No, I only started flying jumpers at SPX. Probably @ 1982 or so. The Otter (in Dickinson) was rented from Metro Airlines where I started working at in 1976. The Director of Ops rented it and he or other airline pilots probably flew it down there. He was a good friend of mine and when I came down for the winter in 1976 we met. He then offered me a job at the airline (Avionics). I left the area in 1986. Metro was based at a private field in Clear Lake. (CLC)
