That's a 2 hours drive from where I live, so now all I need is my license Oh, and yes, Porters rock!

I also really like the pilatus porter, but the one I jumped from at Kapowsin had a massive step that extended way below the fuselage. The step was huge, it was like a porch instead of a step, it was so easy to launch big formations from that flying slowly. The one in your video seemed to have no step at all, that must be a bit cramped in the door if it really had no step. I especially liked the position of being forward of the strut standing on the wheel.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
