Thanks for posting this Kerry! I’m a brand new jump pilot out at 7 Hills Skydiving in Marshall WI! The tips you gave will definitely help me out a lot. If you’re ever in the area stop by WI97 and say hi, or maybe come jump with me sometime! Rock on man and keep making amazing videos!!🤘
I've been meaning to visit 7 hills for years. It sounds like a good old fashioned club DZ like the St. Croix Valley Skydiving club where I started back in 1986.
I noticed you popped your side window on decent. Does that help with the wind buffeting? My A20s can get pretty uncomfortable after a couple drops due to the excessive wind buffet cut out during open door operations..
We stopped spinning jump planes 25 years ago. It's just not efficient, even with piston aircraft. Turbines don't have any risk of shock cooling so we descend as whatever airspeed is the limit for that plane.
That shuttle approach is insane. I see why your man wanted more training...
It takes skill and practice, but it's the best and fastest method for this runway. Plus it's a ton of fun!
Thanks for flying, Kerry!
Somebody's got to!
My heart sank watching that approach at the end 😝. Love the caravan.
That last bit is pretty fun!
Yay, I made the thumbnail this time!!
You're super famous now!
Looks like you had perfect weather. Never know what you're going to get in WI spring.
You got that right. We've been super lucky this spring. This weekend has been perfect!

👍✅
Diving like a WW2 Stuka flugger but for fun not for bombs..
That's exactly what it feels like!
Cool flying. Greetings from Las Vegas, NV (soon to be Spring Branch, TX).
Thanks for watching!

Yes, popping the window open helps a lot!
It's like a clown car, how do you fit so many jumpers in that plane? Haha Cool video 😊
Butts to nuts!
Not enough and sometimes one too many
Kerry, why not spin the 'Van' down for a rapid descent or would that shock cool the hot end of the engine too much-?

And these planes are not rated for spins anyway.
@@andrewagner2035 I was not aware of that for the 208.
