JohnMitchell 14 #1 June 22, 2016 Vskydiver and I just spent 5 days in Alaska, hanging out and jumping with our favorite Andreya. I gotta tell you, she is even sweeter and prettier in person than her pictures.We got to go with her on her first turbine jump from 13K and make several more great jumps with her before the weather closed in for the weekend. And we meet her fiancée Matthew. Sorry Ryoder, he's a good looking, strong dude. I think Andreya's well taken care of, and off the market for good. All the rest of ya, proceed to be jealous.

promise5 17 #6 June 23, 2016 It was so great meeting you and Val. I was so happy you stayed with me and put up with me. I loved hanging with Val and you. Plus, the jumps were fabulous ! I learned so much and felt super safe jumping with you guys. Ok ok I did get a kinda chip on my shoulder because I got to jump with you guys. I was nervous the whole time but I wanted to jump up and down and shout " DO YOU SEE WHO IM JUMPING WITH". Trying not to be rude to anyone but I can't help but brag that you, Val amd the sanders jumped with me AND signed my log book!! Can't wait to see you guys again!No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 14 #8 June 23, 2016 Some day you'll be the person with a bunch of jumps and you'll have a friend with a new A license and you'll find out how much fun it is to jump with them and lead them into all kinds of new skydiving adventures. We all had as much fun as you did, trust me. We're already making plans for next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,340 #9 June 24, 2016 promise5 ...I wanted to jump up and down and shout " DO YOU SEE WHO IM JUMPING WITH"... Somehow I have a feeling that John was thinking the same thing.

Not because of me,but because of Val I bet. But, he gets to jump with her all the time. If you haven't met her in person, believe me she's gorgeous !!!! Crowds can make me nervous when I'm not working and Val didn't mind me shadowing her. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.

TEB6363 0 #17 June 29, 2016 I am so bummed we did not get out to the DZ.. We flew in Friday - Saturday we went past the DZ twice... Once in the morning and hiked up Butte Mountain - Attached photo looking south at the Knik Glacier.. Weather was not looking good.. Later that day we went out to the Musk Ox farm go pick up very damn expensive yarn.. Still super windy.. However, we had a Great Week!!! Stayed in Cooper Landing south of Anchorage; took an Air Tour, hiked, Fjord Tour by boat - Just a BLAST!!! We were Very Sad to leave for home the following Friday.. Maybe next time.. Edited for spelling... Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
