skysprite 0 #27 June 6, 2005 1:2:!! Effin awesome weekend in Denver and at Mile Hi! 1 Rockies game attended, 2 jumps, and I'm sure I owe a ton of beer! I kidnapped my sister this weekend and brought her with me, and made her do a tandem! muahaha She did it, and is hooked! Got to be on the load with her, and she got to see me jump out! I'm in love with turbines! OMG! And I found it really humorous to hear all these dytters go off at 1k. (The cessna is noisy - I only ever hear mine! I found humor in it, okay?!) Can't wait to go back next weekend for the boogie and for the Skyvan!!~skysprite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #32 June 6, 2005 Quote:0:1 First time at the controls of an airplane. Congrats ... I read a bit in your other thread about you wanting to get into flying. I'm contemplating getting back into it as well after making a trip from Boulder Colorado to Twin Falls Idaho and back last weekend in a Piper Twin Comanche (albeit getting back into flying in a very limited way as it's super expensive). I was a licensed pilot before I was a skydiver. You're doing it the other way. Either way, I think the 2nd discipline we try will come a little easier than the first one we attempted (I'm referring to learning to land as you've got tons and tons of info to learn in order to be a pilot). I find landing an airplane more mentally challenging than landing a canopy (more things to keep track of), but they're both fun and well neither one is safe. Jumping is cheaper though. But I'm guessing you're getting into flying as a career? Oh ... back on topic. :6:0 I got back into some swooping today after a little over a week off. It was easy to forget about flying airplanes for a while while I was swooping. Hmmm ... too many things to do ... not enough time to do it all ... more importantly ... not enough money to do it all. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdrejhon 8 #37 June 6, 2005 :12:5 First 2-way dock (exit was unlinked) First linked exit First downsize (Sabre 190) First nonstop series of 12 landings less than 50m 25-jump milestone 12 jumps in one weekend. This was a record for me. My jump number went up more than 50% from 23 jumps to 35 jumps. I intentionally jumped my ass off on Saturday, and relaxed most of Sunday. Every other load, and I appreicate the packer for packing adequately fast enough to let me jump every other load. A big thank you to all the volunteer coaches/instructors willing to jump 2-ways with me! Edit: I have my jump experiences posted at: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1676548 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
