I used to jump a lot. Civilian club jump planes are not "perfectly good airplanes". They are stripped down to the bare minimum weight then they are loaded with bodies to the point where they have to use ground effect to take off. They climb hard, land, and do it again all day. I was always nervous during the climb, and didn't relax until I was out of the damned things.
