Dutchboy 0 #1 January 5, 2002 I was surfing and I found a site that lists airplane rentals. It seems that Delta will let you rent a 727-200 for only $1800/hr. Now all we need is 3 pilots who are rated to fly it, and a couple hundred jumpers and we'll be in business.

It might require an A&P with IA to bless a field alteration. Or if someone forgot to close the door and also forgot to presurize the cabin, some of the passengers might get sucked out.Oh yeah, and these are regular airliners with seats.
