Lok 0 #30 September 15, 2006 Thanks for the news guys, hope no more minor accidents and a better second weekend. I agree that maybe the Langar Boogie on weekends looks like a invitational event for experienced FS jumpers because they organize big ways, but I thing this is what happens every time, Langar has a reputation in FS.......and this year there are many CRW and FF groups as well. And maybe there is difficulty to operate so many aircrafts and everybody must be careful with the traffic. Midweek maybe is better and depends how fast are somebody in packing, he can manage 8-10 jumps in a day with good weather. I jump mainly midweek and I have done 4-5 jumps in Langar in a day with moderate weather and very few people in the dropzone. I don't think would be a problem in the boogies for 8-10jumps. Maybe I am wrong but anyway, see everybody tomorrow. REGARDS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joni_mirageg3 0 #32 September 19, 2006 did any of you guys think the manifesting situation was er, slightly slow and unorganised? I was expecting to get alot more jumps than just 11 over 2 weekends.... Maybe I'm just being greedy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyjuggler 0 #33 September 19, 2006 You should get back to work before I tell Matt you are posting on Web Pages!!! Yeah, it was super slow, but that is normal with large formation loads. Also, there was a little extra stress with the Beech and what was going on, but c'est la vie. Normally langar send the loads, I would imagine it was just because there were so many people around and the big way people needed some extra time. The skyvans were also relative slow getting to altitude, so as there is some sort of limitation to take offs and number of planes in the sky, that would have slowed it down too. Matt..... Joni's on the internet and not working! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pincheck 0 #34 September 19, 2006 This was my first time to Langer and was surprised at how slow it was in turning the loads around. they will have to get slicker as i would think twice about coming to the next one. Like jo i didn't get all the jumps i was looking for, i had to travel 6.5 hours to get there. With 2 skyvans and 2 caravans there should have been enough lift capacity even with the loss off the beech99, which i only found out about on arrival. I wasn't impressed while the bigways got priority. i cant comment on the rest of the boogie as i was there just the 1st weekend but i compared it to other places i 've been and it fell far short off expectations for such a large dropzone with their reputation. i did enjoy myself as i got to meet a lot off friends from here and elsewhere Billy-Sonic Haggis Flickr-Fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodpecker 0 #35 September 20, 2006 I agree with Billy's last response 100% and it didnt get better the last weekend even with the beech...though the beech gave us 15K which was nice. Same slow ass loads though and I would have to think long and hard about going to the next one unless something was done about that. That being said I still had a good time, met a few good people, and jumped. BillySONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

Maybe I'm just being greedy _________________________________________________ If I went to a DZ advertising a boogie with 4 / 5 planes and got only 11 jumps in 2 weekends, I would think very carefully before going back (assuming weather was jumpable on all 4 days). I don't think you are being greedy at all.. *********************************************** I'm NOT totally useless...

AudreyRowe 0 #38 September 21, 2006 The weather last weekend was not great - there were a few holds due to cloud / fog both days. I still managed 5 jumps over the weekend on the big way jumps. Obviously the formation loads are going to take longer but the Beech was flying a lot of loads (we would take off for the formation loads in the skyvans and the beech would take a load to altitude, drop and then pick up the jumpers for the formation load). Had a great time both weekends Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a great time both weekends I agree entirely - I was there for the 2nd weekend and I had a great time too. Langar did a great job of getting the loads up where possible from what I saw - they can't help the weather! Big congratulations to Audrey on her 1000th, Fiona on her 1000th and Caroline on her 2000th! Vicki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joni_mirageg3 0 #40 September 22, 2006 So you were on the organised loads for the big ways? Maybe i should have done some flat flying then, to have gotten the jumps in.. Did you manage any records? The Massive way formation looked impressive from the ground!

We had a complete 70 way but the 2nd point had a couple of dropped grips - so no new record The 80 way wasn't quite complete but was a lot of fun ,awesome visuals from the trail planes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Prev 1 2 Next Page 2 of 2 Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
