NoShitThereIWas 0 #51 December 10, 2003 OK OK that all sounds good. Anything bigger than a KA with the door the size of an otter can't be bad.

Deuce 1 #52 December 10, 2003 Sorry to rain on the parade, but if all these folks don't show up by 11, this will not happen. The last couple of weeks lots of people called and said they were on the way, and didn't show up. They are not going to call Lodi until that plane has a guaranteed 5 loads, hot.

NoShitThereIWas 0 #57 December 10, 2003 So how many jumpers are necessary to keep the plane running hot per load of 5 loads?Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jsaxton 0 #58 December 10, 2003 The load minimum is 10. So we need 20+ jumpers to keep running it hot. Numbers look good so far, and it's only, um, what day is it anyway, oh yeah, Wednesday. Last time we had it there some of the guys with two rigs made every load so I think it'll happen. I got a feeling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chopchop 0 #59 December 10, 2003 i believe it is 10 to make a load go so... to do back-to-backs would take 20 jumpers that could pack and be ready in 20 minutes.. I think.. chopchop gotta go... Plaything needs a spanking.. Lotsa Pictures Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StearmanR985 0 #60 December 10, 2003 I have decided that I will be there regardless (unless the weather sucks). Hey, I like riding in Cessna's. You guys do have two of 'em yes? The main reason I am going is to meet you fine people. Plus, I can add a warm body to the roll call in an effort to help get you the 99.

Where do I get a pair of those pointy-parachute shoes hookitt's wearing? By the way, what do you guys have against the cessna? I like it, it's nice and cozy in there, not a big production like the KA. Plus I get to geek derek before exiting Gotta go... plaything needs to spank me Feel the hate...

chopchop 0 #67 December 10, 2003 better be nice and cozy... you're not going anywhere for a while (Snickers ad) also.. did you ever notice the certain lack of freeflail time? Don't get me wrong.. I do enjoy the occasional Fandangoness of the 206 but I much prefer a turbine.. Damn! Taft is 4 hours away! chopchop gotta go... Plaything needs a spanking..

Plus I get to geek derek before exiting We have nothing against the Cessna, it's cool to go back to the "old days" but it's just more fun when there's a Turbine around that carries a lot more jumpers, so you can make more than 3 jumps a day maximum I love the 206 no matter what.

headoverheels 292 #71 December 11, 2003 I'll be there, by 9:30 or 10am, unless weather is obviously bad. Gotta leave early, maybe 3:15; got a limo affair in the city. I'll be flat flying. Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoShitThereIWas 0 #72 December 11, 2003 That is such a great picture! That plane looks like it will do the job. I also know of at least one other person who is coming out to Byron on Saturday. He's not a DZ.commer but his name is Gary. In an email I told him I may go out to Byron to jump if I jump anywhere on Saturday and he said he wants to jump and will go to Byron too. So there's another "warm body" for the list.Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
