sundevil777 93 #176 June 11, 2005 Even if they can't get permission to jump it at WFFC, I think there would be quite a few willing to pay for the lift there and back.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BartsDaddy 4 #178 June 11, 2005 ***Because with the number, a back issue of Parachutist, and a buddy in the police or other gov't agency you can get personal information. ----------------------------------------------------------- With that info they can get your name. Good luck finding anything else out unless you have a really obscure name. When the police run my name they come up with pages and pages of Patrick Johnson good luck picking out wich one is me Besides he was willing to post a wrong number suposedly on accident so when he realized it was wrong why not post the right one.

I have quite a few jet jumps (C-141, C-17, C-5) and don't seem any worse for wear. Most of those jumps were with a MT-XX/MC-4 and combat equipment hung from my 150 pound body too. Jets are no big deal, door or ramp. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,400 #181 June 13, 2005 >Well then, I must be special, cause I've done about a dozen jet jumps . . . Me too! Two of them were at around 200kts, which is about three times the exit speed I'm used to. Needless to say I was ripped limb from limb, since I was unprepared for the implications of jumping a jet.

flyangel2 2 #182 June 13, 2005 Well it looks like I'm in good company with being special enough to jump out of a jet. There is no way in hell you would catch me doing the jet jumps like Chuck has done.

ltdiver 3 #188 June 26, 2005 New news, just today. http://skydiveperris.com/events/rantoul.aspx ltdiver QuoteThe Jet is going to Convention! Even though we are not ready to skydive from it (actually we are ready, it is just the feds aren't ready yet), we will be taking the DC-9 to Rantoul this year to show it off to the skydiving community. If you are interested in going to the convention and would like to fly straight into Rantoul let us know. We are not chartering the jet, however if you would like to share in the expenses of the flight as described in FAR 91.501, come along. Your share of the costs will not exceed $425 for a flight straight into Rantoul. No messing with rental cars, checking your rig with the airlines, or any of those other hassles. (You are responsible for your own accommodation though, and NO, you can't sleep on the plane). The tentative schedule for the first flight will depart Perris Aug. 4, 2005 at 6:00 AM - arrive Rantoul at approximately 1:00 PM local time. The return trip will depart Rantoul Aug. 8, 2005 at 2:00 PM local time and should arrive Perris approximately 7:00 PM. We might have to make a fuel stop. The tentative schedule for the second flight will depart Perris Aug. 10, 2005 at 6:00 AM - arrive Rantoul at approximately 1:00 PM local time.

flyangel2 2 #192 June 28, 2005 If you are limited on space, drop me a line and I can bring out an extra tent for you. Or you can buy a cheap one at Wal Mart once you get to WFFC. They also have those cheap throw away coolers. I'm sure there is someone around that can take you into town, I'd be happy to do that for you.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

billvon 2,400 #194 June 28, 2005 > I'm curious how much gear we can bring though. I mean >like camping gear and maybe a cooler. Well, it is basically an MD-80 and they've got big cargo holds. And we won't be carrying the usual complement of overnight-shipping-company stuff. And even small DC-9's carry 80 people with all their usual mounds of luggage; I doubt we'll have that many people. And if what the website says is true, and they are conducting the flight under part-91 rules, there may be a bit more flexibility on cargo stowage in the cabin.
