  1. 1rst of all I am buying my first altimeter and am looking at the digital alt.. does anyone use them to compare them to a regular one..and would you trust them. 2ndly I was able to make my 24th jump today with a friend whose on on his 11th the king air wasnt up on week days (which i have made my last 6 jumps from )so i decided just for the hell of it to go with him on the cesna load and jump from 5500. Well it seemed like it took forever just to get to altitude which i amsure it did, and i geuss i dont realize just how nice a jump from a king air at 14000 really is.. But I still couldnt pass up a chance to jump out of any plane, king air or not.. it is something i cant pass up. and at this rate of jumps i have been doing i should be out of money and deep in debt by sunday.. but arent we all Joe
  2. i Jump at Archway in Vandalia Illinois im from St. Louis so its just about the closest...
  3. Hey everyone, This is my first ever post at Dz.com. Im a static line student. I just did 3 jumps on Sunday so am up to 23 jumps. So far so good accept for the fact that i cant stop jumping. Ive met all jump requirements on my little yellow card aside from a packing class and # of freefalls ... I am going out again on sunday to finish up on freefalls and hopefully My Dz will schedule a packing class soon.. So far my jumps have been great I finally learned the right time to flare on landings.. and am cleared to Jm myself which has made skydiving so much better, I did a 3-way with the owner of my dz and another Jm the other day right at sunset, it was awsome.and nerve wrecking.. i had to jump with the voice i was used to hearing on the radio for the previous 17 or so jumps and now were doing a 3 way while the sun is setting. But all nervousness aside the jump went great.and i was actually able to keep up with them.. and didnt mess anything up.. I am just wandering if the exam for an license is hard and what to expect on it will it just be everything from The 1rst jump school on it . and where do i find something to study from, the sim is like 200 pages long... maybe am just too worried and it wil be a breeze any way i am just rambling on now. ITs nice to have a site for everyone to talk about their jumps and pass on their experiences to all the newbies.
