New Years Day Jump N. of Mason-Dixon

Recommended Posts

15 of us made it out for New Years Day jump at Rochester Skydivers in Rochester NY (upstate). This is an annual thing for us. We put up 8 or 9 loads. I made 3. We jump all winter !!

We had the same temps. We had 11" of fresh powder on the ground. Made for nice swooping.

Air traffic controllers thought we were crazier than usual.

I promised myself I would never do that again. 1/1/86...Beech 18 to 12.5 without a fully closable door. Just a homemade sheet of plywood which left a gap of about 10 inches at the top. -11 in the plane at altitude.
Please don't dent the planet.

We had two loads that were willing to go, but the pilot/DZO wasn't up for it, a wee bit hungover I'm guessing. His official excuse was the wind forecast was for 20+ MPH winds, and it was too cold. Our 182 doesn't have the corner piece of the door put back in the frame, so there's a big hole.

My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
