gearless_chris 1 #13 November 17, 2008 She accidentally said she jumped from a 283, that's the first thing that came to mind. The next time I feel like updating it's either gonna be 1134 jumps, or 35007 jumps, not sure which. I figure if you're gonna make something up why not have fun doing it, I had 420 jumps for a long time . To the O.P. Congrats on finally getting your jump in, it only gets better. The weather will too. There's probably not a lot of kids in your grade that can say they went skydiving last weekend. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

denete 2 #17 November 17, 2008 QuoteAnd to think, im only 16!!! Um, yeah...congrats on skydive number one. I hope you have many more. You may want to count the number of times that you've posted on dropzone.com "I'm 16!" and see if you can just put it in your signature line so you don't have to keep typing it.

Amazon 7 #23 November 17, 2008 Quote Now that would be fun. When I was working on the 787 program.. I volunteered to test jump the plane for them.. rear door... full flaps....gear down... 5000 ft over Paine Field.... I think they thought I was joking... Hell I stood there in the door as number one was sitting there on the shop floor.. and checked where the horizontal stabilizer was from the door...its doableI would do it from lower altitude....... but I wanted plenty of time to get video falling away from it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
