Unusual jump aircraft?

Recommended Posts

Looking for road trip ideas. This year's theme is different jump aircraft. I'd like to add some new aircraft to my logbook. Who will be jumping something other than the usual dropzone fleet this year?
Peace,
-Dawson.

Impressive! I think it's really cool how you track this, tail numbers, etc. If you do find something cool nearby I might be up for a day/road trip :)

Skydive Dallas usually has a DC-3 for their American Revolution Boogie, and I believe Skydive Arizona has a balloon.



Yep. Ballon all "winter" long. I think May (or is it Easter???) is the end of the season for Burner and his balloons.

Also, SDAZ flies it's DC3 at most of it's larger boogies.

They used to fly the Beech 18 at xmas too. Can't believe people thing the B18 is a novelty aircraft... lol

PS: except for the balloon, all the rides on SDAZ's fleet are regular price tickets.

That's a wonderful list!

I also have this goal of trying as many different aircraft as I can, but my experience is just a fraction of yours so far.

I'm curious, where and when was your jump from the Super Constellation? Any pictures to show us?

You may want part of those pictures blacked out. ;)

I'm betting it was during the WFFC in 96-ish. They had a Connie fly a couple years at the Convention. That's where I jumped it ;)

This was at the World Free Fall Convention, Quincy, Illinois in 1997. Eleven of the above were aircraft that I only jumped once each at the convention. (Thank you Don and company!)
