jerry81 10 #1 February 11, 2007 Huge congrats to Giancarlo Trimarchi who just passed the test (2 spaceballs, six transitions) here at Skydive Venezuela and became the fourth person in the world to get the Atmosphere Dolphin D license!! Regardless of what anyone thinks about the AD licensing system, it's a freaking hardcore achievement and we will be celebrating it heavily tonight...

Vertifly 0 #2 February 12, 2007 That is great!!! It really is an amazing achievement. And to think that the test has only been around for 8 years and there are already four people on the planet to have passed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fedykin 0 #3 February 12, 2007 Do you know what would be an equally significant achievement IF OLAV WOULD SEND OFF AD CERTIFICATES TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE PAID FOR THEM. Not alot of tasks take 3+ years to achieve, the staff work and planning for the second world war, the korean conflict, the falklands and Tellic 1 didnt take as long as Olav sending off 100 certifigates. Interesting... nice on Giancarlo though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
