And for the record: every dropzone has cliques.

I don't know why all these clicky Perris/Elsinore jumpers are afraid to get in their car and drive by themselves (god forbid) to a new dropzone?

Wow! You mean you actually left a "real dropzone"? Maybe you should be more careful about what you say and advice you give.

There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

LOL!!!!!!!

Well OK then, I guess Taft now qualifies as a real dropzone!

Jesus! Maybe they like their home DZ. Maybe they just haven't made it there yet. Maybe you shouldn't chase them away by being negative.

Don't get me wrong, Perris/Elsinore are decent dropzones but aren't people at all interested in this plane?

No. I'm not. I've taken a ride or two on it. It's fast. It's also a King Air. If I have a choice, is a big door aircraft for me.

An aircraft only needs to be fast enough so I can make every other load with one rig, or every load with two and a packer. I'm not buying a third rig to keep up with an airplane.

Scott. Relax. You'll enjoy the sport, and life more.

I think its a 90 with some mods

"Mike Mullin's Super King Air is a B90 King Air that has been modified for jumping with an in-flight door, step, and handles. The original 550 hp PT6 turbine engines have been replaced with 750 hp PT6 turbine engines and high performance cowlings. Under standard conditions, this aircraft will take fourteen jumpers to 14,000 feet in seven minutes. This is the fastest climbing jump plane in the country! Air-conditioned and heated! Guaranteed fastest jumpship in the USA—GET IT ON! " - from the Skydive Taft website

LOL!! Well fortunatly the weekend crowds have gotten better, thank God. I was getting embarassed at the turnout. I didn't want Mike to think we were a bunch of deadbeats.
