Flying jumpers is really fun some days and blows on others. Be familiar with far 105-you are responsible for everything. Be careful about marginal days, jumpers punching through clouds is a no no and can get the pilot violated. Also the zero feet to 10,000 feet and back down is hard on piston engines-guard against shock cooling. All in all good experience. Make sure your operator is not shady-as posted the reserves must be repacked every 120 days, if they are not doing this you don't want to be involved with them
