What else can we possibly post? (Well, there is a new windblade in the 121PM colors). (And a new set of door/exit lights which blink like Christmas tree ornaments.) I've made several jumps out of it/her this week.

Yeah, I've noticed that in some of the Skydive Pepperell videos on YouTube in which jumps were made from 1PM.
I suppose Junior and Emiko have embraced the late 20th century and installed a GPS in 1PM as opposed to letting jumpers spot the old fashioned way? I suppose the new lights are part of that??
The third, from Oct 2005, with a new paint job. At least there's still a jump door on her. Supposedly, she's still hauling jumpers in Texas.
That would be Skydive San Marcos. (Scroll to the bottom of the page.) 125PM is at Mile Hi in Colorado. Picture is from a long time ago, when it was at Pepperell for a Halloween boogie. The plywood door with the pumpkin fell out on the way to altitude one load and was never seen again.

I came across this listing of what used to be Pilgrim Air's Otters. As we know, 121PM, 122PM and 125PM all went on to and still are jump planes, not sure what became of the others. Too bad we can't get 121PM, 122PM and 125PM together for a formation load!

129PM is a jump plane... Z-hills I believe. It's the green Freefall Express otter.
Edit: Some google searching shows a couple of them crashed with Pilgrim (124 and 127), and 128pm is also a jump plane now registered as N24HV (at Cross Keys I guess).

Yes. That would be the references to Rhode Island (on the ice on the Scituate Reservoir, minor injuries, IIRC) and Long Island Sound (ran out fuel under IFR conditions and all died.)

Wow! That means if you could get them all together at the same place / same time, one could do a 100+ way formation load using just ex-Pilgrim Air turned jump plane Otters.
Come-on! That's gotta be worth an article in Parachutist!

... well, I hope it was more rivets than bolts... if it was a bunch of skydivers that did it, it was probably just duct tape and chewing gum...
