sunshine 2 #27 January 8, 2003 QuoteLets just say there was unfortunate accident involving Ryan in sandels, a ladder and falling with his little toe caught in the ladder and getting ripped off. Oh wow. I never knew that about him. I suppose since he's so damn hot, it doesn't really matter that he's missing a toe though. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug!

QuickDraw 0 #32 January 10, 2003 It certainly wasn't the pilot of the yellow otter at the empuria christmas boogie. People were taking bicycles aboard after a couple of loads. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dzbum 0 #33 January 11, 2003 Any pilot that can put me on the airport is a good one! And if it just happens to be upwind, all the better! Although Chris Schindler did teach me a thing or two! Thanks dude! 321 CCYAAAAAAAAAAA.............. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deleted 0 #36 January 14, 2003 I got my AFF done there. I love Van.. great DZ. Good poeple. when where you there. I must say that Mark Blevins (aerohio) was the best pilot I ever jumped with....but I am verrrrrry swayed in my feelings there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beerlight 0 #37 January 14, 2003 Quote Quote Jim West too, there is just something about a guy who has to put a beech down in a field do to an engine failure on take off, gets everyone off the plane, walk back to the dz, get in another beech and get them to altitude. Jim rocks. He's not only a great pilot, but an awesome DZO!! (Of course we know who the boss really is). Did Jim West ever fly out in San Antonio?

skycop 0 #38 January 14, 2003 I vote for Jim West hands down! After that I'd vote for any Jim West trained pilots! Although I'd say GPS can be quite a challenge...lol...... "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycop 0 #43 January 14, 2003 Facts, my friend, facts, Paul Fayard stalled the CASA at the Richmond boogie, (too many jumpers hanging) and he pulled it out. Paul Fayard started jumping years ago with who else but, Jim West. I can't say for sure that Jim trained him but, your assumptions are wrong. I've known Jim West for 9 years and there is no finer person, pilot, or mentor! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymedic 0 #44 January 14, 2003 Well I know for SURE he fueled airplanes with K1 because it was cheaper....although VERY illegal. I agree Jim is a good guy...runs a great drop zone...but to say he is the best...I'm not sure about that... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

skycop 0 #47 January 14, 2003 Hmm...... I've jumped there for almost ten years. He has made enemies because of his morals and ethics (nuf said), even the USPA. If you jumped there and have proof, PM me. If not don't listen to other people. I've been in a couple of hairy situationw with him flying and I felt very secure.

Honestly, I am a product of my environment. I've had very good instructors since day one in flying and in flying jumpers. All of my flight instructors at Embry-Riddle '88-'92, Mark Hanson and Scott Corder at Horizon Skydiving Harrisonville, MO, Dave Snyder (rip), Roger Nelson, Mark Bourqhurst (Mr. Douglas), Mark Lamberson. I thank those guys very much. Chris Wow, Never thought I'd see my name on here. Thanks Chris!! Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
