dropdeded 0 #1 November 22, 2002 Just got the November Issue of SKYDIVING.The picture on the cover is the 131 way from JFTC.What would the approx. altitude be in that picture ?To my lowtimer eyes that looks pretty low.If you have the issue,could you give an approx. guess as to the altitude ??What is the breakoff alt. for a bigway of that size?With 26 jumps to my name,Im under canopy by the time the ground looks that close. dropdeded pcss#26------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
