Hey all - I'm pretty sure skreamer is right, the Caravan at SkyDance is a Cessna 208. It'll hold 14 jumpers in the back (*very* cramped with that many, but it doesn't take too long to get to altitude and it's definitely worth it! hehe) I've jumped from the Caravan and from the 182...hands-down winner is the Caravan. I think that SkyDance gets a SkyVan in the summer, so I'm excited about that!

Heya Pammi & Alias! Flips really are great! Gearing up for my AFF6, where you're supposed to do 2 backflips, I was so anxious...really almost afraid of what would happen. Well, after one of the worst exits in the history of skydiving (ok, probably not *that* bad...but as my instructor said during debrief later "that exit sucked!"), I got stable, then put my arms out, pulled my knees in and lo & behold, flipped right over! My JM told me that as I was rotating around, all he saw was teeth, I was smiling so big! It was an absolute blast. You guys will do great, I just know it!! Fantastic Flips, Karen

Hey Trent - I saw that clip a few weeks ago...but I forget which channel. The one I saw had the tandem spiraling down, the instructor was very obviously unconscious. The tandem student was completely unaware that anything was wrong (at least that is what he said back on the ground. yikes!) The video guy swooped over, pulled for them, and then you can hear him (video guy) whooping with joy because the chute deployed. Very intense to watch! Not sure when or where this all took place, though. Blue Skies, K
