Too cold to jump?

Recommended Posts

It snowed 6 inches here last night- we are going jumping tomorrow anywayB|
Around here we say Cowboy Up, put on our long johns, and jump. If we didn't we would not get to jump from December to April:P Besides, who needs to be able to feel the pilot chute handle or your toggles anyway? Makes it more sporting during the landing if your fingers are frozen ...

Just burning a hole in the sky.....

Really fucking windy!!



Yup! That's why my butt (and other unmentionable body parts) are voluntarily staying on the ground today! ;)

Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz)

I was a student in upstate NY in the winter, real eager to get some sky and didn't care how cold it was. Oh, the memories of placing a kerosene heater on a platform to pre-heat the Cessna while we scraped ice off the wings.

The real problem with winter jumping is arriving at the DZ in the mid-afternoon and being unable to find enough people to get the plane up because the others have already made a jump and are done for the day.

Cheers,
Jon S.

Nice!! Currently 49 in Titusville. Heading out to the DZ, but I don't think I'll be making any naked jumps.



Ground temp here in Wisconsin, 22 degrees. And yes, I did !!
Peace,
