“Don’t you need legal identification to get on an airplane.”

No.

I’d put it differently if I were him:

“Skydivers from all countries are welcome!”

{Parachutes are for US citizens only)

What race is “illegal immigrant”?

[TexasGator]

“General Aviation operates under entirely different rules from Commercial Aviation. “

You might want to walk that back a little.

[gattaca]

My thoughts exactly!

[NorthMountain]

Ok ... a little. Once you’re airborne, ATC doesn’t make distinctions. OTOH, the experience of arriving at the airport and proceeding to the aircraft, getting on board, and getting the bird sealed up are night & day different.

TBH, there are a few pilots that fly as if that were true.

“Some places further south let people go skydiving without the ‘chute.”

LOL

Man, they’re really missing a GRAND opportunity to fly over the border then push them out.

[katana]

They ought to be able to skydive here. But parachutes require proof of citizenship.

Today, “racist” translates to “One who opposes International Socialism’s long-term goals.” :)

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks DFG.

[bgill]

Just fly them back across the border.

One of the only Kevin Costner movies I’ve liked.
