AggieDave 6 #1 July 1, 2003 No, not me as the TM, but lurking it and going out to get a dock on the student as a solo jumper. Please read, you'll either learn or laugh from it. A girl shows up at the DZ for a tandem...let me refraise that...a HOT chick comes out to do a tandema and she wants to go with Todd (the DZO/other TM), so I ask if I can lurk and dock, he says he doesn't mind, so I manifest. So we climb to altitude, nothing special, although we do a 0-G for a bit to entertain her and us...time to climb out. I spot, Pablito climbs out and I'm supposed to climb out next. I grab the door frame, since I'm going to do the "camera hang" exit off of the door frame (C-182) with a foot on the strut... So I'm climbing out, I catch the wind wrong, bang against the plane and fall off, while clawing the plane trying to get a grip somewhere... Yup, its all on video and yup, I laughed my ass off all the way down to the ground. All in all, that was the most I've laughed in a very long time, it was very refreshing, even if I didn't get to lurk the tandem.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Push 0 #3 July 1, 2003 That beats me getting kicked in the crotch by a C182 cause I didn't actually fall off on that one. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting a hold of the elevator was too tricky for ya was it? One of our VERY experienced cameramen did something similar last summer at skills camp. I guess he used a bit too much elbow 'cause he shattered the aft window . thankfully, our AME was in the next hangar and the plane was only down for as long as it took to pop a new lexan in place. Dave PS: yes, I laughed, but WITH you, of course Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
