freeflir29 0 #5 January 16, 2003 Dude!!! You didn't list the OV-10 Bronco. By far the WHACKIEST jump I ever did. However, I don't think you can beat a C-130. Climbs FAF....and the Tailgate is large......Maybe a C-17....it is sweet!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronMike 0 #7 January 16, 2003 How the fuck can you jump out of an OV-10 Bronco? It has a canopy and Garret T76-G-412 engines right??? I don't get it. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumppilot01 0 #11 January 16, 2003 I would pik a Cessna 172, with a fast climb rate and an explosive payload, that is the bird to have. Actually, I would pick the F-14. It is the most badass looking plane out there. With a plane like that, something has to be seriously wrong with you if you can't get laid. peace, -A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #13 January 16, 2003 I want to learn how to fly an A-10 Thunderbolt II (aka Warthog). It may be slow, but it's got the biggest bite with that f**kin' gun! Wow!!

nacmacfeegle 0 #18 January 16, 2003 Hmm, cost be damned, hell it would have to be the shuttle... More practically, the AN72 beats the Herc, and I have jumped both.Big birds I haven't jumped though would have to include the Illyushin IL76 (has been at a boogie in europe), the pics and vid looked awsome...

AggieDave 6 #19 January 16, 2003 1st Force Recon USMC (I think 3rd Force may have done it too, I can't quite remember) did this back in Vietnam on more then one occasion. It would hold 6 Marines, they would be static lined dropped. Basically the last guy sat with his feet sort of dangling over the edge, held in by a saftey strap (seatbelt). When it was time to drop (according to the pilot), he would undo the belt, the pilot would pull up and they would slide out the back, getting deployed via static line. Not at all a bad method. Especially since the VC didn't expect the Bronco to drop Marines in.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

jimmytavino 16 #24 January 16, 2003 First choice....Space Shuttle,,, Strictly for "Rate of Climb" But it goes to fast to safely go "rear floater" So my REAL first choice is C-130 Every Skydiver should have,,,,, "A building that can fly" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
