No Otter yet, but how about a Porter, Beech 99, and 2x King Airs?---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

catfishhunter 2 #28 November 29, 2011 Guess I missed 4 plane loads of skydivers dying. Not being an ass but please point me to these tragedy's so I am current with my history as I really never heard of these 4 massive losses :( MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #29 November 30, 2011 I miss the old days of the Mullins' $99 Boogie Til Ya Pukes where you pay $99 to jump all you can in a weekend with one rig. My best rate was about $6.18 a jump, making 16 jumps, all from 15,000 feet. There are some who made over 20 jumps at these boogies. That was before the drastic rise in fuel prices though.

377 22 #30 November 30, 2011 You can probably jump at Lodi for $5 if you have an unused Pope Valley $5 jump ticket. I showed my unused ticket to Bill Dause at Lodi a couple of years ago and he said he'd take it. How's that for customer service? (Bill used to be the DZO at Pope Valley). It's a momento and worth more than a jump to me. I have a few unused jump tickets from various DZs that are gone and they bring back memories. Remember Skydive Santa Rosa? Crazy Creek? Livermore? Antioch? 3772018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
