grega 0 #428 October 23, 2002 this is the best part of this plane. you can go to a party, and party all night long, get drunk and don't have to worry about first jump. because you can go to the dropzone without sleeping check your gear, put it on, make yourself conftorble in the plane, and sleep. when the plane is on 9000feet, you'll sleep just long enough to sleep through the hangover "George just lucky i guess!"

helicam 0 #432 October 23, 2002 Quote more like at 10 kph you know the saying "i love the smell of jetfuel in the morning" well acording to our plane (an-2) it should be "i love the smel of burnt oil in the morning" But it's ours and we love it in a strange way This is funky.....just got a mail from a guy that has an AN2 for charter here in JHB. Aaaah the life.....good weather, great beer, turbine jumpships!! bluefingers....the jacuzzi is all warm and bubbly!! I am ready to meet my Maker.

AggieDave 6 #437 October 23, 2002 Yeah, I've got a test in 2 hours. Notice you didn't see me for most of the night, studying. Now I'm just reviewing some vocab, honestly, at this point the "fuck it" factor is getting pretty high.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
