FliegendeWolf 0 #1 November 9, 2002 Sigh...another crappy weather day. I'm afraid that they're just going to get worse and worse, too. Today it was cloudy and really windy. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, but they're forecasting rain... I'm getting a bit homesick here on the ground.

somethinelse 0 #2 November 9, 2002 Hi, Steve! Sorry the weather in the skies isn't as sweet as the air temperature is! I'm a Michigan gal who's working her way thru AFF. I eally was so hopeful for the weather yesterday! I even called up a DZ and talked about maybe paying for a spot on a plane to check out the drop zone even though I CAN'T AFFORD TO JUMP RIGHT NOW... Hey, does anybody know of different DZs HERE that will allow you to pay for a spot on a plane if you DO NOT INTEND TO JUMP? I'm curious to check out the DZs from above, just for the fun of it. I may end up needing to split the cost of renting a plane with a pilot friend otherwise. Either way, it would still be cool to do...Especially since, really not many more good weather opportunities to jump left this year here in Michigan.

sillyolethang 0 #3 November 9, 2002 I feel your pain... The last 3 days out to the DZ, the weather is stunning and with my low jump numbers, the wind was too high...talk about feeling ! Had nice times talking to everyone, practicing packing but to watch every load come down...made me ache! I love the people at my DZ 'n I know it's all about my safety, so there's always another day~ Amy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FliegendeWolf 0 #4 November 9, 2002 I jump at Napoleon Skydiving Center, and they usually let people go along for the ride in the Caravan. Only thing is the Caravan is gone for the season...won't be back until spring. Don't think there's room in the 182, but you can ask!!

FreeFlyHol 0 #5 November 10, 2002 I feel your pain growing up in Detroit. Only one thing to say...it sounds like it's time to take a road trip out west kids! AZ is beautiful right now. We'd love to have you here. Come play with us!When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyrose7 0 #6 November 10, 2002 yeah, well-- My dz called me at work to tell me they were jumping, so I rushed home and out to the dz (1hr). Unfortunately, by the time I got there, the winds had kicked up and were whistlin' an ugly tune. So, no jumps. Can't wait for Eloy! I have to keep telling myself that. Hey, at Great Lakes Skydivers they will let an observer fill a load for $15. I think that is only if it is not really busy though. Is that what you were talking about? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP. MaryRose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
