- Just thought I'd mention that The Herd's Porter really did
- arrive this year and really does work. Honest. It's not
- just a joke anymore. They really do have one. I've seen
- it. It flies.

- Hmm. Unless they've improved it, it takes 30-35 minutes to alititude...
-
- We brought it over to our DZ (JT Willies/MonYough skydivers) a few
- months ago... not very quick to alititude... and that was with only 9+pilot
- in the plane...

- However, it still beats a Cessna!
