Those are some great stats!! I have to ask, did you immediately start to log some of that data or did you figure out how to compute it later? Cool numbers Tony! Now for the real question. Whats Next?Do you attribute the low cutaways to the Spectre? I do with mine. Congrats! Great stories! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonyhathaway 0 #4 May 18, 2008 Well, freefall time, from the beginning. canopy time, jumps X 2.5 minutes per jump. (average, of course, no way of actually knowing) 4 seconds to open a parachute X jump numbers 20 min. in a plane per jump average X jumps I've never had a spectre malfunction out of 8400 spectre jumps. (knocking on wood....) My O.C.D. has me chasing a dream my A.D.D. won't let me catch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmytavino 16 #8 May 18, 2008 Congratulations Tony..... How many Pack jobs????? ... I liked when your profile was set up so that your Jump number(s) was the SAME as your D Lic. #... pretty cool...... you may have mentioned it once before but... where??? did you start skydiving... i like that you did a static line jump....as well as a tandem on your first day.....Very considerate of " the olden days" plus you got a great taste of freefall AND canopy control all on the same day...continued successes,,, jimmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headoverheels 291 #10 May 18, 2008 36 years today for me, but only 1/4th as many jumps. I should be jumping, but I'm working. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 14 #12 May 19, 2008 Nice stats.So you still log all your jumps? That's good. I still log all of mine too. That's the only way to tell how many you really have.You've gone farther than around the world (about 25K miles) in freefall. That's quite the trip.
