once, I was the last weekend, not even to be found in Hart Holm, and although the weather certainly invited to skydiving. We, I mean a whole range jumper from Hartenholm, the drop zone Skydive Yuu have visited. Why? The Pink was there! As the skydiver quickly evident to the layman must be declared, so a short pink FAQ:
What is the Pink?
The Pink (actually have two of them) is a type CYPRES SC7 Skyvan , some of which is painted pink and parachutists cult character.
What makes Pink so special?
The two aircraft do nothing else all day as a paratrooper to get into the air. They look like a shoe box with wings and in Europe on the move. You have your own website and fan base.
What can the Skyvan? It has 25
Springer 15-20 minutes to 4.5 meters k, one can stand in it and jump out of a rear ramp. When launched, it smells even on the plane to kerosene. So anything can beat the parachutist's heart.
We were with some jumpers in Holo and have a formation at a time from the huge tailgate pulled out. All times in succession unlinked, but also Linked exits with 6 people were not a problem. The largest formation, we tried was a 9s. Where the emphasis is clearly on trying. Since we all had relatively few jumps (between 50 and 300) the whole thing degenerated often in air combat. Nevertheless, or perhaps because of,'s has really brought a lot of fun.
Here is a photo immediately after Exit:
Sunday evening Manuela has been done yet her 100th jump from the pink. And in a strange place she was not spared from the cake ;-) Ebrahim has a very cool video cut together this weekend.
Update:
Hansi, pilot of the Pink, has reminded me that there are now even four of the planes are in pink color and not just two. Thanks for the note and I find it cool that he somehow found my blog and has read the article. :-)
