Skydiving or Jump pilot flying is an excellent way of keeping current and adding a few hours on your C.V. However, most DZ's ask for a minimum of 500 hours. Its more about the nature of the flying, the intensity of it and the fact that (contrary to popular belief) much of the flying is not conducted on perfect VFR days. Its ultimately a quasi commercial operation. Oh, and then there are the rough shod farm strips.
Best hour build in the US initially or find some lo (!) cost flying in the UK (VLA class aircraft perhaps?)
