On
May 19, 2001 N394R was used to set three really crazy World Record and
registry in the "Guiness Book of Records". Skydiver Michael Zang made 500
skydives in 24 hours! That means an average time per jump of 2:45. The
Porter took around a minute to reach 2'100 feet, 40 seconds Michael needs
to jump down .. again and again. Every three hours the Porter need some
fuel and the guys someting to drink and to eat. Further on, this Porter
holds now the Guiness record for the most takeoff and landings in 24 hours
and the pilot (Tom Bishop) holds the record with 424 consecutive takeoff
and landings with no relief (21 hours straight). Congratulations !!
