Otherwise, he is at HOME in Tallahassee, thank you very much!! You moochers leave our plane and pilot be.

Hope you guys are keeping that plane full and busy! Maybe he'll stay on a few more weeks before that Ohio winter sets in. For those complaining about the dag-nabbed Cessna...at least you always have it. I am reduced to a rented 206 once a month. Its all relative.

It holds a special place in my heart, as it was the plane I learned to jump out of. I didn't even jump out of a Cessna until I had like 70 jumps, and that was just because I wanted to try something different A few years ago, my DZ got an Otter in addition to the King Air. Now I do almost all of my jumps out of the Otter. The King Air is used mostly for tandems, and the Otter for AFF and fun jumpers. But if there's ever a problem with the Otter, or not enough room, we can always slum it in the King Air Wow, I just realized how gosh-darn spoiled I am Trapped on the surface of a sphere.
