rlucus 0 #6 August 14, 2009 Come hit up SD Opelika and say hello. I don't make it out to Cullman very often, I prefer the Farm for my turbine addiction, but Cullman is still a good place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

artard 0 #12 August 16, 2009 Quotedude, youre on level 7 on aff and youre still using a radio to fly your pattern??? i thought u had to fly unassisted to pass aff? I know you're talking to the other dude but I had a radio for all of my AFF jumps but they stopped giving me directions after my first couple, it was just there in case of emergency or for them to yell at me in case I was doing something stupid (which fortunately never happened)http://www.mixcloud.com/prajna http://vimeo.com/avidya Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
George_ORH 0 #13 August 17, 2009 I think that was level 3 for that picture (didn't have any from later on). I got rid of the radio after that I believe- It was just there that time, "just in case".***Due to recent cutbacks, The light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off*** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saving my first solo jump for next weekend. Now we can begin to learn more!Live deliberately; Dare greatly; Land gently SkyPainter SOS 1304, POPS 10695, DS 118 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites George_ORH 0 #15 August 17, 2009 Well my first "solo" jump yesterday was fun/strange/exciting/scary/enlightening/calming/lonely...and so forth. I'm so used to jumping with an instructor , it was odd being out there by myself... And I just did a "fun" jump so I didn't have anything tech to do, I felt like I had a TON of time! My 2nd jump I did some 360's and tracking.***Due to recent cutbacks, The light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off*** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites piratemike 0 #16 August 17, 2009 QuoteWell my first "solo" jump yesterday was fun/strange/exciting/scary/enlightening/calming/lonely...and so forth.
