Found this video pretty cool. A skydive jump from engine start to shutdown (or the next pickup) about 15 min long. The pilot talks about setup and flying for the jumpers.

Me too. That's Doug Smith's jump school in IL. Great guy and top notch outfit. It's even better one that he built his new building and bar! Def worth stopping by CSC this summer!

+1 on all counts.
The Flight Deck Bar and Grill has been a nice addition for Chicago area aviators looking for a burger run.
