Man, if that really is you flying that thing, you are insane!:grin:
Great clip.
Me, I don't qualify for the parameters of the survey, but have about 4 hours done over 25 years in light aircraft.
Always something else to spend the hard earned on.
Also love musems and airshows.:)

Hi Dutch. It's not as crazy as it seems in the video. You can do wonders with editing :)

Awesome place to jump! After getting my A license I headed down from Canada to ZHills with some friends for a week of skydiving. Their Twin Otters were such a treat after suffering in cramped 182s. Had some of my best skydiving experiences there including watching a buddy land short of the field into pond. She thought it was croc infested. Never seen anyone move that fast in water!

Then there was the time when I lost a contact. On my first night jump.

Good times!
