When did I say anything about slamming throttles around? Everything in my post is how to keep your engine healthy. And as far as somebody pulling your keys and jumping with them, that's something that happened back in the70's and 80's. Jumpers these days have enough sense not to do stuff like that. But as far as popping somebody that has it coming? Jumpers are a tough breed, if they deserve it they will take it like a man. One drop zone I worked at, one of the pilots punched out another pilot. The owner just laughed at the guy that got hit and nobody lost their job, everybody agreed he had it coming. Would I do that at my airline job, nooooooo. Yeah diverdriver.com is good, I know the guy, flew with him on the 300-way in 2003, 14 twin otters in formation. Way Fun!!
