Now they're going to try to stick 140 skydivers into this mix? I'm having
a hard time visualizing 20 aircraft coming into land -- at an uncontrolled
field -- with 140 meat-bombs under canopy... Seems like they might have
tried to find a better location and/or time for this record attempt?


Why not? The skydivers are at Z-hills, not Lakeland. Z-Hills has
skydiving 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year.

I was at Z-hills in '94. Broke off from a jump and was tracking away as
a flight of 4 aircraft passed under us...I think they were RV's. It
always amazes me how many pilots fly around with their heads "up and
locked". Flying through a skydiving area is just dumb.

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