  1. I'll shut up then Smile, Get It Over With
  2. I'm back from stupid millitary stuff then. You seriously wanna be in a team with me Maddy? And Max?!! Smile, Get It Over With
  3. Um, you aren't registered tho... Smile, Get It Over With
  4. Cutting away from a hang-up should still release you if the bags out of the container, but it leaves all the "crap" with the aircraft, which is one reason the dispatcher cut you free. Smile, Get It Over With
  5. At least someone remembers, cheers teamy! Maxine did you see Maddy's performance in the scrambles?! Or was that mine... Smile, Get It Over With
  6. Who you gonna be in a team with then Nige? Shouldn't you get at least average first before flying in the tunnel with other people? Smile, Get It Over With
  7. Those pizzas were a bad idea Nigel! I disappeared for 1 moment feeling fine then returned to the smell of many pizzas only to discover they'd all been eaten!!! subsequently I spent the rest of the night starving... Smile, Get It Over With
  8. Hey Ross, there's no mention of the fireworks there. Great day's flying followed by a great night, but I forgot to take photos () so if anyone's got any more please post them up. Smile, Get It Over With
  9. 3000ft. I had a run of pc-in-tow's/hesitations, I like soft openings and landing "on" from bad spots. Also it's not too high to freak anyone exiting after me out. We get 15 grand, why pull low? Smile, Get It Over With
  10. Lots of support there then Nigel? Smile, Get It Over With
  11. You can get pullouts with the pad mounted at the top of the pc, same as a throwaway. Sort of eliminates the problem from base of pc mounted pads. Not that that helps now... Smile, Get It Over With
  12. To be picky, Cockerham are only cleared to 9,5 normally. If anyone's around between 18th and 26th June I believe there's a freefly boogie on... Smile, Get It Over With
  13. Sounds almost exactly like my first mal, only I'd spent close to 100 jumps trying to solve pc hesitation before hand. I had the pc changed, the bridle length checked, the stitching in the lower corners of the container "eased" (A teardrop classic) I changed body position and my throw, but ended up with the same hesitation. The main cleared as the reserve cleared the tray. There was almost no tension on the pin when tested on the ground. Still don't know what caused it. Smile, Get It Over With
  14. I spent several years at Cockerham , It seems to be improving now as I hear, especially with the Porter. Still not a match for Hibble tho Big planes Big altitude. As far as Hinton goes, didn't feel welcome either time I went. Smile, Get It Over With
  15. I lost a gath fitted with a chin-cup on exit last year. Some body's foot caught the release as we rolled out the door. No camera fitted at the time but had 2 audibles.
