Hey Dude,
I managed to get a hold of a C210 before I first started meatbombing, which in the eyes of the Australian Parachute Federation, covers ALL of the cessna singles (apart from the taildraggers).
I think that jump flying can be immensely valuable if you're in with the right company, a lot more so than people (employers) give you credit for unfortunately. I was lucky to work for a 'good' one (be careful, there are bad ones) and I had the time of my life - good amounts of flying, learnt heaps and heaps, dropzone parties were the best ever!
Turned out my first job jump flying was better than my second job in the wonderful land of GA, I thought it was supposed to go the other way around. ah well better luck next time.
Email me if you've got some more Q's dude....
...now, where is that damn twin time??
