F104 Starfighter

How about a Swoop Pond? How long, how wide and how deep? How about a Landing Area for Tandem Jumpers to reduce the probability of them geting hurt? How about a Landing Area for Jumpers who have injuries and they want to reduce the probability of them geting hurt? How about a Landing Area for Beginner Jumpers to reduce the probability of them geting hurt? How about Dog Kennels for those who have Dogs and want to leave them in a Safe Enclosed Area? How long of a Runway do you need for a Twin Otter or Caravan to land and with minimum Taxi, Load, then take off again? At $20-30 per minute Operating Costs, that seems to add up quickly. How many Jumpers do you need daily to keep a Twin Otter or Caravan in business and profitable?

If you were trying to 1. keep operating and jump costs to a minimum 2. keep Aircraft taxi time to a minimum (Twin Otter costs $62 per minute if the hourly rate is $3,700) 3. keep Jumpers next to all of this required and give them everything they like What would the Perfect Dropzone Airport look like in regards to length of Runway for Airplane, location of landing zone for Airplane and Jumpers, Jumpers loading zone, where would it all be in relationship to the Runway, how would all this work and is there a perfect dropzone like this anywhere?

If Robert Pooley was found Guilty of the Charges of Fraud and Identity Theft, does that assist or clear Bill Dause of the 40 Million Dollar Lawsuit caused when one of Pooleys Tandem Instructor Students Yong Kwon died with his Tandem Passenger Tyler Turner at Lodi?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — After a seven-day trial, a federal jury found Robert Allen Pooley, 49, of Acampo, guilty of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft related to tandem skydiving instructor courses, U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced. According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, in 2010 Pooley obtained ratings as a “tandem examiner” with the U.S. Parachute Association (USPA) and with Uninsured United Parachute Technologies LLC (UPT), a manufacturer of tandem parachute systems. He then began conducting training courses for candidates seeking to obtain their USPA Tandem Instructor ratings and/or their certifications to use UPT tandem parachute systems. The Tandem Instructor certifications Pooley provided enabled students to conduct tandem jumps with members of the public throughout the United States and abroad. Pooley charged money for these courses and conducted them at a skydiving business located in Acampo. In August 2015, USPA and UPT suspended Pooley’s tandem examiner ratings, which meant that he could no longer conduct the tandem instructor courses on his own. Nevertheless, he continued running USPA and UPT tandem instructor rating courses without authorization, and he concealed his suspensions from tandem instructor candidates. Pooley falsely told students that he was a tandem examiner, led them to believe they could obtain USPA and UPT tandem ratings through his courses, hid the fact that he had been suspended, and helped students fill out USPA and UPT rating paperwork to further the impression that the students would legitimately get their tandem ratings through his courses. As part of the scheme, Pooley used a digital image of the signature of another properly rated USPA and UPT tandem examiner to sign off on training that Pooley himself had conducted when the other tandem examiner was not even in the country. In 2016, Pooley accepted numerous students in this manner from around the world, including the Republic of Korea, Chile, and Mexico. Each student paid approximately $1,100 for these courses. The signed documents that Pooley provided some of the students led them to believe they were certified to conduct tandem skydives with members of the public. On Aug. 6, 2016, one such student fell to his death in a tandem skydiving accident with a customer who also perished. After those deaths, numerous victims of Pooley’s scheme asked for their money back, but he did not repay them, and several students had to pay for entirely new tandem instructor courses at other locations. This case is the product of an investigation by the Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Katherine T. Lydon and Dhruv M. Sharma are prosecuting the case. Pooley is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 26, 2024, by U.S. District Judge William B. Shubb. Pooley faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count of wire fraud and a mandatory two-year sentence for aggravated identity theft. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables. https://www.justice.gov/usao-edca/pr/san-joaquin-county-skydiver-found-guilty-running-unauthorized-tandem-skydiving

