AndyAnderson 0 #1 October 14, 2003 I just got word from Mike that he is going to base the Kingair at Taft CA for winter. Sadly no Coolidge but also no holds for traffic, more altitude and $14 jumps out of the super King Air. The deal is so fresh he has not yet updated his web site but it is happening. Anybody know where I can learn to surf near to Taft? Andy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjackson 0 #2 October 14, 2003 Mike has'nt been too Florida in a while. I wish he would come back here to stir things up a little. People here are beginning to forget how good his plane is. The dropzones could use a little price war too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyAnderson 0 #3 October 14, 2003 I also miss Florida but I think there are too many DZs fighting for a piece of the pie. I don't think Mike wants a price war, He can only fly so many with one plane and he brings lots of foreigners to the reigon who then go jump at other local DZs, only a fool would drop his prices because all his regular jumpers would just pay less and still jump at their home DZ. Mike Just wants a place to operate and to give us skydivers the best possible deal. Andy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cornholio 0 #5 October 15, 2003 So....when does Winter begin ?? I might be driving to Palm Springs at the end of the month and would stop by if it's there. Well, maybe I'll just stop by anyway, but this would be a lot more encouraging...hehe Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyAnderson 0 #6 October 15, 2003 The Mullins King Air will start operating on weekends from the 6th Dec and then full time from the 20th Dec to the end of Feb and then weekends to the end of April. The DZ will be operating to its normal schedule for the rest of the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SLOfreefall 0 #7 October 15, 2003 I for one will find myself in Taft way too much this winter!! I've read about this plane for quite a while now, and I look forward to experiencing the rocket ride to altitude. I think I might finally have a home DZ... at least for winter.
