toronto_bill 0 #1 August 15, 2007 Okay, So the storm came through and we were weathered out for a bit....then it cleared up...but all the tandem passengers had left ! But, it did allow Angus Smith and myself to fit my 2000th jump in to the busy tandem schedule...1st CRW 4 attampts at at a leg dock and then I adjusted and just grabbed the centre cell with my hand. Slid down, did the side by side...and then got the leg lock going, but too freaked to reallise i hadn't let go of my harness grip..lol....a yell solved that and we were screaming from 1600 to oblivion aimed at the runway... Thats when the 206 came in to land. What a sight ! The plane was gone in a flash and we were still hurtling down until I let go.....~300ft. Angus was able to violate the beer line, I alas was hosed and made do with the taxiway. I have climbed around in the rigging of some Tall Ships. But this is insane. I love it. Angus Smith - Thank You for the best 2000th I could ever hope for ! Mr Slick- You always have been my favorite jump pilot. You found a way through to make a down plane a true downplane. Thank You. Next time dont bother... 00Billy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

homer 0 #3 August 16, 2007 Congratulations! That first CRW jump is like your first jump all over again Just keep doing it and the feelings will keep coming. For me there is nothing better than being in a large formation and looking up, down and to both sides to see nothing but canopies all around.

C.McKinley 0 #4 August 21, 2007 Hey Bill i didn't relize that was your 2000th... nice a very nice jump to watch from the ground, seen it all it got me pumped. And Bill i have to thank you for getting Angus back into crew stuff cause since that jump of yours i've been able to get at least one jump in with Angus a weekend. So now that you know you can do it... Lets do that three stack this weekend coming, maybe we can get Derek in on it and make it a four stack!!!Live Hard, Fly Fast, Hope For The Best!!!
