Throttlemonkey,
You been outa Darwin for a while? Pete's stopped operating quite some time ago. No more chutes onto Mindil beach...
Must say I haven't doen alot of meatbombing, think i've done more jumps than flights. As long as you have the discipline then fly away. Just think about your life before you do anything stupid. The absolute stupidest meatbombing DAY i did was in a C402B (no crew door), it was a great day 6 sorties to FL140 I wore the pilot rig but honestly after hearing about the 208 that went in and the problems the pilot had getting out, I woulda been dead if we had a problem... Somethings are just not worth it.
IF YOU GO BOMBING ALWAYS WEAR THE PILOT RIG!!! and it won't hurt to do a few jumps just in case you ever have to bail.
