JohnMitchell 14 #27 May 22, 2013 airtwardo ***Mine should be here any day. See I knew it...this will catch on with all us cool kids and then before ya know it - everybody will have one! When I bought my first one my DZO was kind of puzzled that I would want one, being a pretty experienced jumper and all. I told her I'd feel really dumb bouncing with $1200 left in my checking account. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy9o8 0 #35 May 22, 2013 AggieDave No no no. You push down on the wheel thing so it pops up, turn it to the left until the light comes on, turn it to the right until the light comes on and then push the button back down. Now you're good to go (until the next jump) I'm impressed a lad of your youth even knows that. Unless you looked it up. Do you own a Victrola? I'm installing mine in my car.

It'll take up a lot less space under the dash. The downside is having to replace all the media. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #40 May 22, 2013 skymama Quote You BOTH ?? never had an AAD??? or You did,,, and it timed out???... Mark didn't have one, he got it to make me happy. It's going to make it so we have a tight month financially and I'm counting it as MY birthday present, but I'm good with that! The only bad part is that mine expires in August, so we have to buy two this year. Ouch! Mine timed out in 2010 around the time I started my 2.5 year break from skydiving. I had gotten it in 1998. So, my first jumps without an AAD since '98 were at Fitzgerald. I need a new one soon... Just don't have that kind of cash around. So I'm not jumping all that much. Haven't been out since Fitz either.
