There was also one at Quincy one year. I think the FAA turned a blind eye on these aircraft for a short time. A lot were bought with the hope they could eventually be used for commercial operations. It just didn't happen. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Someone once told me the AN2 giant biplane could never be used in this country commercially because of pressure from the American aircraft industry.I wonder if the LET faces the same hurdles? In some ways the Brits are more restrictive than our own FAA, yet they fly these aircraft. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

The turbine engine is the future, but it will take the Japanese or European competition(like the Walter) to give us affordable engines for the smaller operator. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Yes, I know how to spell crash. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

The most critical time in an aircraft is takeoff and landing. Crahes on takeoff continue to kill skydivers. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

The Walter turbine engines are so much cheaper than the Pratt and Whitney engines used in most of our turbine powered aircraft. Dont't know about maintenance, and fuel consumption. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Crashworthy seats with a 3 way shoulder harness included with the safety belts(would this be a type7?)In addition build the cockpit and cabin for max crew and pax survival. Why not airbags and seats designed to collapse with high g forces? Yes it's going to get expensive at first. NASA could help. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

One of my friends flys S-61s with one eye. I think you should give it a shot. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

How is the LET 410 for skydiving?I think there is one here in the US and more in Europe. How does it compare to other more familiar aircraft used here? Anybody know? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

We physically put gear pins in aircraft that are being towed, having other than routine maintenance performed, or left on the ramp for extended time. This prevents the gear from retracting as long as the pins are installed. Pins must be removed during preflight or you will not be able to retract the gear in flight.

It does not look good. Under the few exemptions, I don't think we are included. I think the FAA was primarily aiming at the helicopter operators operating under part 91 and decided to include all small operators (just to be safe of course).

Would it be easier on the body to hit a jello pit, pig shit pit, or would that be like water? Why not go through the roof of a pillow factory (preference feathers vs foam rubber? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I think an unconscious jumper was saved by his Cypress at Lake Wales during a world record attempt years back. I think. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Does anyone Remember the Tampa Skydivers?I made my first jump with them at ZHills in 1961 still in high school. Warren Kauffman was the president. He quit jumping a couple of years ago; a great man.His son Ricky, was ten years old when he helped me pack for my third static line jump. In the process we backed a line seperator that eventually slided down to the top of my risers and came off.After that, Warren told Ricky not to help me pack.

You have my prayers and vibres. Hang in there. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I had the opportunity at Rantoul to do the 30,000' jump. I did it and it was great. During my training in the WW Vietnam days I did the airborne-ranger thing but never did HALO.The HALO team did a first class job. I would highly recommend these guys. Being a 59 year old helicopter pilot,(who at times needs adult supervision),I feel that life is too iffy to pass up a chance like this.Ps I went out the door with 1 other American and 3 Frenchmen(1 American stayed in the aircraft with a little hypoxia). Bliss. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I know one little DZ was started so people would not have to drive half way across the state to jump. Profit is still not the issue here. Sure, they will most likely never get a turbine aircraft, and some of the jumpers leave once in a while to jump one, but they are there if you need a place to jump. Not many skygods hang here.

OK, I'll continue to flat pack it. Thanks for the help. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Has anyone pro packed a Challenger ? I know you should follow the recommended method, but has anyone had any luck pro packing it? First time post . thanks. [email protected][email]
