Do you like the smell of jetfuel?

Recommended Posts

When Claude, from Perris died, many thought it was all those years of pushing the stairs up to running Otters on every load and breathing in those fumes.

I figured it was more the drinking, smoking, and eating in the Bombshelter every day . . .

The only time I don't like it is when I'm boarding a Twin Otter while the props are spinning-up and the exhaust pipe is aimed directly at my face, while I'm waiting for the person in front of me to finish climbing in.

Jet fuel overdose, anyone? ;)



now just close your eyes, and imagine all of that exhause/unspent fuel soaking your beautiful rig. mmmmm :ph34r:

i would much rather just smell avgas andhear the sound of RADIAL engines.but thats just me



I'm with you! Turbines are great, but there was just so much more drama in the clanking, coughing, smoking chaos that was a DC-3 Pratt & Whitney starting up that was just so much more satisfying...:)

The whole jumping experience is filled with sensory delights. The smell of unpacked nylon, the interior of an overused 182, Jet A in the morning, the sweet aroma of my gas at 9,000 feet on Sunday morning.

Ahhh...cantcha smell it?

Love it. Been around airports since i was in 5th grade. Skydiving just added an extra shot of steroid-laced endorphins when i get a whiff.

I work in a hotel near an international airport, and very near a business jet center. Absolute toture. The first few weeks here i had a subconscious jolt of joy when we'd get a blast, now i just cry in a corner and count the seconds till the weekend... or take a lunch break in the tunnel B|

So there I was...

Not my favourite Cologne but it'll do.

Actually there are 2 smells in skydiving that are amazing and opposite ends of the nasal spectrum... JET A and the really fresh air at altitude



I like the smell of that hot skychick whos leaning against me

Whenever I smell jetfuel or hear a turbine startup I get all excited cause it reminds me of skydiving. :D
