We have at least five ay our DZ.

Very well said, Dorinda! Please visit them all, when you find the right place for you, you'll know it!

i am looking for a new containor, i'll see you there!!

Maybe we need to add a warning to "The Video" not for children...

I cant beat that deal, but i better not say any thing on Jen and her girl crush.....she might throw things at me while i try to video them...uh....i mean her....

UMmmmm....Good!!

I heard we might have a guy fly in with a two seat powered parachute, and we might be able to jump from it...anyone else heard about this?

Sorry about that , I MEANT MAN-OH-MAN....

Man-on-Man this sounds like it's going to be a huge event!! I cant wait to get there,all the KC area jumpers should be highly motivated and excited to be part of this!!

Thanks for the feedback, i really like what i do or i would not have been doing it for so long. I just wanted to know what other instructors thought. Although i cant imagine working at ANY Drop Zone for 12-16 hours a day for free, guess you have to have a lot of money to think that way in the first place. Thanks agein for your options.

The Drop Zone i work for keeps Qouting industry standards for jump prices and cost to the drop zone for running operations and in turn keep raiseing prices of everything from jumps to repacks without paying more to staff. I do not think he is taking into consideration the cost of liveing across the nation. I am a static line instructor with over 17 years of service and i am wanting to know what other S/L Instructors across the nation make, i get paid $15 a student with only the following jump as a bonus,I do not get paid anything for taking up a load or any other benefits. Can anyone tell me if i have a good deal or if i am getting screwed?All truthful feedback is appreciated.

We need more jumpers thinking the way you do !! You are a good Roll model with a lot of spirt! Good post .

Sorry i did not mean to make a "hard fact conclusion", just an observation from what i have seen and been around. I have never seen a side by side where both canopys turn the same direction that you turn one canopy.

I have had two canopy's out at a very low altitude due to my AAD firing. I performed a canopy transfer which was very scary at that altitude did a 180 turn and landed, i was very lucky. I have seen several jumpers land two chutes out in both configurations, side by side and in the 'stacked' form, one on top of the other. I have also seen what happens when a side by side goes into a down plane all by itself at 50'-it's real ugly. I suggest prevention for your first line of defense-no aggressive turns around your AAD set altitude and to solve all problems before you get there. If not i would force a down plane and cut away, if you turn one canopy the other will automatically turn the other way. But remember any thing you do or don't do can make it better or worse.Prevention is your best bet.
