why didn't they have enough fuel to wear a 25 minute hold
i can tell you there are not many jump planes flying around with a spare 25min of fuel, and nor are they required to do so.
One of the jumpers I know in the plane wanted to jump but wasn't allowed. Why?
Maybe because they are not the PIC?
Not every parachuting operation is dodgey! not saying this one isnt , but im a bit tierd of this mind set that because they operate a bit closer to limits that it is an unsafe practice.
