  1. I met Robert at Cal. City in 1995-96. He really liked his Zappa, always had a smile on his face, loved airplanes, really took care of Cal City.
  2. Kliff was a person I made my first road trip with. We jumped at a Halloween boogie at Coolidge Az in 89. We were the last ones out, and at 15,000. The spotter told us if we didn't like the spot tell the pilot to go around, Kliff and, l figured we could make it back. It was a fun couple of days. I will miss his smile around the DZ.
  3. I met Cathy in 2010 at her DZ in Geogia. I stop in on my way to S.C.. She saw my licenses and put me to work doing AFF. I saw the way she stuffed my pilot chute in my pouch and I looked frightened, she looks at me and says It'll open don't worry. I stayed a couple of days doing AFF, but I got a signed t-shirt from her, and I still won't wear it. It's a keep's sake. What a nice lady, with stories to tell.
  4. If you are worried about safety, become an instructor and teach safe skydiving. If you want to know more about your gear become a rigger.
  5. Hi My Name is Dan Johnson I had the pleasure of teaching Tom his First Jump Course at Pepperell. He was a fantastic student. You show him the dive and he would practice it until jump time. We combined Level 4&5, because he was so on it. So sorry for your loss.
  6. I like to hear her snort when she laughed too hard.
  7. I remember on my final I had to straighten out a round reserve before packing, and I remember Dave telling me Don't Cut my Lines! Rest in peace Dave.

  9. are you aware that Jim Sellers past away Daniel Johnson
  10. Wouldn't a malfunctioning 107 or smaller parachute compared to a Sabre 170, lose more alt quicker in a malfunction. It would seem less material over your head, less drag faster you reach your decision alt. Daniel Johnson
  11. Dave DeWolf has a very good course. He uses very talented DPREs. If you are serious, check him out.
  12. When we have overweight customers come in for a Tandem, we put them in a harness, have them hang , then we ask them to lift their legs up, if they can't lift their legs up they don't jump. It's really simple.This was in Ocean City.
  13. I'm sorry to hear that Adam passed away. He well have a lot of company where he's at. There will Dave, John, Dan M., Kelly, Annie, Sue, C.J.. There will be a lot of catching up to do. I hope he's in a better place. He will be missed! I hope there will be ceilings to throw forks into. All thats left is me Jim, Brian and Keith. Daniel Johnson
  14. Depending on where you jump and the condition of the Tandem Rig you may want to think about having shoulder pads in your jumpsuit to protect your shoulder from tearing your rotator, and maybe some knee pads for those buckle attachment on the floor of the aircraft.
