QuoteWho is the Z Hills pilot from 1981?
That's Val Thal. She flew me many times in the C-195 and the DC-3.

Is that the old 196 the pilot is standing in front of (I know it's technically a 195, but we called it a 196 because of the 450hp engine on it instead of the standard 250hp)?
Anyone know what ever happened to that plane, I'm sure I still have oil on something from jumping it
I remember Jeff Searles "coaching" a jump pilot about learning to fly it. Just take it out on the back runway and do some taxi runs up and down. takeoffs are just fast taxis....
Later, on his first or 2nd load in that plane, it lost oil pressure after dropping the load and he had to dead stick it. I figured he could handle it after that

At West Tennessee Skydiving, there's a frame hanging on the wall of a newspaper clipping with a picture featuring the world's youngest and oldest active skydivers...
Who were they?
Charlie Mullins (at age 12, I think) and Smitty (age unknown, probably in his 80's?).
