are you a "rock star"

[rocketscientist 0]

was my first trip to wffc. upon landing over by the spectator area, i soon realized i was a rock star. kids were running around autograph hunting.. really odd feeling someone wanting your autograph.. soon after i started calling it my ego landing so who else on here is now as big of a "rock star" as me

My inner child is a mean little fucker

Ok, so what rock star are you?

I did it twice - first time a long skyvan spot had me landing in the spectator parking lot, second time was next to the bleachers. Both times kids asked for my autograph - quite an ego boost, that's for sure! Next year I'll have to bring pull up cords or something to give out.

When doing grammar school demo jumps, if one kid thinks to ask for an autograph, you have to do 200.
I prefer just to smile while the teacher takes a picture.

HH recently called me a rock star via pm. I felt like I was being knighted by the Queen. So you can call me Sir Rock Star.

per standing order I party like one as often as possible..

however i have been on a load where the whole field landed next to some baseball diamonds.. those of use who landed in the close outfield were immediately promoted to demi-god status (and damn near tackled) by the elementary school kids playing ball...

Skymedic and I always land out there (if we can). I love the lack of traffic and the attention from the locals. I also like landing over there so they actually get to see some skydivers. I hate that the main landing area is out of sight for the locals....although I understand the set-up.

I just wish there was a decent place to pack over there. Marc and I pack under a tent, but on grass. Not ideal, but not too bad. Ofter we had locals watching us pack and asking questions.

I had one of those last year....landed after a sunset load...I was the only one out. A truck pulled over and watched me land. (And it was a PERFECT '10' landing, BTW! )

It was pretty cool.

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

If thats the Orting landing area.. yeah that is KUHL....

SEAKEV's girlfriend Dianna (Shydi on here) did her first AFF jump there a couple months ago.. and got to sign autographs on her first AFF jump...

Ja the Orting 'out'... I've done a few firsts out that way... interesting feeling not knowing what your landing zone looks like before you get out....reminded me a bit of military static line jumps, minus the cool 3 way FF with Jay and Kristin...
