steve1 5 #53 December 10, 2002 I really like otters, caravans, and the sky-van. I've never sport jumped a C-130, but have static lined out of a lot of them (out the side doors in the army). I think it would be the ultimate jump aircraft. One of my goals in life, is to eventually be part of a big way, and tailgate out of one. Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d0s 0 #54 December 11, 2002 unfortunatly, ive only been able to jump from a 206c. I really want to jump from something that i can run out of the back like a cargo plane or jump from the side cause right now i have to climb out on the wing and dangle there and i hate that.

yardhippie 0 #57 December 12, 2002 "the door is just too damned small" Hey it may be small, but you only have to wait 7-8 min to get out of it!! I made 22 exits the other weekend out of that door, a record for my newbie self.

canopywhore 0 #58 December 12, 2002 Mullins plane is one of my favorites. I know the plane is fast but I think Mike is a great pilot. I would ride with him in anything. As for the door, the Otter is better for doing serious 4-way, but Mike flies slow enough that my friends normally put 4 out and once and awhile 5. For some reason I like to jump from The Shark, I don't know if its the name or the paint. I jumped from a Stearman and femured, so the jury is still out on that. The c-182 is good for a jump when you can say I can't remeber that last time I jump a 182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad47 0 #59 December 12, 2002 Commmmmmonnnnn! How come everybody forgets Cessna-182?Gives you a plenty of time to sleep @ relax on the way to altitudeP.S. It is nice to see that Russian AN-72 is popular. Never jumped it yet but the plane looks like a big skydiving machine on pictures Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kizzie92 0 #60 December 12, 2002 Nothing wrong with dangling off the strutt of a C182 or a 206. There are many ways to dangle. Try getting yer feet up over the leading edge of the wing and see how long you can hang there by your feet until you drop off.

mouth 0 #61 December 12, 2002 That's what Howard did on my 300th jumps and I was so engrossed in watching him I forgot to leave when everyone else did!! That was cool, and that coming from a plane bitch who thinks bigger is better. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

JamesNahikian 0 #63 December 13, 2002 A Mi-8 helicopter with shrapnel holes. Amazing lift and air conditioning combined. Throw in US$6 jumps, a seasoned Russian pilot, Russian skydivers plus Georgian sparkling wine and you have what I plan to be flying in next summer together with some friends. D.

Antithesis 0 #65 December 15, 2002 My favorite regular jump plane is mullins king air... It's fast! So far my favorite specialty aircraft is the c-130. The high speed exit at richmond was intense. + How can you beat a plane that ou can get up and walk around in after a few thousand feet!

Iezyka 0 #68 January 1, 2003 Quote The aircraft that was the biggest blast to jump out of in my skydiving career: The C-130 Hercules! It's worth a trip to Sweden for the Hercules Boogie. Herc-boogie -85...that´s cool I was only 4 years old at that time.. I love the Hercules too! 80 jumpers out of one big, fast airplane with a big ramp, that could be nothing else but pure fun. I was at the Herc Boogie in Sweden this year to do some big-way freeflying, that was awesome!

VivaHeadDown 0 #70 January 3, 2003 Go back about 600 threads, and see a large posting of everyone's favorite jump planes. Once again, I loved the Skyvan in Deland when I used to call it home DZ. It had the bar to hang from, as well as a camera that recorded everyone's exit that was then replayed in the bar at night. Fun stuff. Least favorite: Skyvan at Perris. Nothing wrong with it, it's a great plane that would otherwise be on the top of my list. Once, during the women's world record in 2002, I lost the right fuel cap between jumps. Mechanics and owners had to scurry in less than an hour to build one out of an otter cap since there were no extras of this specialty item on hand. I don't like this plane because it reminds me that sometimes I can be a moron. Then again, maybe that's a good thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 0 #71 January 3, 2003 Got to be an Otter (preferably a Super) nice big door for lauching 4 ways. Don't have to worry about hitting your head on the wheel when point of a meeka from an Islander and the doors on the right side as opposed to Beavers and Porters.
