While it is a DC9 not a 727, the dropzone at Perris kind of proves that wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3TtL2cmlcM&t=3m30s https://www.youtube.com/watc

- lloyddobbler 10y agoWas just about to come on here and post this. I've got 5 jumps out of the Perris jet (while it was still flying). Interestingly, all the DB Cooper stuff was one reason Perris shut it down. It cost them an inordinate amount of money to get through the red tape to be able to allow sport skydiving out of it (courtesy of the 'Cooper Lock' modifications), that once the engines came due for maintenance, they opted not to throw more money down the drain. It was a sad, sad day for the skydiving world.
- emilburzo 10y agoDamn, I'm jealous. What's it like to jump the jet? The most impressive (for me) aircrafts that I jumped were the C-27J Spartan and MI8 helicopter, but I don't think they come close to the jet.
- mikeash 10y agoCooper jumped at night over unfriendly and fairly unknown terrain. Hardly the same as a day jump into a prepared LZ.
