  1. Super time of year to go. I went in February a few years back right after I got my A and again this past January. The weather is great and there is plenty of jumping going on. Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  2. I will say that I did just finish the TICC, haven't even done my phase two jumps yet. But whoever thinks that this mal is not black and white is crazy! Chop that thing! I wonder if the original poster is even accurate about 4 blown cells and they landed it uneventfully. That thing could further disintegrate at any moment! CHOP IT!

  3. Just received a complete new rig from these guys and it was a great experience. There isn't any place to write a review for them so I thought I'd give them an "adaboy" right here. Price and service were both outstanding! Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  4. I'm thinking of starting video flying and interested in knowing a good complete setup, from helmet to accessories. Moderately priced. I'm sure there will be all kinds of opinions here! Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  5. If you come here to pound out jump numbers you've come to the wrong place. I went to the DZ on a Teusday and was told I may be able to get on a load or two. I got on two loads. Not sure what all the complaints are about below, but I thought they were very friendly and helpful. Yes, they cater to Tandems but that's what keeps the plane up in the air. I really enjoyed the place and the scenery from altitude was amazing! Simply call ahead if you go out on a weekday and see what they have scheduled. Who can blame them for not taking a King Air up for a couple of up-jumpers? You're nuts if you don't think they need some Tandems on the load.
  6. Where's a good place to jump on March 15th near Charlotte? Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  7. Not sure what the previous review is all about. I'm a coach and took a student down. He needed five more jumps for his license. After DZ review and his currency jump we were well on our way. Invited by some others for different jumps. The staff was excellent! Organiation and everything was well run.
  8. I don't like it because there is a nude man and a very well clothed woman. Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  9. I'm looking for some place to jump this weekend within a 9-10 hour drive of Columbus, Ohio. Is there anyplace open this weekend or is it going to be too freakin cold everywhere? Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  10. I can live with 83. Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  11. Planning a trip to Florida over MLK weekend. Where is the best place to go? My wife doesn't jump and would like to go to the beach. Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  12. I worked at a primary school just like this. The Indiana/Ohio border went right down the center of the school. It was a tax nightmare. Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  13. I am also going to be on the Glory next month. When are you going? We are on the week of June11th or something. Anyhow, this is my third cruise and I love it. People are going to kiss your arse for a week. I am a small business owner who normally dislikes vacations but always happy on a cruise. The crummy thing is that I like to jump when I travel and there are no DZ's where we're going! Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  14. Interesting fact: Before the BCS Championship the Buckeyes had a 1:6 chance of winning the championship in both football and basketball. The Gators 1:20. What are the odds now? Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
