clusterit 0 #12 December 3, 2003 I gave SDH a call and reserved 2 jumps. 1-800-jump-out. They have a list locally, where people can sign up and they add you to that list if you give them a call. For all other details, IMGR2 is the person to ask. Cheers, cG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jethers203 0 #20 December 7, 2003 Yes they were. Thanks to Brian and whoever else hooked the deal up. I left a little early, but heard the Twinstar broke down. What helicopter replaced it? Any pictures? Clint D-24352 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
askir 0 #21 December 8, 2003 It was replaced by a Aerospatial Dolphin....WOW what a machine and see Shanon waving in the window. This is Skydiving First Class the only thing missing was the nice headset & movie, caviar, champagne and stewardess on the way to altitude. Indeed Thanks to the culprits of one Fun Weekend!!! Oh yes and Pier had his first cut-away (he carries Cuervo in his trunk for his rigger just in case) LIFE IS LIKE A CIGARETTE, YOU CAN SIT THERE AND WATCH IT BURN AWAY OR YOU CAN SMOKE THAT BITCH TO THE FILTER Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMGR2 0 #24 December 8, 2003 Actually its a Eurocopter EC 155. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. I am the one who brought the first little chopper out. When the 155 showed up with mechanics my boss asked me if all my friends got to make chopper jumps, told him no and he said to take the 155 and finish everybody up. BTW For anyone who jumped the EC155 you are welcome to send your thanks to [email protected] That would be my boss and the one who made it possible for you guys to be the only skydivers on the planet to have ever jumped from a Eurocopter EC155. As far as I know. Maybe the next time you here about the Gravityrats throwing a party you'll show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
