Tonto 1 #26 October 24, 2003 Up in a Cessna, Africa hot, bumpy. I had a low timer ask me why the "hooter" (horn to the US crew) was blowing all the time. I go blank. Hooter? He's gone mad. Pilot quips, "Fucking Geese. Gotta keep blowing it to get them out of the way." Hours later the dude says to the pilot, "I saw no geese while under canopy" Pilot replies. "Fucking good hooter, eh?" tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpgod 0 #28 October 24, 2003 just stay in the sport long enough. watch swoopers bounce. watch a few friends ride reserves down after cut-a-ways. watch 2 friends die and 2 go into intensive care. this will humble you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdgregory 0 #29 October 27, 2003 Okay, I think there is an AFF student out there who just heard the scariest thing ever! Yesterday as I was doing level 22 there was a level 1 who was going to be the last one out and one of the JM's looked at him from the back and with all seriousness told him to make sure he closed the plane door on his way out. That guy already looked like his was going to wet himself and the look on his face was great! Took him more than a few seconds to realize they were trying to get him to relax. It worked too, he was smiling from that moment on. But he was certainly a little freaked at first. Had to be thinking "that wasn't in the jump sequence."
