The fact that certain jump zones operate illegally is not surprising...a

to a Queen Air including seat and door removal.

Geez, that was almost 30 years ago...you still make assumptions on
something that happened that long ago? Skydiving, like ANY aviation
operation, has it's bad eggs but I'm confident that you would find the
vast majority operate legal, safe airplanes.

You sure it was a Queen Air. I can't find the accident in the NTSB
database. I fly jumpers and I like to see what has caught other pilots
so that it doesn't catch me.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
