Perhaps many of us canīt see the point of jumping out of a perfectly working airplane
Have you
seen the insides of a jump plane?
Celtflyer I (may or may not
) have done it in IMC, but if I did, I would have learned quickly how stupid it was, to even punch through a layer in an a/c that wasn't really equipped for it. Sometimes we're allowed to learn from our actions. In any event, Wx is not often a problem here in Texas.
Nothing forced though as I'm flying for a mate (and mentor) really so it's all good fun. It really is. Plus I had 500 jumps before I started flying jumpers anyway, so I have a different perspective there too.
My personal minimums revolve more around what the wife will say when I eventually return home
