mikecrow 0 #1 July 23, 2006 OK, guys... The DC-9 is here in Rantoul, it's flying, and we're jumping from it! It's got seats, it's quiet, it's fast, and it's a trip! I was on the first load, and you weren't. Four minutes to altitude. What a blast! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cocheese 0 #2 July 23, 2006 It's a miracle. Congrats to the owners of that big bird.... And all those who jump from it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orlando 0 #3 July 23, 2006 QuoteWhat a blast! yeap that was a blast and funny. Hearing the comercial plane breafing is amusing, the oxigen mask falling was funny. Lining up and moving the people back and forth, looked like dancing. That was my first jump out of a jet and never had seen the ramp area. I did not even run down the ramp. i just jumped from the inside. We were in the first production load and I'm sure they have ironout all the rough edges. So I'm waiting for all my friends to get here so we can go again. Maybe this time I'll turn around and take a look at the back of the jet.
