  1. I'm shortly taking AFFI and TI certification courses. I'd be interested to hear anyones experiences on these courses. What happened to you? Advice, tips, what you'd have done differently given the benifit of hindsight, all gratefully received. I'm interested in both airside and classroom stuff, lesson plans, what the examiners are looking for. Basically any advice you can give.
  2. Hi folks, I have a friend with a MiniDV camera and I have a DV camera. Tried hooking up the firewire cables but no joy. Does anyone know how to transfer video between the two? tia
  3. They run a TurboLet at South Cerney now. Much better than the Cessna days.
  4. Yep, Vicki got the link to the right DZ. Its been a military DZ for years. Recently changed CCI and much warmer welcome to civvies now, thanks Steve.
  5. Just one place left, last chance to get World Class coaching at a rock bottom price. Grab it while you can.
  6. Cya there then, I'll be the sobriety rep, sipping Perrier (NOT)
  7. Hi Jasmin, Thanks for the advice, I'm looking at working on my flattie turns, especially putting some work in on the knees, so I think it'll be cool. Whats wrong with the cable car? Are you going to be out at the Equinox boogie? C:)
  8. Cool Matthew, Thanks for your help, once I've got the flight details, I'll pm you, see if we can do a beer. Cya
  9. I'm planning on visiting the Genting Skyventure wind tunnel on my way out to the Equinox boogie in October. I'm looking on advice/opinions on :- What the genting tunnel is like? I've flown in Orlando and Paris and prefer Orlando. What is the easiest way to get from KUL/Sebang to the tunnel? How much did the transfer cost? How long does it take to get from the airport to Genting? Is it run the same as at Orlando, ie they give you specific times to fit your sessions in? or is it like Paris, you turn up at 9am and hang around till they call you, random like? Are the prices on the genting website still correct and how much time does RM50 buy you? Anyone else going to be at the tunnel on the 15-18 October? So many questions... tia

  11. Yeah I like it more now that its stopped hurting, my pride.
  12. I was on the first lift they did, it was very sweet, watching them holding hands (and you didn't think anyone would notice) as they walked out to the caravan. Good to see Adam back in the air and funny seeing Vicki taking charge.
  13. Bump, There will be two Netheravon jumpers at the Nox, anyone else from the UK?
  14. Sweety, you gonna be there on the Friday?

    DZ Idiots

    Hey don't take it personal, you know he dishes out a dollop every day there's jumpin'. You just happened to dirt surf when the king of the castle had an audience gathered. Ya did kinda leave a wake in the long grass.
  16. Is anyone from the UK going to the Equinox boogie? What deal did you get on your flights? Does anyone want to share a car etc....? Not trying to hijack Sunny's thread, just want to see if I can hook up with UK jumpers while I'm downunder.
  17. There are those who have experienced deep suicidal depression and those who haven't. Just like skydiving, the people who have never been there cannot truly relate to the experience of those who have. Those of you who can find no common ground in your minds or space in your heart for Alastair or anyone else who commits suicide, I hope you never need help yourself. And those of you who are prepared to hold out the hand of friendship, remember the suicidal don't ask for help, for they hold the answer in thier own hands. You have to find them. Michelle, I'm with you.
  18. Never mind the weather, Nethers has a fabulous bar and with the big screen projector there's bound to be stuff to watch if the weathers bad. I'll be bringing a couple of videos and twister along too.
  19. Hey is that the big Z planning on turning points Pm'd ya. Uh and I'm sure I can stand you a beer at the bar.
  20. I just went London, Charlotte, Orlando and back, my rig in a rig bag as carry on. No problems, questions, second looks or anything. It was only when I got back home I realised I still had my hook knife on the chest strap. But no problems whatsoever.
