Skyvanfan 0 #1 September 7, 2006 Arriving at Skydive Sussex tonight around 7:30, they tell me! I am so excited about this plane I might change my name to Pac Fan! The PAC 750 is built for skydiving! Holds 16 jumpers, and gets to 13,500' in 10 minutes! Light loads are no problem. And it's gorgeous, shiny, lovely, and new! And it's going to be there for the rest of the season. I am driving up there tonight - can't wait to see it! Maybe we can get a load in - who is coming? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiQ 0 #2 September 7, 2006 Oooo! Super excited me!!! As soon as I get done working, I'm getting in my car and hightailing it up there! I saw pictures of the shiny prettiness but I can't wait to actually jump out of it!! "...I'm going to feed your fingers to the wolverines..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FYI 16 jumpers is w/ co-pilot seat removed and cramming people about as good as you can. You will only get 13,5K in 10 min w/ 10-12 persons - not happening w/16. All else though, certainly a good jump plane. Enjoy. Disclaimer: I may not actually know what I'm talking about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah. We can squeeze 17 in with one jumper in the copilot's seat, though it's not pretty. Our standard loading for sixteen, with floor seating: one in copilot's seat. Five on the step behind the pilot, then two rows of five. Works pretty well.

Particularly if there are any wingsuiters at all onboard! The one we have at Raeford has straddle benches (they come stock). I have never, ever seen anyone try to sit on the floor between the two benches up front.

And yeah, if there are any tandems or wingsuits, 17 is impossible. 90+% of the time sixteen is the max we turn with.
