IanHarrop 37 #5 January 23, 2007 Actually its more the case that I used to have balls. They accept jumps from anytime to join the order and I made mine on February 15th, 1981 in Nipawan, Saskatchewan. Google map: http://tinyurl.com/2cxtjz Actually the weather wasn't that bad. It was cold on the ground but there was a temperature inversion so it was warmer at altitude. Of course it got colder as you descended under parachute. As I recall the cold layer hit at about 1,500 feet, It was my 200th jump and I went for a kiss pass with an attractive young lady... I think I was young then too!"Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
