[net.rec.skydive] Jumping 727's

dmeyer@ti-csl (03/03/86)

I was noticing that Deland (sp?) is planning to have a 727 there for
one of their jump ships at the Easter Boogie.  Are any of you going
out there to try a "jet" dive?  Does anyone know anything about 
what it's like?  I don't know how slow they can go on jump run, but
I'll bet it'll be 150 mph +.  I wonder if they are planning to
put a full line-up of folks down that rear stairway for mass exits.
I'll be interested in reading about how this all goes ... I won't
be goin'.
