airtwardo 6 #27 August 8, 2010 Quote Did my first 30 second delay out of the Southern Cross at Z-Hills.... Thought every DZ had a DC-3! Really did take it for granted.... That reminds me~A journalist from Japan jumped in the van while I as sneakin' a pre-jump smoke and started blabbering something about skydiving DC-3's... There was a bit of a communication problem, but he knows all the commercial jump 3's over time and where they are /what they are doing. I'll have to look for his card and continue the conversation! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airtwardo 6 #28 August 8, 2010 In the performer / VIP area this guy comes up to me and says something about how they shouldn't be testing Pro Athletes for drugs...it's the the Skydivers they should be watching! I told him I have an extra rig & jumpsuit that would fit him...How many people have a demo jump into the worlds largest airshow signed off by Ken Griffey jr.?! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice, thanks for sharing.Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
