bluskytrvlr 0 #1 August 18, 2006 Hello Folks, We have an update to our group of Fifty State Fallers! CONGRATULATIONS: Walt Russo and Jack Barnes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The list now stands at (In chronological order-please correct me if I am wrong): FIFTY STATE FALLERS 1. Bobby Valenzuela 2. Shawn Leslie 3. Karen Hawes 4. Satomi Yamanaka 5. Atsushi Yamanaka 6. Betty Moore 7. Harry Moore 8. Walt Russo 9. Jack Barnes As Betty and I travel around we are always searching for someone who should be on the list but is not. If our list is correct Jack is the last of the single digits. We jumped again in Hawaii last month and talked with Satomi and Atsushi. The largest collection of FSF's in one place! We jumped at Vandalia last weekend and met John Cox aka Chile. I believe he has 42 states and is actively pursuing the remaning 8. Anyone else who is working towards jumping all fifty states please PM me. Thanks!A mile of highway can take you a mile But a mile of Runway can take you anywhere!

Meux 0 #2 August 18, 2006 Congrats to the last of the single digits. For me, five down, forty five to go. Maybe I could make the first one thousand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #3 August 18, 2006 QuoteCongrats to the last of the single digits. For me, five down, forty five to go. Maybe I could make the first one thousand. Amazing.... all 50 states... I have done 12 states... 38 to go. Doubt that I will ever get any more than 5 or 10 more in my lifetime since the last big DZ state that I haven't been to is Arizona.

jtval 0 #5 August 19, 2006 Chile relleno is close to that accomplishment. He's got something like 38 states last time I asked. and that was a few years ago. so he probably more like 42ish nowMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catfishhunter 1 #7 August 21, 2006 Call Brian in Ogden rent the 182 file a notam and jump Other then that not sure but you don't have a DZ to jump just a plane you can get out of and know how to file a notam MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grue 1 #8 August 21, 2006 My DZ has helped with this in the past, btw. We're "based" in South Dakota but actually jump in MN. We dropped one of the 50SF into the South Dakota rest stop about 15 miles from the DZ once, and then picked him up cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #9 August 21, 2006 wow he's lucky that his "accidental" long spot helped him get closer to the 50SF. at least you guys were lucky enough to find where he landedMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grue 1 #10 August 21, 2006 No no, it was intentional cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #11 August 21, 2006 was the guy that much of a P.I.T.A. that you kicked him out 15 miles earlyMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluskytrvlr 0 #12 August 22, 2006 Where is there to jump in Wyoming?? I grew up there. ===================================== We jumped at Pine Haven south of Devils Tower in 2004. They had a 182. Great views of DT and the Keyhole Reservoir. They were non USPA. Antelope were grazing on the grass around the runway. What fun!A mile of highway can take you a mile But a mile of Runway can take you anywhere! Blue Sky Traveler Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt1215 0 #13 September 14, 2006 QuoteWhere is there to jump in Wyoming?? I'm curious about this as well, along with NH. Don't see any DZ's listed in these states. Does one pay a local farmer for a crop-duster H&P? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #14 September 14, 2006 you don tneed a DZ to jump out of an airplane. go rent a pilot who will help you. Balloons, helicopters are an option as wellMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jshatzkin 0 #15 September 14, 2006 Any pilots out there willing to drop me in Wyoming?Jen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt1215 0 #16 September 14, 2006 That occurred to me as well. No need to worry about that yet, WY and NH are pretty low on my priority of states to visit. 2 states down (FL & CA), 48 to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
