pa2themd 0 #1 June 7, 2004 Yeeehhaaa, Yeah I just did my first beach jump at the South African national Championships, held in Margate South Africa. We exited a 4 way out the King Air from 14 000ft and didn't turn too many points as the view was breath taking!! I also demo'd the Aerodyne pilot 168 for the pre- second time and wow!!!! Such a soft opening .... mmmm how many weekends at manifest to pay for a new canopy!!greetings from the top of the world "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!"

skygirlpc 0 #4 June 7, 2004 Congrats on the beach jump! I did my first beach jump on memorial day. I was so nervous looking out of the plane and thinking, "They want me to land where?" But, it all went great and was so much fun that I did another one on the next load! Blue Skies!

wildchild 0 #10 June 9, 2004 ah the pressure of living at the coast all year round.......I may not have to wait till December. Just gotta get some more jumps done first. It's really tough being able to see the sea from the aircraft at two dropzones of choice. When are you jetting off? Come down and visit before then!!!____________________________ "If there is doubt, there is no doubt." - Tonto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
