flyangel2 2 #76 May 30, 2011 Yes, Deuce was one of the good guys. I'll never forget the photo shot he helped me with. Someone came up with the idea of taking pictures of one of the girls under canopy really close. Deuce and I jumped at the chance to make those pictures happen. We had a limited amount of time to get the shots done and even tho Perris Valley had a thin layer of clouds, we went up anyway and did hop and pops from 12,000. I'll never forget what fun I had with JP flying around above the clouds screaming at him to get closer. Hee, hee....all the while he's taking pictures of me, he's thinking in the back of his mind, that he has no fucking idea where the DZ is. He comes up next to me and shouts, "Where's the DZ?". I point in the direction of the DZ and tell him not to worry and keep taking pictures. I was honored that he trusted me to lead him safety back to the landing area. And he got some great pictures.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjosparky 4 #77 May 30, 2011 Yes I remember I was there. Nice butt. I am sure that is what Deuce was thinking when he shot the picture. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,322 #78 April 17, 2012 I was thinking about you, and then saw a post of yours in a thread. You still matter. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
