tandembrent 0 #26 April 26, 2005 in 2003 i took a man on a tandem for his 82nd birthday. WE had a great time. he was up-beat and seemed to take it all in. he also said, as most tandem students do, that he would be back! i didn't give that any thought until i was told that i had been requested by a former student to TM again. i was hugely suprised and pleased to see this same man waiting for me in front of the loft! that jump was for his 83rd birthday and he asked if we could just fly the canopy less the free -fall ? we were in the air for about 15 mins. saw a couple of DC-9's go by, touched a cloud or 2. that might be my favorite tandem to date! ***~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!

icarusfx99 0 #28 April 30, 2005 Well, I took an 84 year old a couple of years ago. He is my hero! Rode in on his motorcycle, made a tandem, rode home on his motorcycle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydog 2 #29 May 21, 2005 Today I took an 86 year lady. She arrived at the head of a 60 strong cavalcade of Harley bikers. She was great, even calling me a "nice young man". (she obviously doesnt know me that well ) The local news picked up the story and it was broadcast this evening. She plans to make a skydive every year on her birthday......what a woman, a true inspiration. BrynJourney not destination..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
