- This weekend I got to fly skydivers in a beefed up 182. As always, it was a blast. Included are a couple of first time jumpers and a lot of fun jumpers. Enjoy!
This video is for entertainment purposes only. It has been highly edited leaving out pre-flight, run-ups and a number of other boring things. Safety is always the top priority! - บันเทิง
Oh yeah!
At Homestead in1974 I was jumping and flying the 182 jump plane!
Wonderful days!❤
That's how I remember most of my jumps back in the seventies. Loved those late afternoon jumps with the sun low in the sky and the anticipation of a few cold beers afterwards. Ok, at lot of cold beers.
Would you do it now or if you had it to do over, would you. Pilot Southern Cross for years
@@pauleyplay At the age of seventy two with great grandchildren, I have a slightly different frame of mind now, but if you erase all the old experiences and create the possibilities of new and exciting things, then yes.
The biggest danger is not the risk of death or injury but one of addiction and the sacrificing of all else.
This brings back fun memories. My first paid gig after getting my commercial ticket was hauling skydivers in a 1956 182 at a small airport here in Denton, TX. That was in 1979 or 1980. We usually went up to 7500 or 10,000 AGL. I also did one static line jump too. Fun times!
I’m taking lessons at that airport now 😁
LOng ride to 10 ! 8.5 bad enough. Sure was a fun ride back down !!!!
that guy in the grey and yellow suit reminds me of my cat. he would knock stuff over just to watch it fall. :)
Memories, memories!! I was a skydive-pilot in the 70th in Holland. Flew the C182 Skylane and the C172 Reims Rocket. Good times. Thanks for the film. I enjoyed it.
Wow - What a nostalgia trip. I learned to skydive in WF in the 80's. I got hooked into the life and went on to have a career in aviation. My folks were from Cooperstown. Thanks for sharing.
I like this video!! I'm currently jumping from a 182 every chance I get this video is dead on what it's like at Skydive Kentucky. Good job!! 🙂
Bro I’m so jealous of how your door closes 😂😭
Great smooth flying
3:45 That was amazing to see how much aileron you used to keep yourself level with all of them on your right wing! Thanks for sharing!
It's almost full aileron and a bunch of rudder ;)
i was going to say exactly the same thing. kudos to the pilot.
Try a big marine outon the tip !!
@@bobfromfargo8026 Nonsense
@@bobfromfargo8026 Can you feel the CG shift when they jump out?
Old dudes are always like “5 left”…lol
Yep! 😂😊
Thanks pilote
Ahh those fond memories :)
Nice plane 💗
I did the same thing building time in a 1957 182 on its third engine in Pittsfield Me.
What a great day :)
amaaaazing
Made my first three jumps from a Cessna 180 and a 182 Dublin Va. The 180 didn't have a step you had to stand on the wheel. Fell of the wheel on a static line jump. Was upside down feet up when chute opened. Extremely terrifying
Just like my drop zone.... 4 human specimens packed into a tiny flying box.
What's the plan if a Jumper gets stuck on the Step or Tail and cannot release? Land on Asphalt, Dirt or Water?
Hey, if someone wants to jump out of a perfectly good airplane while I build my flight hours, I'm fine with that.😂
Hi Bob! How many hours did you have when you got this job?
I'm hoping for this job come 2024
No ATC comms?
Hold the door dude..last guy
Yep..that looks like a jump plane alright 🤨
the Tennis ball and strings for the door got me hahahaha
Best kind of planes to jump out of lol
Guessing you takeoff max gross most of the time, what flap setting do you normally use for takeoff?
We don't use flaps on takeoff or landing. Just burns out the flap motor and there is no need here. Flat fields on both ends and 3k foot long runway. Plenty of length ;)
@@bobfromfargo8026 ok thanks for the insight!
2nd noth or about 20 degrees Southern Cross Downdville Md Really !!!
I jumped from a 182 .. I was ready to jump out by the time we got to 10,500 Ft
What altitude are these guys going out at?
Static line is usually 3500. The first guys did Hop and pops at 5500. Most 182 dropzones 10k is full altitude. You can get higher but it takes longer and uses more fuel because they don't have the climbing power of a turboprop
Its summer take that damm door off. Lots more fun,Dump em out Roll over to the left Let the nose fall. Carry plane around level about 200+ Done correct you will look up & there they are. Do it again in under the guys canopy. Skid to flaps down 1st on the ground again. Now thats fun. Just as mutch fun last lift 8.5 dump em. Same roll over come around about 200 under the guys in freefall bleed off the speed Shut down the engine.Fly right along with them. Break it off deadstick in right into the tiedown. Got paid by tach hour I didnt care. To young and dumb. Would not trade the memory !! Southern Cross Downsville Md
What is the max altitude this plane get get for skydive ?
We go up to 13,500MSL
@@bobfromfargo8026 in what ????
I only put two inches of fuel per tank, every other flight. Keeping it lite, but I did dead stick it in a couple times. Lol
Where does one go about getting a vertical swing door like that?
Not sure, it was installed long before I showed up ;)
You make it out the stock door. The hard part is gettin it to fly. I always hated the door 1
Bob from FARGO AIRWAYS ? 😊
Thanks For Sharing
Sorry but just casually says "remembered to turn my AAD on" whilst already in the plane?!?!?!? WTF... No pin check before getting in the plane normally?!
Pilot should be watching the jumpers on exit for possible problems and that do not snag their gear on anything. He spends a lot of time looking lower left, possibly watching airspeed.
It's really not that great an idea to put copyrighted music on your vids, sooner or later your vid will get deleted by YT because of it.
I hate that bloody small plane, sorry
