lummy 4 #2 January 9, 2002 well, jump ships have to be modified too :) I have an Xacto knife :)but seriously folks, me thinks if anyone is interested in it, they shoudl do the bidding in here rather than driving up the price on EBAY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #3 January 9, 2002 If you have MS Flight Sim you can download an Otter that is painted exactly like Perris' Super Otter... and I think I remember my son dl'ing Cal City's Otter too. Unfortunately I don't remember where he found them...Yes. I know I'm worthless pull and flare,lisa--life's a bitch.. and so am I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiventom 0 #8 January 9, 2002 no.. but he scared the shit out of me once when he opened that little frigg'n window and screamed... LOLLive Well, Laugh Often, Love Much Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #9 January 9, 2002 Is it true that if he smells it, the load leaves the plane right then? Also, ever hear the story about him dropping some freefliers on the other side of the river from Quincey b/c they wanted him to fly around b/c they didn't like the spot? Any truth or just good jump stories. (as we know, the only difference between a fairy tale and a jump story is a fairy tale starts off "Once apon a time" and a jump story starts off "No shit...")Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.-General George Patton- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiventom 0 #10 January 9, 2002 Yah.. I was there in Quincy two years ago... hahaha... they landed over by the river... aren't yah supposed to look before you jump???Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattb 0 #11 January 9, 2002 If anyone knows where to found the downloads for MS Flight Simulator let me know. Just got the program - it's addictive. I was amazed to find Skydive Chicago in the airport directory hangar and all. (Although there were a few extra houses in the area.)Great program.

AggieDave 6 #17 January 9, 2002 Yeah and his kid (under 18yrs old) has more jumps then most of the people on these forums...fun times, huh?I can't remember where it was, but I remember hearing about some kids who's family owned one of the wind tunnels, one was 13 the other was 9 and they can do head down 2-ways and really cool stuff like that in the tunnel really well. It'll be funny when they do AFF and pop out some crazy RW or freefly stuff on their unsuspecting JMs. Could you imagine, your AFF1 18yr old student pulls out a sitfly, cartwheels into a head down, flips back over you into a sit then into a stand...Or starts turning competition points on their first jump...Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.-General George Patton- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #18 January 9, 2002 What do you mean it's the Candian Air Force model without a jump door. Canadian Air Force Twin Otters have aluminum jump doors with two hinges. They fold up and are straped up against the ceiling when you jump. I made dozens of jumps from yellow Twin Otters back in 1981, and they paid me to jump!

FallRate 0 #19 January 9, 2002 Ok, so it's a 1:72 model. A little small, but what's the time to altitude? :)FallRate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
