I'd love to, but Luzern is quite far from where I'm from (750 km) - so no cruising there for the weekend. [:/]

I've been to Zuerich in Feb 2004 to get some tunnel time though. Ruemlang will definately see me again. ;)

I think about 90 but I am going to change the theme a little . What is the most unusal plane you did RW from ? Mine is a Mooney , tough waiting on the wing for thr second guy to climb out. I did quite a few twoways out of AT6s in the late 60s. My locheeds are 10e, 12, Lodestar Connie and C130 regular and stretched.I have jumped Howards and a Norseman Nordune,Also a Breezy while wearing a big wing jump suit Iwould stick an arm out and the plane would turn ,the pilot sitting below and in front didnt know why it was flying so bad. to this day.MY share of Cessna include 150 straight tail 150 slant tail 152 170A 170B 172s 1750 no 177s some day 180 1850 190 195 205 206U 206P 207 208 befre the caravan .The caravan 208 grand caravan 208 and the cargomaster with no windows208. At Richmond a few years ago Steve put an ad in Tradeaplane for a Caribou pilot to fly the one he got for us to jump . The guy that got the job was astounded when he got there to find it was the same plane he flew in Viet Nam.He showed us all the bullet hole patches and got alittle teary eyed . Damn good pilot too. Iam going to go over my list to see exactly how many planes Ive jumped , so I dont Solar count them . Any one from Michigan knows what that means ,30000 to 40000 for sure. Until next time

What is the most unusal plane



CARVAIR, hands down.



Damn, I wonder if that Carvair is one of those that sat at Love Field in Dallas from avout 1973 to 1975. At the time, I thought they were just junk waiting to be scrapped then one day they all four flew out to who knows where. Or is that something I used to drive, oh wait, that was a Corvair.:D
The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

i had this conversation at my home dz the other day( cross keys, nj ). my buddy eric had the best contribution. he said that he jumped from a few cessnas, a few otters, and from one main parachute. I imagine that no maer how many aircrafts you have jumped from, if you cut away from a parachute, you have a god mf story
