Got several skydivers from my home dz going too. Look for Doug Locke...he's hungry for some CRW time Smile

I believe there are 3 others coming along with Doug. John...you will remember some faces from CSS Easter Boogie. Hope you all have a great time. Bummer I can't go but at least I'll be snowboarding while you guys are freefalling Wink

Let's get it on then! Cool

What are you loading it? I load my Tri 120 at about 1.45. John Woo's got a Tri 150 though he loads it a lot lighter than I do mine. We'll work something out. Cool

Be seeing you real soon!

Billy! Good jumping with you and John on that big-way with Guy. I still say you should have done a downplane on that 2-stack with John. You don't have a hair on your ass! See you next time.

I'm sure glad I remembered seeing "FireCat" embroidered on your rig or I would not have remembered who you were. I do also remember teaching you "good morning", just as long as you forget the "good f-ck" joke sign. Laugh

It was great meeting you. Hope to see you again somewhere! Cool

I have done downplanes before, but I didn't want to give John a heart attack, or I would have taken a downplane to 500 feet! Tongue

I enjoyed that big way too, great having you two as my wingmen!

To all who posted here after the boogie, thank you for the notes!

hope to see some of you again soon. My next boogie is RoamingDZ for St. Patrick's Day at Dublin, GA, March 20-21. It should be a blast.
