Well, I have 185 jumps and have only managed to jump from a C-182, King Air, Twin Otter & a SkyVan (The RocketVan at Deland, woohooo!) I'm in the Air Force and get so envious of our Pararescue guys who get to jump C-130s, C-17s, and Helos all the time. That's one of the main reasons why I wanted to attend the WFFC this year was to experience some different aircraft. But, didn't make it.

So far just a King Air, but as soon as I get that A license and can jump other places there's plenty of other planes out there waiting for me

I don't have all my logbooks, but from memory:
C-182, C-172, C-206,
King Air (Mullins and regular), DC-3, Twin Otter (super and regular), Caribou, CASA, Skyvan (super), Pilatus Porter,
727, Huey.
I don't remember jumping the CASA, but I saw it in my logbook the other day, so it must be true!

Clay, how many jumpers can fit in a C-5, or is that classified?

"Clay, how many jumpers can fit in a C-5, or is that classified"
I think around 145 combat equipped S/L jumpers. A shitload (Yes, thats a technical term) of free fallers.

C-172, C-182, C-206 (or is was it a 205 - I always confuse the 2 ... it's the cessna we put 5 jumpers in...), Beech-18, King Air, Twin Otter, F-27 (the Fokker).

[FallinWoman 1]

C-182 (s/l training...)
King Air
Porter (none of us knew how to load it...we barely fit 8 . They said it would hold 10. I don't believe it!! And the ride to altitude...I think I had two birthdays during that trip!
SuperOtter
I am eagerly awaiting the CASA in Sept. Very excited about that. Last year I was still a student so I could only watch...

Caravan both grand and regular, King Air, Twin Otter, Westwind Beech, C-206, C-182, CASA, and a Twin Bonanza. My pick would definately be the Otter or CASA it just depends on the dicipline.
Safe landings,

spec, some of these aircraft must have presented some interesting challenges, to say the least. I'm thinking that the stall speeds on some of the larger commercial aircraft would be high enough that the exits would be quite dangerous. Also, some of the configurations of the exits would make it difficult to avoid striking wings and stablizers, especially for the smaller business jets. And how were the doors configured? I would think that opening the door on a 747 would take some extraordinary skill and strength! Were these standard configurations, or specially modified spook jobs?
Do tell.
By the way, are you DB Cooper?

Having less than 20 jumps I have exited the following perfectly good (yeah right) airplaines:
Islander, C-182, B-80 (Beechcraft Twin [Queen?] Air, if memory serves), C-206.
A grand total of four different craft. Not bad for a low-timer aspiring skidiver, huh?

Skyvan, C 172, C182, C206.
Would like to try a heli soon, and a balloon, and every plane with a "backdoor"...

With 0 cabin pressure

correct me if I am wrong but 0 cabin pressure in my mind would equal an implosion....or do you mean equal cabin pressure....

I have 200 jumps and have jumped a Twin Otter, Super Otter, King Air, Mullins' King Air, C-182, Cessna Caravan, SkyVan, CASA, and a hot air balloon - CASA, hot air balloon and Mullins' King Air all tie for my favorites so far....
