Scoop 0 #1 June 1, 2007 The other thread about dropzones got me thinking. If you're as anoraky as me and like to note in your logbook what unique aircraft you've jumped from lets hear it! For me, grand total of 8, which again for the number of jumps I have I think is quite respectable. MY AIRCRAFT Islander, Nomad, Cherokee 6 (Now out of action), Let 410, Twin Otter, King Air, Pilatus Porter, Turbine Beaver (Now out of action) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoop 0 #8 June 1, 2007 Even the dropzone refer to it as the King Air. When you maifest they tell you your on load 'King Air Number 5' or whatever. I don't doubt I'm wrong but thats how its always been referred to. Not that it really matters Whatever it is... it rocks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We did a formation load with 2+video on one C-182 and the remaining 2 members in the other.

Most (try 95%) parts for Beech 99s came from the King Air B90 and C90 production lines. The biggest difference is that 99 is not pressurized. In other words, a 99 is just a stretched King Air 90 series. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites riggerrob 558 #24 June 1, 2007 The SMEG (can't remember it's real name.
