airtwardo 6 #26 December 18, 2003 Two things John... One; That was Katie Booth's 2nd Tandem jump... The first being into the North Pole! Kudos' on being accepted Katie! (thought I'd die laughing when she asked 'Dad' for a "Javilin" rig for Christmas!!!) ...and Two; You look better in person, than your 'helmeted' Avitar! On my thoughts... It was truly an honor to be a part of that memorable jump! The whole focus of the jump was to have 100 canopies open and in the air at once! Which happened, .. and WAS impressive! It was the event of a lifetime for sure! I jumped the Dayton International Air Show this summer... The home of the Wright Brothers. There... Some of the performers were given a Sterling Silver 'Wright Flyer' pin.. One of a hundred created as 'special gifts' for aviation VIP's attending the show... I wore mine into the Kitty Hawk demo... Making it the coolest tie tack I will EVER own! Our "Texas 20 Way" came off without a hitch! No Shit..There I Was... After diving on the base, I'm looking across the building formation at our organizer, Roger Ponce... who was grinning ear to ear! Glen Bangs, the USPA President docking on my leg as 'JohnRich' and 'Sparky' ...'JohnWright' and others flying SHIT HOT, swoop slots on all sides! Built fast and flyin' solid...stingers burning smoke, I looked straight down 9000 feet, at the monument built and dedicated to the bicycle building brothers from Dayton. Wondering what THEY would be thinking today, were they on site... Looking Back Up! Kudos' to the Fayards for making the event run smooth and safe. My first time at Carolina Sports Center and I felt at home...won't be my last time there for sure! And... "Hats Off" to Al Saylor, 'our' group organizer ... for putting together such a fantastic bunch. The guy ROCKS! Our Casa was delayed an hour an a half behind all the other planes returning to the DZ, due to confusion on refueling by the airport ground crew. Gave some of us an opportunity to walk around the Air Show Performers static displayed aircraft... But not old 'Saylor!' ...As we were preparing to FINALLY get on our way for the hour flight back to the DZ, I'm throwing on my rig... and look across the tarmac to see the 'boss' running in. FOUR CASES OF BEER IN HIS ARMS! That guy ROCKS! Sure hope I get asked to be on the 200 year jump in 2103!!! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #27 December 18, 2003 QuoteThat was Katie Booth's 2nd Tandem jump... The first being into the North Pole! Jay Tribble corrected me on that one too. Wow, for having only two jumps, they sure are incredible ones! How's she gonna top those? QuoteYou look better in person, than your 'helmeted' Avitar! But of course. QuoteOn my thoughts... I enjoyed reading your comments, and concur completely. It was quite a memorable event. Quote...As we were preparing to FINALLY get on out way for the hour flight back to the DZ, I'm throwing on my rig... and look across the tarmac to see the 'boss' running in. FOUR CASES OF BEER IN HIS ARMS! Yep, that's how creative this guy is as an organizer. On a short layover in an out of the way airport, he somehow manages to commandeer a car, find a jiffy mart, and return to the airport in time, with enough beer for a whole Casa load of jumpers for the flight home. Al Saylor for National Director! Attached: 1) Photo of the bomb-sniffing dog with his security crew, going by the tailgate of our Casa; 2) Sunset on the Manteo flight line; 3) Jumper T-shirts - only one of 100!

kallen 0 #40 December 22, 2003 Quote why wasn't the USA dive,,, designed so that it could be read,,,, from the ground....???? Excellent question. We asked ourselves the same thing several times. A few of us even engineered a 2nd point so it would read correctly from the ground. But as we looked at the value of each orientation we concluded that the picture of the formation against a background of the memorial and grounds was more valuable than the live shot that relatively few people would have seen from the ground. Because the names of the 100 Heroes of Aviation were being read while we were in freefall, we could not call attention to the formation and besides, how many non-skydivers can follow a single freefall formation with a video person from exit to break-off at 5500' while 4 airplanes and 100 skydivers are in the air at the same time? Anyway, that's kinda what our team captain said so we said, "yes sir" and did what we were told.
