juanesky 0 #12 September 23, 2003 Jim, I'm in awe to the great variety of plane, one JU-52 the russian ones, how on earth could you get to jump one of these? How come you don't have a jump in a C-130?

How come you don't have a jump in a C-130? Thanks for sharing. *** Mostly aircraft that are present at airshows I've performed in... I also basically lived in a hangar for a few years back in San Diego... I sniveled onto a lot of rides there too. C-130? Check again! One 'almost' that I really wish had come off was 10-12 years ago the "An 225" ( Russian Heavy Lift, largest thing flying) was at an Air Show.... I got to ride in the back during their show flyby performance, gate-open....rig on! But wasn't scheduled to jump out.... Thought about just stepping out, way far away from the show area, over a bean field or something.... but it would have been a LONG hot walk back and I didn't want to piss anyone off! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #22 September 24, 2003 31 different types for me. I am missing a readily available civlian airplane (Shorts Skyvan) which I may remedy this weekend at Eloy. I am also missing a couple of common military aircraft as well: C-5B Galaxy and C-17 Globemaster. I constantly keep my ear to the ground to add those to the list as well.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
