What a riot. Drop Zone? Space Center? NE Florida? I'm in Tampa....Z-Hills was my home for 10 years.Hello fellow cob roller killers, salutations from NE Florida ! Life long hog hunter but 1st year thermal junkie. I have serious SUS envy [wood] for all the pork chop targets you have in Texas. I want to thank Lawman & members for their real world product reviews, it made my thermal decision easy. Thank you as well for the entertainment & good natured sarcasm I feel right at home. Took this one last night in a hardwood swamp biggest so far from this property. Regards all. Jeff
Last drop I made was in the early 80's in the Navy low level on a us forestry service DZ resulting in a broken right leg missed metal fence post by a 4 ft, wind bad, other member broke pelvis never made another drop. Drop Zone is referring to my old dive boat. I fly into Deland a lot for lunch runs, do you know Dennis Dixon ? He must be in seventies now good pilot & instructor. I only fly light sport now, medical keeps my from holding private.DZ are you an active skydiver? That's what I meant by my comment. Never know we might have a lot of mutual friends I have jumped at all the east coast DZ's over the years. DeLand a ton too.
Pipers, Taylorcrafts, Aeroncas a couple experimentals all taildraggers. a lot of fun minimal range & speed 85- 140 knots. low & slow.No don't know Dennis, but know a ton of people at DeLand. Not the drivers so much the passengersWhat do you fly exactly? Would love to hear about it. I miss the 'ol Super Otters those planes are such a work horse fleet for not just jumpers, but bush work you name it the Otter has done it.
