Exascot different countrys.

I have sat many a time watching that aircraft go up with a beer sitting on the sun balcony. And then the meat bombs land next to the short runway.

They do lots of tandem drops.

Its a really nice field and a centre for the local community it will hit them very hard and my thoughts are with them.

I might add I didn't see anything dodgy about the aircraft operation when I was there. In fact the whole thing seemed quite sensible with the LZ well away from the active runway with a short walk to the packing shed, then a short walk down to the apron on the other runway. I did see the plane close up and externally she looked as if she got alot of TLC.

Was even thinking about going for a jump with them.

O well its a wait for the report time again to see what failed.
