Some is here say but I heard they don't insure the plane, it only pays $5 per load, its a very old beatup 182, and this guy got in trouble for flying loads on his pvt, the owner, and letting observer rides in which the observer killed themselves.

I know several Chris's from temple but none have anything to do with aviation.... I'd like to do some jumper dumping at some point. is the operation there everyday or just a weekend gig? is the pay any good?

Hate to say it, but you about exactly described most of the DZ's I've seen, including the one I worked for.
