HydroGuy 0 #1 January 30, 2006 I bought my Dad a tandem skydive and video for his 70th b-day last March. He tried to go last weekend, but the winds shut down the DZ in the afternoon. But yesterday was beautiful...no wind and signifigantly warmer at altitude. Pops said that scooting into the door was pretty scary and a total rush, but that once they were out and his arms were spread he LOVED it. He had a huge smile on his face for the entire freefall. And he totally dug the view under canopy. I only wish I had more skills and could have been on the actual jump with him...but maybe by his 75th. I want to thank Jim Wallace...he may be the small fish @ the Perris DZ operations wise, but he is truely a class act.Get in - Get off - Get away....repeat as neccessary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was actually a pic in Parachutist. Seems like it was in Jan. '99. Ain't it great to take a family member, especially a Parent skydiving! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meltdown 0 #4 January 30, 2006 We bought my Dad a tandem for his 70th B-day, 2-1/2 years ago. It was my first jump also (we were on the same load). It was awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
