I made a few S/L jumps that way, but not with twill, it was already banned. Her face is timeless, change the gear and she could be from this morning. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

chuteless 1 #12 May 25, 2004 The Bible states that God stretched out the heavens. I added a known fact....He DOES allow skydivers to use the sky He created. Bill Cole Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DON Hi Don Well i'm 4ft 9in tall so 5ft 8in plus Works for me At my height there's a lot of tall babes out there. Amazon on the other hand has it all, height personality etc. But I've been in a long term relationship for 32 plus years (the nunber keeps changing every year go figure). R.I.P. I'll crawl back under my moss cover rock now. Amazon if you read this please don't cripple me if we meet again. A little pain would be OK my safe word is OUCH!

slug 1 #20 August 25, 2004 Quotemy mom started jumping back in 1965.at that time there were maybe 3 or 4 women jumpers at our dz. We were jumping at a small DZ in Kansas in 1970 a women (student) started to jump at our DZ in response the pilots wife grounded him Prior to that incident the pilot had told us he was the "king of his castle" (20 yrs). After the incident we asked him what happened to the "king". The pilot found out his crown was on loan from the queenAfter a while the DZ returned to "normal" 4 smelly guys wedged into a cessna for a 1/2 hr climb to 7500'. R.I.P.
