Info on Skydiving Outfits

Anyone haul skydivers around to build initial time requirements? If so, where did you fly, what was the name of the group, and what did you think about it?

Thanks

Yes.

** Horizon Skydiving = Harrisonville, MO (3 cessna 182s). No longer in operation.

** Greater Kansas City Skydiving Club = Independence, MO (3 182s and 2 206s). No longer in operation.

** Skydive Chicago = Ottawa, IL (USA) (2 182s and 2 Twin Otters). Still in operation and doing well.

I flew jumpers for about 3,000 hours. Quit a ride. It's not for everyone. There are limitations you might run into with only flying jumpers like no x-c time. I liked it so much I started a website for jump pilots. www.DiverDriver.com.

You mean time requirements for jobs or time requirements for ratings?

Danger, Will Robinson! This place has a bad reputation locally for killing students on a fairly regular basis, and being connected to drug smuggling operations. I'd be cautious about them.

I probably can get more details if someone needs them.

...not only that, but they make you jump out of those black helicopters you're always hearing about.

Your information is extraordinarily dated. That was over 20 years ago and was a different owner.

Have you stopped molesting children?

It sounds like between flying jumpers and smuggling drugs there could really be some oppotunities for a low time guy like yourself, lots of night cross country to say the least.

I believe that the owner spent a little time in the Can for some other than legal flying he did at night back and forth across the border.

He died in a skydiving accident not too long ago. I think his family still runs the DZ.
