Skydivers will talk with each other, so word of mouth is a big thing. Sponsor a handful of well known and people who travel to events, boogies, big ways... Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

Dust devils are sketchy...
skydivingchad replied to LeeroyJenkins's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
The dust devil I ran into caught me 10 ft off the ground, took us up to 40 ft or so going backwards. Collapsed the canopy, dropped us to 5 ft above the ground. Re-inflated the canopy, snapped us back up to 25 ft or so, horizontal and then dropped us to the ground. After all that fun we got drug 100 ft across the ground until I could disconnect the rsl and cutaway. That was a tandem in PA. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.

Do I know anybody in Anchorage AK?
skydivingchad replied to councilman24's topic in Gear and Rigging
One of the riggers at Perris (Selena) is originally from there. She knows people there. I have known her for years. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3 -
Jumping from B24 Liberator or B25 Mitchell
skydivingchad replied to shorehambeach's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Apparently, Collins foundation will no longer be letting their B17 to be used for jumping. A good friend who has been organizing yearly jumps in my area with them was told "no more". As for a B24 or B25, good luck. They were never set up to easily get passengers from the cabin area to the bombbay. The crew had to crawl though the tunnel in order to get from the front to the back.

With the wide variety of people on here I am hoping that someone has a membership to club 33 and would be willing to make me a reservation. I am planing a special trip with my gf and would love to propose to her there. Any help would be great. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

Vertebrae replacement and recovery time.
skydivingchad replied to aussiefreefly's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I had a burst fracture of my L1 vertebrae after having a canopy collapse. I was reinforced with a cage, screws and rods. I waited a full year before jumping again at my doctors recommendations. I was strong enough and ready after 6 months, but as he said, the bone takes a year to fully regain its strength. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3 -

I now have all of my insurance with State Farm. My life policy covers death related to jumping, with a hefty rider on it. Motorcycle is covered, rig is covered, and my agent is a skydiver too. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

Blue skies peregrinerose (Jennifer Galbraith)
skydivingchad replied to NWFlyer's topic in Blue Skies - In Memory Of
Last Saturday lots of friends and family from all over gathered to give Jen the proper send of that she wanted and deserved. The skyvan only shut down for fuel the entire day. Here is a picture of the ash release. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3 -
I have State Farm life insurance. My agent is also a jumper. I got the policy 7 years ago. I have to pay the rider fee which really jacks up the payment, but it's not horrible. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

Blue skies peregrinerose (Jennifer Galbraith)
skydivingchad replied to NWFlyer's topic in Blue Skies - In Memory Of
10 more days until Jen's ashdive weekend. There are some changes for the weekend. It will now be Saturday and Sunday only. The PAC fell through so I have gone bigger and badder. We will have a Skyvan for the weekend. Jumps are still only $22. No credit cards, cash or check only. If you are in the area or want a weekend getaway come out to Maytown Sport Parachute Club and help me honor Jen the way she wanted, with jumping, drinking, stories and friends. Jim Smith will be organizing RW and Jamie Sides said he would organize FF. There will also be some CRW jumps happening too. Chad Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.

Jennifer Galbraith Memorial Ashdive June 27-29
skydivingchad replied to skydivingchad's topic in Events & Places to Jump
There is less then a month to go until Jen's ashdive weekend. There has been some changes. My deal to have a PAC-750 fell through. I have managed to secure a Skyvan for Saturday and Sunday. I want everyone to come out and have a good time. Jump tickets are still only $22. No credit cards. Cash or check with 15 forms of ID, or your gear as collateral. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3 -
P3 and the future of big ways in America
skydivingchad replied to mirage62's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
That is one of my issues. I am an east coast jumper who cannot afford to travel to CA in order to get big way training. It is difficult to find some on the east coast. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3 -
Jennifer Galbraith Memorial Ashdive June 27-29
skydivingchad replied to skydivingchad's topic in Events & Places to Jump
It has been almost 7 months since my Scout, Jennifer Galbraith left this world. I have been working on fulfilling her wishes of having her ashes scattered on a skydive. This is the information. I have arranged to have a PAC750 for the weekend of June 27, 28, 29 At Maytown Sport Parachute Club in Maytown, PA. Jen wanted to be celebrated, not mourned and that is what we are going to do. I want to invite anyone who would like to come and jump that weekend to be there. The ashdive will be on Saturday afternoon/evening followed up by a cook out on site. There will be lots of jumping, drinking, lying, and story telling, as it should be. Jen loved skydiving so much. It helped make her who she was, so please come out and be apart of this. June 27-29. Maytown Sport Parachute Club, 188 Airport Rd, Marietta, PA 17547 PAC750 along with the clubs two 182's PAC jumps will be $22, I am not making any money on this. Jim Smith will be there to organize belly jumpers There are a lot of championship winning CRW dogs that call Maytown home. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3 -
