Ok,
I'm locked in with an east coast outfit to fly a jump plane for them this spring/summer season. We've discussed the different aspect of what this type of flying entails, things to expect / to look out for, and training sessions will take place once I'm out there before the season begins.
For those of you who have done jump piloting before, is it realisitic to even think about getting 500 hours for the season? Weekends I hear are just crazy and 4 or 5 flights on weekdays are expected, weather permitting.
It seems like this will be a lot of fun and will be a learning experience.
I'm interested in hearing some of your stories, things you learned to do / NOT to do, what to look out for and be careful of, etc etc....
