You old slapper ;o) Craig - i'll probably have one of them freaky tight suits with sausages on too. Nice booties though! Mine's a San Miguel in the bar afterwards Rgds Phil Regards, Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand

We were in Fla. in Dec/Jan. Weather was shite in Lake Wales so we 'popped' over to Titusville. Had a chat to the guys there - really nice people... nice new spanking clean Cessna Caravan too! (IIRC) There are few outs. Usually airfields are out in the sticks where no sod lives - but this place seems right in the 'burbs'. So it's roads / trees / etc etc BUT...nothing to worry about, it is a REALLY big airfield Have fun Regards, Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand

Also check out uk.rec.skydiving - there are usually some AFF threads Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand

The AFF in Spain *USUALLY* includes a video of the *FIRST* jump of that level... For example... My AFF level 5 and 6 vids are TERRIBLE! Flat spinnig nall over the sky... not the thing you want to show to your future CCI . So - if you pass each level on the first jump - then you have a nice video to show! If you fail dismally, when you do qualify - you have a nice video to show all your new DZ buddies when the weather is shite and everyone's bored at the DZ Ditto on the bum tonguing - tact and politeness is the key. Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand

Where do you intend to jump? Are you based in the UK? (your profile doesn't say - somewhere between Iceland and Egypt!) Check with your intended drop zone - they are the ones you will have to convince that you have completed the required AFF levels and jumps. AFF in the UK is: AFF levels 1-7 various drills, competence and manoeuvres (stable pos'n, turns, back flip, tracking) AFF level 8 is hop 'n' pop - exit at 5000ft with a 5-10 second delay, to get stable and pull. To get to CAT8 (A licence) you also need to complete 10 consolidation (solo) jumps. If you manage to do all this in Spain (i didnt, coz i was crap ) when you return, your CCI should sign your A licence application form to say that you have attained the required level. All down to the CCI - so check with the DZ first. I personally got to AFF level 5 (in 13 jumps ) in Spain, then continued the remaining levels in the UK. *I* personally didint have any problem with the UK DZ / CCI accepting that I had attained that level over in Spain... Bottom line - speak to the DZ/CCI - oh, and have fun ! Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand

hmmmm - can i come and watch too please? Only thing i can think of - try it with a 12.5st crash test dummy or similar - see what happens then... Where is the viaduct? Either PM me or tell me the weekend. Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand

Oooppps - sorry :o( My nickname when i was in Empuria was the Spin Doctor - have you seen my AFF video? In fact - i have 2 South African buddies who still refer to me affectionately with that term Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand

Ding - the sound of a penny dropping I dont think you are an oriental cookware thief though - maybe i should look harder (DO you have a bit of a pot) Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand

3, man, have you thought about becoming a councillor? Maybe specialise in drug and sexual rehab? Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand

I seem to remember '3 eyebrows Jo' too Dont you know what a wok smuggler is? Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand

I just started sit flying too... First time i tried... had the same problem - my feet / lower legs were catching the air and flipping me around in a spin. Dont let the air push you around - you have to push down on your feet and be quite positive with it. The other thing is the VRW or stable position. This is what i/we call the 'bomb' position - arms out and knees tucked in - much better than going flat... then push your feet down from this position. Feet flat on the wind flow and lower legs absolutely vertical otherwise they will catch the air and flip you around again.... Good Luck, blues... Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand

Hmmm - in the interests of sexual equality.... i could post a piccy of me topless with my rig on...... Then again....... Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand

So, no shit - there we were, 5 bored skydivers sitting watching skydiving videos... It was a wet and windy Sunday afternoon.... That is always a recipe for disaster.... I suddenly had a great idea....... "Let's fcuk off to Empuria next weekend...." Then the sound of whirring and clicking - all 5 skydivers thinking if it *were* actually possible..... Hmmmmmmm............................................................ Phil --- If you have to ask, you don't understand
