Grand Caravan with 900hp engine upgrade

This is a video clip as a response to a conversation regarding the dangers involved with proximity to the prop of an aircraft. This video pertains to skydivers and the safety measures we are to follow regarding approaching the plane (even when the prop is not moving-the FJC [first jump course] teaches you NEVER approach the aircraft in front of the prop. IT CAN decapitate you, and that would just ruin a good skydive before you even started.
REGARDLESS of how 'fun' it may look to perform 'stunts' such as the wing rider (in the video this is a response to), it is not only YOUR SAFETY, but the WHOLE PLANE FULL OF PEOPLE whose lives are jeapordized by some activities.
Yes, GO HAVE FUN!, PLAY HARD, but BE SMART! and respect your fellow skydivers and pilots.

It looks like somebody ripped off an engine from a Metro III and put it on that, lol

Got another contact.. 1800 numbers only work in country. Or an email would make it easy. Thanks

Hi,

I note you mention it is not coming back, however do you guys know how to get in contact with the owner.

[extremewheelchairs]

@bowie44448 yes. contact Adam us 1 800 DO 1 JUMP (Canadian #) for our owner- we have the same companys skyvan right now so he'd know who owns it. The company is Skys The Limit (out of Chicago I think) and that particular plane is currently in Skydivecity Zephyrhills FL (the last I knew of anyways- in May 2011) hope that helps.
