MochaSkyChick 0 #1 July 16, 2003 I need to jump but the closest drop zone to my hotel doesn't fly during the week. Are there any other drop zones fairly close by or am I stuck in the hotel torturing myself with the 100’s of reality shows that seem to have infested television? ::cringe:: PMS #62 Zarza R[red Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, I'll include March 98 in my "it got fucked up" statement. I lost 5 friends that day. And I was resolved to do something about it. Didn't know what. But I started posting on rec.skydiving. I was laughed at for my posts about jump aircraft safety. Then one of the deadliest years for jump planes happened in '99. I tried to warn people where the industry was headed. Then Christy helped me start DiverDriver.com. I left in a huff in Spring 97 and went to SDC just to pack parachutes. Didn't tell anyone I was a pilot. Well, a couple of them knew. But it wasn't broadcast. I was burned out on flying jumpers. That's for sure. 3 engine failures on takeoff in 4 months will stress anyone out.
