mountainman 0 #26 November 28, 2001 Half the time of driving?? I think that is only with a 50kts tailwind. Aren't those 150's pretty slow? I heard of one with a negative ground speed due to high winds. Oh well....can you convert a 150 to jump from??-------------http://www.JumpinDuo.com"oh no.

freeflir29 0 #27 November 28, 2001 "Half the time of driving??'Yeah....you can average somewhere around 100+ MPH plus you go "as the crow flies" so it can take lots of time off your trip compared to driving. "I heard of one with a negative ground speed due to high winds"If the wind was blowing that hard I don't think I would have taken off in the first place. Yes....you can jump from a 150...I put out a jumper many years ago. He kinda fell off though. Seems the step on my gear was a little loose....Hehehehehehee....."and I'm not easily impressed...Ooohh look...a blue car!" -Homer Simpson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #28 November 28, 2001 Cool man...sounds like that is gonna be a pretty sweet giddy-up for ya. Maybe you'll have it by the time we get to Atlanta.

freeflir29 0 #29 November 28, 2001 "Maybe you'll have it by the time we get to Atlanta"I hope so! I have no idea what's going to happen if I get this new job. That's why I'm kinda in a holding pattern. I don't want to get a plane and then have it sit for four months while I'm off at school! I'll get it eventually either way. Then I'll be going to all the boogies!"and I'm not easily impressed...Ooohh look...a blue car!" -Homer Simpson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
