Owners of the sky-diving busi nesses are meeting with air traffic officials to determine whether there is a way that those who fly airplanes can coexist with those who jump out of them. “It’s not the best situation in the world," said Dane Matney, a sky-div ing instructor who parachuted through one of the jet routes four times Friday. “But the airplanes just started coming through this month. “Nobody wants to jump out of an airplane and get hit by a jet," he said. Since federal officials activated dozens of new airways Oct. 10, week end thrill-seekers say they are getting more than they bargained for during their 120-mph free falls north of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. “Certainly sky divers have a right to the airspace just as the commer cial jets do," Doug Murphy, air-traffic division manager for the Federal Avia tion Administration’s Southwest Re gion in Fort Worth, told The Dallas Morning News. “I have no doubt that we can work something out."
