Who is liying Canadian skydiver in USA. Since 1975, I traveled over USA for skydiving. Massachusetts, Florida, New York, New Jersey, California, Arizona, Illinois, Nevada, Carolina North and South, Texas etc… AND NEVER any DZ asked me for USPA membership when I presented my CSPA membership. This morning, January 5th, 2019. I went to Skydive Spaceland Clewiston with my friend Jean-Marc to make some jumps with our friends there. Surprise, the gentleman at manifest tell him he cannot jump because he is not USPA member. We asked if it’s a new politic for the dropzone? He told us:” I am working here for 13 years and it always been that”. We were surprise because we jumped there many times before, both of us, without being member of USPA. Example: Dec 2017, 13 jumps for Jean-Marc, we built a 75 way over Clewiston in 2010 with almost half of the group were Canadian jumpers non USPA members. We went to Clewiston for the Everglades Boogie 3-4 times. Insurance problem, CSPA insurance cover up to 2,000,000 $ cdn, USPA 50,000$ US. With dollar exchange rate CSPA cover more than twenty-eight times USPA insurance. Even if I’m member in both associations: D-293 and D31662, and I can jump at Skydive Spaceland Clewiston, I support my friend and I left the DZ without jumping because we were not welcome. Also, the comments from the same gentleman when we left was inappropriate…. Francois Leblanc, Quebec, Canada. cepq@mediom.qc.ca

We own Cessna 182 J wide body with PPonk IO-520, 300 HP, ART extension wings, our field was 1000 msl and we jumped at 11500 Msl, always 5 jumpers on board, 21-23 min. 65 liters per hour avg 13 jumps per hour with first class pilot, 11 jumps per hour with conservative pilot. With our regular O-470, average was 7 jumps per hour for 50 liters/hr. Burn more per hour but less per jump

We had Cessna 182 J model, weight was 1640 pounds on file, after we remove seats and all the stuff unusuable when we put it on scale weight drop to 1480 pounds. «Go to the scale.Quote

We jumped with George in Lake Wales in 2001. Always happy and lot of old stories... Blue sky George. Francois

We did demo jump in Canada with C-182RG, one with Transport Canada inspector on site. After that jump they advise us C-182Rg are not approved to fly with door removed.We did that jump in 2004. Quote

We will leave Quebec tomorrow morning sept 30, driving to Spaceland for that event. Monique & Francois

Yes, that is a AL 60.

Any infos about Lockheed AL60 for skydiving operation? climb rate? average time to reach altitude? number of jumpers on board? We plan to try it in the next future. Thanks Francois Leblanc
