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!
