slotperfect 7 #1 December 2, 2006 I have been trying to take a friend's teenage daughter up on a tandem for a couple of months now. It finally materialized today. On the way to altitude, she said something over her shoulder that I did not hear 'cause I was busy. I pulled my helmet off so I could hear her, and she told me that she used to watch the Power Rangers when she was little, and the Pink Power Ranger had a pink parachute. She told her Dad that one day she would jump out of an airplane with a pink parachute. So, which rig did I pick up at random? You guessed it, our completely pink Sigma 370. When it opened I said "boy, do I have a surprise for you!" She looked up and freaked out. Her Power Ranger wish had come true. That was a real hoot - it made my day!Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jojo69 0 #4 December 3, 2006 Just think. With one jump you made two of her wishes come true. To jump from a plane and to have a pink parachute. This sounds like the work of a good friend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
