#kingair #stol #skydive #takeoff
Skydive jump run in a modified King Air A90. This plane was completely stripped from all unnecessary weight and the 550hp engines were swapped with 750hp turboprops giving it enough power to take off heavy from the 2900ft short runway. This 1967 Beechcraft King Air A90 Taurus conversion climbs to 18,000 feet in 7 minutes! Absolute HOT ROD of an airplane. It’s the perfect aircraft for Skydive Space Center, which offers the highest skydives in the world.
This plane is incredible. Video ends with multiple angles of take off and landing footage.

At last a pilot who cuts the crap. No ego, loads of humour. He just gets on with job; climbing, dumping his payload and returning as efficiently as possible.

@randyporter3491 8 месяцев назад

Im a pilot and was invited to skydive years ago. Sadly, I had a prior trip planned and couldn't go. I remember now, I left on the 9:15 out of Nopesville, enroute to Fthatastan. Oh well, maybe next time. That said, a big thank you for an incredible video ! What a beast of an airplane. Mohammed was great and gave us good insight from his perspective. So thank you FF and Mo for the great ride ! Safe skies !

@9greatdanes981 8 месяцев назад

I got to do that with Mike Mullins king air 2. Had the Guinness record for getting skydivers up, out and back at the airport. Sometimes I would just go for the ride and take pictures, called the E ticket! Mike would dive down past the free falling skydivers, pull up at low altitude. Do one corkscrew turn to slow down, and lane on the runway. Rides were 10$. Best roller coaster ride!

@WolfandCatUnite 8 месяцев назад

@DeereX748 8 месяцев назад

I wonder how many times in a week he makes that same flight? Repetition, repetition, repetition, until it becomes automatic. Flying a skydiving plane has many differences in the flight procedures from "regular" Part 91 flight.

@david.b4186 8 месяцев назад

@@DeereX748 Even though, the Pilot has to navigate through all different air traffic control sectors en route to deliver skydivers, maintain CG Balance while skydiving and then make a steep dive for short finals runway to slot himself and clear the bushes just before runway. The other way is performing a steep take off to clear power lines. They both require skill from the Pilot and therefore this Pilot, does actually really thoroughly deserve the rap for his skill displayed performing it dutifully, courageously and with dedication.

@DeereX748 8 месяцев назад

@@david.b4186 I was talking about slowing to just above stall, dropping flaps and using differential thrust to maintain straight and level flight during the offloading of the skydivers. Not many Part 91 pilots do that as a matter of course in their trips from Point A to B. I thought the pilot was exceptional, he easily stayed on top of all his duties and still had time to explain stuff to the guy making the video. It also looks like an absolute hoot with the steep climbs and descents.

@jasonatkins1467 8 месяцев назад

I miss flying jump planes. They trained me in the A/B 90 when I had 25 hours of muilti time. Enjoyed the King Air, Twin Otter, Casa, and Caravans! Flying at drop zones is amazing because unlike passenger airports, everyone is there to have a good time.

@headdown1 14 дней назад

I've jumped from all of those except the Caravan. My favorite was the Casa 212. I've never been in the aircraft on the fast descent, but it still blows my mind that they usually beat me and the other jumpers to the ground.

@baron1405 8 месяцев назад

Totally cool to see skydiving from the plane's perspective. I did one jump when I was a Freshman in college in 1979 in Antioch, CA. It was a solo static line jump from 3000 feet because it would be four more years until tandem jumps were available and higher altitudes became the norm. Eight hours of training, hanging from a beam, practicing emergency procedures. I remember once my chute opened, seeing the plane dive to return to the field. Amazing experience. Thanks for the video and your channel!

@sanfranciscobay 8 месяцев назад

I began Jumping 1977, age 22 at Livermore, CA. Antioch and Pope Valley, Napa were the other choices. Made 13 Static Line Jumps from a Cessna 182 4 seater from their Dirt Runway. 6 Static Lines and then 5 second free falls x 3, 10 Second Free Falls x 2 and Opening the Parachute myself. All Landings were extremely hard under a Round Military Canopy. Felt like I was jumping from a 2 story moving building. Had 1 standup landing where I must have hit an updraft. Last jump I tore muscles and ligaments in the ball of my foot. That put me on crutches for 3 months, limping for 1 year and never returned due to College, Employment, lack of money and other responsibilities.

@richardsmith4187 8 месяцев назад

Great video of the A90, I used to ride along in a Beech 18 and after dropping the jumpers from 12,500, it was an elevator ride down and usually we could land before the jumpers. The A90 really is a rocket !!

@davidh7799 8 месяцев назад

King Air with two turboprop engines! What are the flight specs on that mamajama?

@jj4791 8 месяцев назад

I'm sure they leave nothing to chance with maintenance and calculations. But if you lost one engine, the other developing additional 250 horsepower, I wonder what the (improved) single engine climb rate is? And also, how much faster is the Vmc blue line with that additional asymmetric thrust? Seems these airports should invest some coin to bury the power lines at the end of their runways... It can't possibly be insurmountable to do so.

@FloridaFlying 8 месяцев назад

From Mo the pilot “If I lost an engine at take off as long as I’m 120 or above I can do 1000-1500 ft Per min, that’s why we carry the extra speed on take off” The ground perspective does make it look close, but there is margin built in
