   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!
