jceman 1 #3 June 8, 2003 0:1:0 Got into the air today for the first time in 4 weeks. Felt good. Would have done more, but TLML has some damage to her canopy -- nothing major, looks like someone stepped on it a put a burn/tear on the topskin of the center cell near the leading edge, so we left it to be repaired. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dterrick 0 #5 June 8, 2003 0:0:0 Weekend off. Today I did the Airshow and saw F 14, F-16 F-18 (even numbers only, please?) in action including the real cool "cloud puffies" that surround those planes when they aproach supersonic (we had about a 1,000 ft cieling). B-25 "Miss Mitchell", CF-5, C-115 Buffalo (Skyhawks parachute demo team declined to do CReW due to said 1,000 ft cieling ). Refueling demo by a C-130 Herc, aerobatics by a T-34 trainer and a Pitts Special, etc. On the ground we got to see all the above as well as KC-10 (DC-10)refueller and a KC-135 refueller/troop ship, Tiger Moth, 727 (yes, I could jump one of those), Lougheed Electra T-10 (first passenger ship in Canada circa 1937), C-130 set up as an arial hospital, etc. there wee the regular small fry (too small to jump club planes, models, etc) and the typical military demos. "They" also sacraficed a Skoda (dropped by a Griffon Helo). Oh yes, the 9 plane Snowbirds team (best in the world... they say) finished the show. Apparently the DZ was weathered out for most of the day (...I had to phone to find out what I missed). Tomorow I build ear protection in preparation for the Ozzy Osbourne concert hitting the 'peg tomorrow night. Besides that, my Racer is in the rigging shop being "freefly miodified" so I wouldn't be jumping anyway. Since it's not jump related I don't owe beer for the first airshow I've paid to see damn skydiving addiction is spreading to jumpships now Dave 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

AggieDave 6 #7 June 8, 2003 So far this weekend, I've done 9 tandem jumps but no "fun" jumps. I'm sure tomorrow will change that since I only have 1 jump left the TM course I'm in. I owe so much damned beer that I'm actually buying a Keg of Shiner Bock for a skydiver party we've got going on in a bit over a week.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

masher 1 #10 June 8, 2003 4 canopy control jumps for me. (from one of our ProSwoop competitors) 3 h'n'p's from 8k, and a 15 sec delay from 13. 1 tutor jump, and 3 brake jumps (spent the entire time in some sort of brake) Quite fun, and I improved my landings quite a bit. I'm now using all the flare on my canopy, but then again I only had 3 jumps in this rig before thie weekend... . I plan on doing some more when he does them.-- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
