VectorBoy 0 #18 March 16, 2008 My guess is they got weathered again, stole yuri's bag of shrooms, towed the lander behind chuck's street glide in a wingsuit while wearing roller skates.......we are just waiting for the video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What time do you guys jump? Is that the correct time? Who is Ray Stone? I wonder if he's selling his rig, since he doesn't need it to land anymore.

marcandalysse 0 #21 March 17, 2008 I saw the video this morning, it does indeed exist! Nigel Milligan flew the helicopter and should get some credit for helping set up this amazing historic event. He buzzed over the entire DZ to announce the occasion. Hell of a way to start the day! This should be posted on the home page of DZ.com and be on the cover of the next Parachutist! Congrats! Marc ps- Jeb, let's see you on TV giving credit where credit is due!!
