skymama 37 #2 April 13, 2002 I liked the high speed exit I did out of the Casa at SDA last fall, and I enjoyed actually being able to sit on a bench in it. Other than that, I like the Rocket Van at Deland. Hate the Porter or anything smaller.AndreaI'm high as a kiteI just mightStop and check you out.

PhreeZone 20 #3 April 13, 2002 Hehehehe I'm going to be the weird one... other then my normal plane (Casa and Westwind) I'm tossing my vote in on Paul Fayards tricked out Super Widebody 182. Thing climbs faster then the Casa to 13000 and it just feels like a jump plane.... Fairly quiet with the tri-blade prop and 4 jumpers in a wide body is just heaven..."Hey..

Jimbo 0 #4 April 13, 2002 CrossKeys' new Otter is fast as hell and comfortable to boot. That thing was turning loads in a little under 15 minutes last weekend. Skyvans are nice too, when they're not too slow. -Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydiveMonkey 0 #7 April 13, 2002 I like the TurboLet 410 at sibson (biggest I've jumped). however, the Nomad at Chatteris has a cd player When you participate in sporting events, its not whether you win or loose, its how drunk you get. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMarshMan1 0 #8 April 13, 2002 Anything that gets me to altitude! Seriously though, I'm also a big fan of the Rocket Van (SkyVan) at DeLand...I love that thing! How come you dont like the Porter, Skymama? lol...its nice and cozy...and then half the side of the plane opens up and you kinda just fall out, its fun!

riggerrob 643 #9 April 13, 2002 Dornier 27 with the Portugeuse plywood floor. Lots of room to lean back, lots of windows to enjoy the view and you have plenty of time to enjoy the view, an inflight snack and a nap.Oh, and the doorway is so wide and so low that no one gets uptight about launching bellytive work pieces.
