Hey skydivingdutch Just to clear things up, Here with CASA in Aus I can say for sure you may fly a DZ Plane at a money making DZ, with only a Private license and have no problems with any governing body… There is the one catch you have sufficient time on type and no body but you are in the plane during the flight.... You would have to make for some spectacular flying so as the dropzone does make money off your flying though, also attempting to stop any of it from being interpreted as an aero crowd pleaser, that would be then of course commercial...

"Icurus Beta" Do you mean Icarus Beta? I have jumped my mates old Beta a few times and was very sure it was ZP...

And the beer tasted very fine indeed OBes

When is beer owed on the beer line? If the Body stops before the line and the Canopy continues to travel over the line so as only fabric and lines are offending, is beer owed? Is on the line out? I have searched for similar threads with no luck. OBes :)

It's Greed like this, the main reason why there just aint enough good looking chicks to go around in aus...

Bloody hell luis... LOL These XCountries are pretty serious stuff, the next thing I'll be hearing about is people getting out with a WAC and chestmounted VOR. How did you go with your time estimates in each sector..... just kidding. The last time I did a Xcountry was unintetional a few years back, caused by cloud and some even sillyer people getting out before me. I must say I was so far out a GPS may of come in handy. Obes

92Knts... Damn, You would put some light A/C to shame with that ground speed. Nice one.

"You'll be jumping by yourself" AWW C'Mon You just need to sacrifice a few luxuries like Door + Cabin trim,Seats and doors(pilot inc), Inst pannel,2nd fuel tank and depending on how good you are the U/Carriage can go as well, then I'm sure you could boost your payload to at least a two way a pilot and carry enough fuel to get you to 1.8K and still have enough left over for a forced landing.

"152 Jump tickets" I don't know about you Jas, but tickets in a 152 seem hardly worthit Obes

Oi......Jas, What the hell was the bloke thinking? (BF) He just must have missed the entire story, ay. But if she's on jumprun next time and still looking for that gear check be sure to inform one of us up the front. ;)

What... "So few skydivers" Speak for yourself Grumpy (AKA sir cork alot) ;-) You also know what I keep hearing about old dogs and new tricks..... ay dave.
