I jumped Mike Mullins King Air many times at Quincy. It is awesome, we often got 15,000 ft in about 7 minutes. Mike was always the first to take off at the WFFC and the last to touch down. He seemed to be at the controls all day, thats dedication.
23,000 ft high altitude jumps took 14 minutes to altitude and when there was low cloud base it took 90 seconds to climb to exit alt 4,500 ft.
Best of all when conditions were too windy Mike let me hire the aircraft and flew zero g runs for a few friends, what other jump operators can say the same?

All is true! Very fast ! Mike is a maverick, great for the sport! Shake 'em up! One Warning: Your ride to altitude will be less than 7 minutes if you fart. So Beware! Mike does not allow shitting in his plane!

That is sooo unfair to those of us who are disabled. I can't help it, I was just born that way. I guess I'll never ride in Mullins plane :(
....and I'm not getting throwed out of the plane anymore. A little tolerance please!

Oh, you can do it - once. If he finds out who it was you are history. At the very least he will make everyone get out.
"Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
Anybody see City Confidential last night!

I've never seen or jumped mikes king air but i know dives like that are definately possible.
Got told about a world championship in europe, where they were using a porter for the 4-way comp, and the porter from 13k would land before the skydivers had pulled!! pretty much dive straight for the numbers, pull out and land using the props in beta mode to slow the plane down!

QuoteQuotetalking powered dive here.
So this Mike fella,flew Spitfires in WWII did he? Yikes! I've heard the plane is fast but I didn't believe that he actually beats the jumpers to the ground
I thought the 'nornal' Kingair at Hollister was a quick ship - I'm not sure I'd agree with those who say there's less room than in a C 182 (I live in one) but it sure is cozy. I kinda miss being able to salute the pilot on exit in the larger ship as I take a stand off the step

What's great about Mullins' King Air?
His mechanic!
Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...

Re. Porters with cracked wings .....
Why any jump pilot would want to overspeed any jump plane on the way down is a mystery to me.
Reminds me of an incident in 1979. A young Cessna 180 pilot told me why it was okay to exceed red line in a 20-plus-year-old airplane. The following Sunday we arrived at the airport to see it slumped in the grass with a broken under carriage leg, due to a fatigue crack.
Who did he think he was fooling?
Exceeding red line in 30 year old airplanes is just plain stupid!
I have told more than one jump pilot that if he see him doing red line (Vne) in the pattern one more time, I will take my money to some other DZ.
