Is this nuts, or what?

They're probably saying the same thing about Sun'n Fun. With just as much
justification.

This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to
play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home
a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind".

Hmmm...., hasn't Sun 'n Fun been at that same location for some 25 years or
so?

And similar lines about airports and housing developments haven't worked in at least
that long.

The point was about justification. It is not equal.

It's not a matter of opinion.

I disagree there, too.

And I believe the jump schools at Zypher Hills as well.

They are worried about 140 jumpers in the air. Another figure to
consider is on a 10 hour day you can expect over 2,000 if they run 220
an hour That is assuming they are still running at the rate they
were the last time I was down there, but that was a few years back.

Jumpers were at ZPH before Sun-n-Fun was at LAL. ZPH lies under a Victor
airway (which is one of only 2 victor airways into South Florida without
going into Class B airspace). There is a parachute next to ZHP on the
sectional. Notams are routinely issued IAW FARs.

It may be nuts to those who choose to sensationalize it. Realistically, it
happens most weekends.

Now then, who has the right-of-way, the plane or the jumper?

The plane.


§ 105.5 General.
No person may conduct a parachute operation, and no pilot in command of an
aircraft may allow a parachute operation to be conducted from an aircraft,
if that operation creates a hazard to air traffic or to persons or property
on the surface.
