Down in MO to me. LOL

SEMO, Charleston MO airport.
Don, Don, and Ralph. 3 old guys that started a DZ for the love of the sport, not the money (they all have real, weekday jobs).

Where ever you are, it's worth the trip.

The Porter doesn't fly much any more. Lack of interest I guess. Last I knew, they had a 205 and a 206 also.

So Jim, ya ever jumped a Tripacer? Got one that's a ball to jump from! Been out of four of the new light planes and ultalights too. They buikd them, and the rule goes, you can't bring your first passenger back. Nice to be the only one with a rig!


Don't tell me I can't! I already know that! Haven't you seen my x-rays?

Well, in my very short skydiving career, three different planes so far, there will be more in the future.

Twin Otter
CASA 212
King Air

I certainly enjoy reading about other people's experiences and I also enjoy reminiscing about my own, and thinking back about the various aircraft which I have jumped from is just that. I fail to see how listing aircraft can be construed to be 'self-glorification'.
