ltdiver 3 #26 December 20, 2003 It is highly preferred that the cameraflyer be an AFFI, and the majority of cameraflyers that work for the school at Perris are. If not, they have over 1,000 jumps and are put through a screening process...PLUS they have to come highly recommended by those who already work there. You just can't walk up, introduce yourself, show your log book and get invited to participate. Even if you've jumped with tandems at another DZ, they'll most likely call up your previous 'employer' and check you out before letting you jump along with them. It's not only the student's life they're having to consider, but also their own. I don't blame -any- tandem instructor who wants to be overly cautious with those who fly along with them. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speer 0 #27 December 21, 2003 As in many of those earlier replies, I think jumping the slot prior to your friends tandem is the best option. If he is having video, you may be able to arrange to have your exit filmed by the camera flier and made part of the experience. I was fortunate enough to have that opportunity with my sons fist jump (AFF), and my youngest daughters only jump so far (Tandem). Just making the same lift, and being there for the jump will still create an incredible bond. Russ Generally, it is your choice; will your life serve as an example... or a warning?

kwmontreal 0 #28 December 25, 2003 See if you can the DZ/JM to have you exit last prior to the tamdems, and your friend the first T out!! It will be a kick for your friend!
