at 5 for instance, from 7,000'=2,000' of freefall 14,000'=9,000' of freefall....... Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws

Just trying to get the word out and see who might be at the Hog Flop in Palatka Nov. 9-12. Organizing by Jeff Nebelkopf and Harry Parker with competition We'll have a skyvan and a caravan for overflow or possible form loads if the need arises.... Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws

Also we should get the word out that we'll have the skyvan and the caravan for some form flocking

I think you were one of the original three. But we paid our dues so we get to drink!!! Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws

depends you mixing?

Best thing would be put a point directly in the center of your DZ, give your pilots a course to fly to that point, (taking in account for terrain, winds, etc.) have them give you the door 1 to 1/2 mile before the point depending on the winds (I just read your other post about no door but you know what I mean) and you should only have to give minor corrections and a cut from there.
