peacefuljeffrey 0 #76 January 23, 2005 QuoteFor speed you can't beat Mike Mullins' King Air. 0-13.5k in about 6 minutes Holy Moly! ...With how many aboard? I'm enjoying Sebastian's Skyvan lately, which makes just above 1,000 feet per minute with a relatively full load... Can't complain. I LOVE going out the tailgate relative to the side door of the Otter (but I do so love the Otter as an airplane, period!)! I haven't jumped lots of planes yet, but in a dream once, back around '91, I somehow jumped from an F-15 Eagle! -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Ya, out of the 3 they have down there now, the Skyvan has been the most fun for me. Can't wait to get back down there! ...38 days and counting...

DanglesOZQld 0 #79 January 23, 2005 Loooove our LET 410 - (jump it every single day) as us Aussies do not have the chance to jump some of the more "usa" type "cushy" windmills wif wings !!! You must seperate choppers from fixed wing as there is no comparison and I also have a lot of "to do's" still on my list! -BSBD! -Dangles. "A Scar is just a Tattoo with a story!!!"
