nigel99 144 #1 December 12, 2010 Skydive the Farm rocks. Thanks to everyone for an entertaining time. It was good to meet a couple of other posters. I discovered yesterday why skydivers jump out of planes - jump pilots go insane on the way down!Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

nigel99 144 #3 December 12, 2010 Quote Worthless without pictures! Nothing I did was worth pictures. A couple of special mentions Andy (popsjumper) introduced me to people and arranged for me to go up as a pax. Went up in the co-pilots seat of the Otter with Bruce flying and once everyone exited he pretty much stood the plane on its nose (certainly felt like it anyway). I wasn't expecting it and I have never seen an altimeter unwind that fast. We had to "wait" for the tandem to land before we could. It was the last load of the day. I was invited to Mel's (really hope that is her name as I started to lose track) house warming and had a good time - including Travis's jokesI "grew up" in a family dz operating from a nearby airport and jumping into a farm. The farm has the same welcoming atmosphere and you would be hard pressed to feel left out. I think Hans has a great thing going. Finally got to meet the infamous Andy Copland - still can't figure out which is worse his online personality or him in personExperienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

I would have introduced myself with my dz.com name. it was great to meet you. Glad you came out to the party. Had an absolutely blast. And yes, Bruce is a crazy pilot, and I love it!
