mailin 0 #1 October 13, 2003 Just came back from doing a tandem at Jumptown in Orange, MA. I had previously not wanted to jump there becuase its almost 2 hours away. This is my 3rd tandem, and third DZ. I think I found a place to call 'home'. Everyone at manifest was really pleasant and friendly and I got introduced to people! How cool is that? It made me feel instantly less nervous. To make it even better, they didn't have any problem with my dr.s letter! ya! Not only that - but the Otter was much better for my nerves than the Cessna 182 from last week. Everyone in the plane kept turning around making funny faces at me - but being my 3rd jump this wasn't so bad. What a great bunch of people! Derek was my TM and Chad jumped with us to try and hone (is that a word?) his camera skills. Not a cloud in the sky (Finally a jump with no clouds! woo hoo!), and the view with the trees changing colors was unbelievable. I had so much fun! More fun than my first jump! I felt super comfortable and can't wait for April so I can get into the classes - this is gonna be SO much fun! Thanks to everyone who pushed me to try another DZ after getting turned down at the previous one - you all helped me have a really fun time today!

juanesky 0 #2 October 13, 2003 Glad you are able to jump.....and actually did! Keep on trying, my suggestion was based on the place you lived, and it is unfortunate the people at Licoln do not have a bigger plane anymore....

mailin 0 #4 October 13, 2003 I'm still going to try to get that FAA level 3 clearance, but after I have my A. Maybe by then we'll be lucky enough to have Lincoln opened to experienced jumpers. I would love to jump at Lincoln, but can understand why not due to the problems they've had lately. Hope to see you in orange some time next year!

mailin 0 #5 October 13, 2003 I was very happy to hear they jump to Dec. 1!! So that means this wasn't the last jump for me! woo hoo! I'll be going again probably November 15th weekend - hope you can make it too. I'd love to meet everybody! JenniferArianna Frances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doublespock 0 #6 October 13, 2003 Im glad you had a good time at Jumptown. Thats my home DZ and I was probably there that day. I shoot tandem vid there. Jumptown is probably the best DZ in the NE. I am probably partial because I learned and still jump there. The close to three hour drive has not stopped me from going there for the last 5 years. Id like to meet you the next time you come. See you soon. PJ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juanesky 0 #10 October 13, 2003 Hey Ian, I don't think I will make it on that day, I got your taped landings, as well as those of Pjs and Katie....

mailin 0 #11 October 13, 2003 Bummer.... I was looking for you too! The loads after me were grounded due to wind, dunno if they got up eventually. So, the 15th theres a big thing going on? Don't know if I should head out there then - since I'm doing yet another tandem... Don't want to spoil the fun for people - maybe I can catch the 16th then, or is this thing the whole weekend? Hope to see you eventually! It was a ton of fun too - thanks for the recommendations! JenniferArianna Frances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianmdrennan 2 #12 October 13, 2003 Oh nonono. This is in the evening I believe. You won't be interrupting any jumping whatsoever. I thought you were going to be attending the End Of Year Banquet, that's all. I'll definately be up that day so if you're there we'll finally meet.

mailin 0 #13 October 13, 2003 End of the year banquet sounds fun! I'll be there next year! And since thats the case, you'll see me during the day on the 15th! Hope the weather cooperates - it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL today. I brought my gloves and didn't even need to take them out of the car - simply a great day.
