A King Air went in a year, or so, ago with jumpers... The ship was to my
home field, KHYX, just a couple of weeks prior and I chatted with the
owner/pilot...
Go flying when you can, say you love your wife and kids when you see them,
ya never know - life can be short...

It was a typo. I wasn't even living in Virginia in '75.

The incident I was referring to was in 95 at West Point, VA. You can find it
in the NTSB database.

It's amazing the number of Queen Air jump plane crashes that came up when I
was searching for it.

At least they were in position to jump out before crashing

Actually one of the people in this group came up with the interesting statistic
that more skydivers die in jump plane crashes than do in incidents after they
leave the aircraft.