This showed up on my Google news. From the SF Chronicle/SF Gate Website. A skydiving instructor who taught courses at the beleaguered Lodi Parachute Center in San Joaquin County has been found guilty of fraud and identity theft as part of a scheme tied to two deaths at the site. The seven-day trial in Sacramento outlined how Robert Pooley, 49, certified student tandem instructors using a forged signature after his own license was revoked. Pooley charged around $1,100 for the courses, which enabled instructors to take first-time jumpers into the sky, prosecutors said. One of the instructors falsely certified by Pooley, a 25-year-old Korean man named Yong Kwon, died while harnessed in tandem with first-time jumper 18-year-old Tyler Turner in August 2016, after Kwon was unable to successfully deploy neither the main parachute nor the reserve one. That tragedy resulted in a $40 million civil judgment against the center’s former owner, Bill Dause. Tyler’s mom Francine Turner told SFGATE last year that, as of July 2023, none of that money had been paid. Pooley was not charged with causing the death of Kwon or Turner. “Pooley falsely told students that he was a tandem examiner, led them to believe they could obtain USPA and UPT tandem ratings through his courses,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement on Friday, referring to the United States Parachute Association and United Parachute Technologies. “Pooley accepted numerous students in this manner from around the world, including the Republic of Korea, Chile, and Mexico,” according to the statement. To falsify the students’ certifications, Pooley used the digital image of the signature of another instructor who was out of the country. Pooley faces up to 20 years in prison for each count of wire fraud and a two-year sentence for aggravated identity theft. His sentencing is set for Aug. 26. His attorney did not respond to a request for comment by the time of publication. The Lodi Parachute Center has been the site of 28 fatalities since 1985. Alongside the $40 million 2021 civil judgment brought by the Turner family, the center was issued fines totaling $933,000 by the FAA in 2010 and 2011, and it was subject to an FBI raid in 2018. The center remains open today. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/lodi-skydiving-instructor-found-guilty-19481878.php

I believe this link takes you to the Court Papers Lawsuit. https://www.cliffordlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/David-Schilling-Second-Amended-Complaint.pdf I see they Lawsuit is asking for in excess of $50,000 and Legal Costs. Why don't they put the numbers of what they are asking for? WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, KIMBERLY A. SCHILLING, as Power of Attorney and on behalf of DAVID SCHILLING, demands judgment against Defendant, SKYVENTURE, LLC, for a sum in excess of FIFTY-THOUSAND ($50,000.00) and costs of this suit.

This video says he has 80 Jumps.

This appeared in my youtube recommendations. Video below says he has 80 Jumps. Appears David Shilling has severe paralysis injuries. I remember many High Schools and Colleges removed Trampolines from their Physical Education Classes mid 1970's due to similar injuries.

80 Jumpers at $150 = $12,000. 80 Jumpers at $200 = $16,000. Does shutting down the Engines for reloads add a significant amount to the operating costs?

Is there a short term and long term plan for this Jet flying Skydivers at Perris? Is it stored indoors or outdoors? How many Jumpers does it haul? What is its time to load, unload, reload?

Youtube Video here:

Bill could have used this time to say that Tandem Jumps are $150 and Standard Jumps are $25 from 13,000. Promote his business so he can make payments on that 40 Million Dollar Lawsuit. https://www.parachutecenter.com/

Is it possible to start a New Category "Skydiving Business" for those who 1. are in the Skydiving Business 2. want to start a Skydiving Business 3. want to discuss the Skydiving Business

Not sure where to post this. Bill, age 81, probably sees this as a good advertisement video. His business is getting world news and not having to pay for the advertisement. Video says Bill owes 40 Million Dollars for the death. As a general rule in Lawsuits involving accidental deaths, 2011 Reno Air Race Incident where the Mustang crashed into the spectators killing 10 and injuring 69, a Human Death caused by an accident is worth about 5-10 Million Dollars. "Organizers of the Reno National Championship Air Races have established a $77 million fund to be distributed to those who suffered injuries or lost family members in last year’s mass-casualty crash in Nevada. According to the Reno Air Racing Association Accident Compensation Fund’s website, the program is designed to provide claimants prompt compensation while avoiding the costs and delays associated with lawsuits. Compensation will be based on categories of injuries, including $15,000 for bruises and cuts, $45,000 for moderate injuries such as broken bones and torn tendons and $75,000 for major injuries that involved surgery or third-degree burns, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported." https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/west/2012/08/27/260774.htm The conversation between Bill and the Interviewing Woman is interesting. "You're just saying that once the bodies started to pile up you just don't feel as much as you used to from the beginning? Well I feel for it but I I realize that it's just part of life, part of moving on, part of the sport if you will." "Today you owe the Turner family $40 million. Yes I do. Are you going to pay them anything? No. Nothing. Why? I don't have it." Haunting video shows a teenager’s final hours. After recording the video, Tyler Turner boarded a plane to skydive with an instructor. However, the parachute failed to open and both men plummeted to their deaths in 2016. The Parachute Center in Lodi, California, has reportedly been linked to 28 deaths since 1985. It’s leaving many to wonder why the Parachute Center is still allowed to send people jumping out of planes. Inside Edition’s Lisa Guerrero sat down with the skydiving school’s founder, Bill Dause.
