skycop 0 #129 October 30, 2003 We jumped this a couple of years ago during the 6:00 o'clock news, it was a hoot! We got some REALLY funny looks when we were downloading video in the newsroom from my partner's helmet cam. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Unstable 8 #134 October 30, 2003 help me out here once again folks - What ship is that?? Looks like a 206 or 206 with a Tail Dragger?=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aeromobile 0 #135 October 30, 2003 It would be fun to play name that airplane, but I know there's people out there that already know. It's a 1953 Cessna 195. The original engine, a 275 horse power Jacobs, was replaced with a 450 horse power Pratt and Whitney. Its a blast to fly. Although I've only jump it once because I'm always flying the jumpers like it too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yesterday I jumped the Buffalo six times, from 10,000 feet, coaching Canadian Armed Forces Search and Rescue Technicians. A big, beautiful yellow bird! Tall enough to stand up and walk around, even while wearing an old-school camera helmet. Wide ramp under the tail. Built in coffee pot and frying pan. Only disadvantage is Air Force spotters who believe in spotting early and spotting often. Hee! Hee! Ah, we DZ bums have a rough life! May I have some sympathy here, please?
