JohnMitchell 16 #833 June 17, 2015 Made 4 jumps today sharing the DZ with this big boy. Last jump I landed over where they were moored for the rest of the day and chatted a bit. Beautiful machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #834 June 17, 2015 Saw it (the blimp) tooling around on Sunday. I'm guessing it's in town for the US Open. I don't suppose you inquired about the possibility of jumping out of it...? What would be fabulous is jumping into the US Open itself . Well, you could do it once, but only once. mh . "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

I don't suppose you inquired about the possibility of jumping out of it...? I did go land over by them and chatted for a few minutes, but I didn't ask about jumping out of it.I did talk to them about how it flew, wind limits, logistics, things like that. Very interesting aircraft. They told me their getting a new one built by a German company, vectored thrust, more modern, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #838 June 17, 2015 JohnnyMarko Land BY them? That's not what I heard/saw I was thinking of that EXACT video while on my approach under canopy. I took a very controlled, conservative "demo" type of approach, mostly just to not worry the blimp folks. Hopefully at my experience level I can do that safely.

JohnMitchell 16 #839 June 18, 2015 Steve Wiley is a friend and member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. He and his wife are long time contributors to the Leap for Lupus Foundation. Today he presented Vskydiver and me with an almost $1,000 donation to the LFL. As always, Valinda and I are proud to say that every penny will go directly to Lupus medical research. Thanks, Steve!
