Windy weather Can't Post

Well drove a couple hours from Charlotte to Raeford to make 2 AFF jumps today and getting a little cloudy but not 2 bad yet. Pull up start watching some military guys jumping/landing and getting pumped only to feel and see some huge clouds with wind coming in. So whats the call for student jumpers?? NO GO. So no biggie went and did some tunnel time and think its helping me alot. Well just sharing my day as I continue to learn as much as I can about this sport!

Peace

Welcome to the forums! Smile Too bad you didn't get to jump, but at least you have a nice wind tunnel to go to. Lucky you!

my first aff jump was also cancelled due to the wind..and everyone else was jumping...waited around for 5 hours..my instructor told me due to my size/weight, it would be too dangerous for me to jump:(..hopefully next week will be better:)

Hang in there babydoll! Stuff happens. & It's better to be on the ground wishing you were "up there," than in the air wishing you were "down there."
Skydiving is definitely weather dependent. I had to postpone my first jump from Sat. to Sun because of it was overcast. It'll all come around. Smile
