  1. Look it up in the Airport Facility Directory or go online and search for the airport your dropzone is on. It should be listed there already.
  2. Looks like a Caravan w/ a cargo pod to me
  3. Having a new paint job can protect the airframe from getting corrosion if there is any bare metal showing. People will tend to clean the bugs off of a nice shiney looking airplane, which can help reduce parasite drag a litltle and help w/ the climb rate. Whatever you do dont try and polish it. I've polished a couple of luscombes, a swift, and a straight tail C-182. It litterally takes hundreds of hours of hard work and a lot of money for compounds and you still have to keep up w/ the polishing to keep it looking good. Paint doesn't add that much weight. Good luck w/ the boogie.
  4. Probably just a clever way to hide a hole in the drywall!
  5. Yeah, I think we deserve at least 4 months of perfect weekends as payment
  6. Yeah he made a couple and flew 2 or 3 on Sat.
  7. Got in 4 jumps and flew 12 loads.
  8. It looks like the main D-bag and pilot chute are hung up on somthing causing the spin.
  9. I have jumped a Ven. 107 for about 300 jumps and have great openings. Way better then the Sabre 150 I used to jump. I always propack and am not that neat of a packer.
  10. Now this guy was probably a jump pilot!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ546BEps-M
  11. Its not the cold, its the humidity that makes things miserable.
  12. Dont know about the WCF but it was -8 at 4k. The jumpers said it wasn't as bad as they thought it would be. It was a demo for a groundhogs day parade.
  13. It was 5 deg. today and I flew one load. Was the coldest temps I have ever witnessed people jumping in!!!
  14. You must not have seen the late Bobby Younkin do his aerobatic routine in a stock Beech 18 that included low level loops and rolls. Very cool!!!
