How so? What's so bad about this? Aircraft? Management? Airspace?
Just curious

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.

Aint that the truth, just picked up a 182 gig in TX flying divers near Austin while I wait on my military flying career to start.

Look forward to the new experiences.

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.
