Weekend Numbers: March 21 & 22, 2009

I broke out my brand new camera jacket. First two jumps I took video of a 5way and a 4way... My video went poorly as learning how to fly with wings... which by the way kicked my ass. I had trouble going faster as well as being able to side slide and turn... I am not sure why I was having so much difficulty, but I was. I have about 70-80 camera jumps, but putting a jacket on me makes me feel like a student all over.
Then I did a 6 point 9way. I took way to long to get out of the plane with the new benches in the way, but I was able to make it down to the formation in good time.
Then finally I did another camera jump. It went much better and I was able to side slide/turn around the formation to have the sun behind my back. man its hard work! I was still a bit far from the formation and slow to react to 4-way's movement/slides...
I still have a lot of work to do, but I was happy to finally get the hang of it.
Beer is for the first time wearing a jacket and for the very humbling experience it brought.

Nothing here. Ceilings too low for AFF Category E on Saturday and winds too gusty on Sunday. It was so close on Saturday, though--we needed a minimum of 9K for AFF and we got 8500--so I had to land with the plane. In a way it's good because I've already paid for the jump and will hopefully get the full 13K when I do jump--also good to have the experience of landing with the plane.

Sunday was windy--I stayed until around noon when it was still forecast to be gusty in the afternoon--winds over 20kts. Hardly anyone was around the DZ--it just wasn't happening at the DZ this weekend.

I hope the front that passed through this weekend was the last gasp of winter.

Hope your dad is doing OK!

#2 - No turbines @ CK this weekend. Only the Cessnas. They're too cramped and slow for me. I miss the Skyvan (my favorite) and the Otter.



WOW :o only 30+ jumps and already a turbin snob! :ph34r:

It took me 250 ;)
