Drama: Thursday... 1 two-out 1 premature deployment out the door Friday... 120 landed off on first jump Two cutaways on second 1 femur compound on second Bob Seaman #1000 pied, paid 5 cases beer (120 bottles)My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimbo 0 #4 November 12, 2011 Who had the two out? Who had the femur? Better yet who was spotting?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #5 November 13, 2011 I only know the answer to one of your questions; Rusty, from DeLand, had the femur. True to form, "Crusty Rusty" called the ambulance himself as he was laying in the field with his bone sticking out of his leg. He's had surgery, but will still be in the hospital for a few days so the docs make sure he doesn't get an infection from all the dirt that was on the protruding bone. They did not complete the jumps today. Some cuts were made; hopefully they will make it tomorrow!

popsjumper 2 #9 November 18, 2011 Quote Better yet who was spotting?? You don't really think anyone would lay claim to that, do you? To be fair, though...124 on the load, 4 did make it back.

Sometimes it pays to fly camera and pull high. That sucks! I remember the weekend at McMinnville, TN doing the world record star attempts (failed) where an early attempt put everybody out like 2 fucking miles off the airport! Almost everybody found a farm pasture to land on, and most of us immediately started repacking right there on the spot because we knew it would be a little while before our rides showed up.

normiss 622 #14 November 19, 2011 Last weekend when I was throwing drogues in Z-hills, a few of us were talking about that and someone asked me if I knew who "Rusty from Deland was". I described him as "Goddamn beer, fucking titties Rusty". They all knew instantly. of course I blurted this out on the back deck right as a family was walking by. Ever get the stank eye from an entire family at once????? I said simply "Hi folks! Welcome to the dropzone!!!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
