I don't want to be the best pilot in the world - Just the oldest

It's a shame that skydive flying has earned itself such a tarnished reputation over the years. I did it for about 5 years after I gave up being a meatbomb.
Provided you are able to operate a well maintained aircraft and not be coerced into breaking any rules, it can be some of the most enjoyable and rewarding flying that you will do.

Now if only the skydive operators would pay pilots commensurate with their skills and experience as they do for the tandem masters, AFF instructors, parachute packers, manifest scribes, kitchen hands, cleaners, barmen etc.
