Somebody didn't get the proper training on jump flying or didn't follow the training they got. Too bad they took two with 'em.

Gives new reason to old smart ass saying "why jump out of a perfectly good airplane"? Because a total f*#kin' moron is flying it!

Not the first time that's happened.

Back in the mid 70's I lost an instructor in a mid air over Monterey Bay( in California flying out of Fritze Airfield at Fort Ord) while he was doing hood work with a student. He collided with a sky diving plane that was climbing out with about 5-6 skydivers on board. From what I remember all died except a few skydivers who were able to get out of the plane, deploy their chutes and land in the bay.
