No surprise there, I always thought there was a bit of meatball in you.

Open Now ! In Ridgely Maryland, it’s where the DelMarVa gang moved to. It’s where the Pelican Skydivers use to be. https://www.facebook.com/skydivechesapeake The only activity on the airport is Skydiving.

Skydive Wichita got a sneak-preview of Cessnas' new Sky Courier jump-plane when they borrowed it for a half-day of testing on April 1. "It is super easy to load" reported Skydive Wichita's ground crew member Dick Shovinski. We just pre-load the pallets beside manifest. Straight out the door and into the pallet with zero chance of passengers wandering into propellers. Then the automated truck drives them down to the end of the taxiway and shoves the pallets into the plane. Integrated cargo tie-downs secure pallets to the airplane automatically. "I tried riding along for the first few loads, but got bored and spent the rest of the morning hooking up with a cute passenger who has big ..... " Tandem instructors report that strapping in is a no-brainer with the automatic securing system. "I only had one problem with one student who was busy taking selfies and got her foot (don't ask) entangled with a seat-belt. But we quickly sorted that out. I love the way the seat-belts completely retract out of the way before the door opens. The powered door is great too. Exits are a breeze with no handles for students to cling to. Even my worst, clingy student could not delay the exit when the pallet floor tilted. Yee! Hah! Out the door!" Shovinski reported that Sky Courier pallets are easy to clean. "We had one student lose her 3:00 am. pizza, but we just tilted the pallet and hosed it out. Nothing sticks to that Teflon lining!"
