jncoughlin 0 #13 July 18, 2002 Thanks to everyone. I thought I could get this done in a short time but work and weather never cooperated. Next week I'm learning hook turns and then it's on to BASE jumping. Or maybe I'll just belly fly for a while and build my confidence. Whaddya think? Anyway, thanks for the encouragement. BERR for the DZ (Boston Providence Skydiving Center in Lincoln, Rhode Island) is well earned. John Coughlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jncoughlin 0 #15 July 18, 2002 Don't worry; no hooks, only conservaive learning. I don't want this sport to get a bad rap. I plan on skyflying at least the next 10 years! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
