"But landing a big way, probably wont happen, heck if it fell that slow it would be impossible for someone to shoot video of it without docking. " Och damnit Jim, ye cannae change the laws o' physics..... I'm a late diver Jim damn you, not a miracle worker.... How would you even dock on a formation flying so slow you can land it... Now put this idea back in the box, before people start to think it can be done....... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"So is the wee nosed one the 'standard otter' like the SD Dallas, and SD America? And the big nosed one (who you calling big nose?) the super otter....? " But if the engines are retrofitted or modified, or whatever, dash 32, dash 34 etc, you can't really tell the difference on the ground...You don't need a nose job, is that right? So whats the deal with the two styles of nose? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"it would take like 200 people," So the 297 in Anapa, and the 282/285 ways in Thailand could have been landed if the jumpers were more disciplined..... No, I don't think so.....I think we'll put this one in the same box as landing a wingsuit....For the time being anyway. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"Mike's King Air... Nothing compares.. " The Mullins King Air was the first 'real' plane I ever jumped out of.....Yeppers, it climbs like a banshee, probably even faster now than my first meeting with it (93/94), but the door is just too damn small for anything useful... Gimme a tailgate anyday. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
