When I used to CFI out of TLH, there was a short paved airport that also had a grass strip that I would use a lot for short/soft operations. A sky diving operation also functioned out of there. Usually the dive pilots were really good about announcing when they were dropping the meatballs.

This time, they didn't. We were on the downwind, I was heads down for a moment showing a student something... I looked up, and a dude under canopy had floated down right into our path.... "I GOT IT!!" A diving hard turn prevented us from giving him the Sully Canadian Goose treatment.

I had some friends land at a non towered airport in VA when it was 500 OVC. That was back when we were all new to IFR flying and they were excited over their hard IFR approach and landing...

... and then came a couple of skydivers through the overcast.

And i always like the statement "why would I ever jump out of a perfectly good airplane!?" In my life experience, including the first crash aftermath I saw first hand, those were never perfectly good airplanes - so feel free to jump.

Its interesting the black "look at me!" biker shorts, or pants, is now in vogue at the airport. And grocery store. And definitely Target.

Quincy?

Yep! Loved taking students up there.

Never underestimate the media's ability to exaggerate, but if your responding to an RA causes bins to fly open and FAs to smack the ceiling, you're probably doing it wrong......

FTB My experience has been mostly on the 9. The PAC designer of the 9 was apparently from Finland because he most certainly tried to replicate a sauna. My few experiences on the 90 have been quit nice compared to the 9. I would like tech ops to bring over from the 9, only one thing. That one thing is our sweat California car shades! Other than that my seniority at this company does not allow me to get a real scientific sampling across the fleets:(

BTW who ever said that the Phillies suck?

Sounds like Bill Lear might have been from Finland as well. I've flown all but one model and they have all been AFRICA Hot! After about an Hr at FL410 it finally starts cooling off. Might need to try that fancy powder

And this girl definitely needs some Extra Strength Gold Bond
