  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
  15. It's ON! This is going to be painful in soooo many ways, no matter the outcome! Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  16. Why can't we take one day from two of the months with 31 days and give them to February? On leap year we could have 31 days in February. That way all of the months would have 30 or 31 days instead of 28, 29, 30 or 31. Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  17. My son is three but he is not in school yet. Besides I think he's going to be more of a D & F guy. Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  18. My goal every year on groundhog day is to run over one. I actually had success only one year. Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  19. Are you guys doing any jumping anywhere on the 9th of February? I'm coming to MN for a conference and would like to try a cold weather jump. Aparently nobody here in Ohio wants to. Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  20. "With one of these, I can get one of those any time I want!" Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  21. I don't know how to give you a link other than to tell you to use the search. There is a thread in the instructors forum titled " Tandem Master Jokes or Lines for Students" There are pages of hilarious one liners and pranks there.

  22. When my son was 11 months my wife was worried because he wasn't saying anything and told me to teach him to talk. I turned to him and said, "hey Mitch, say booger" He looked at me and said "BOOGER". I took him to the book store when he was thirteen months old and as we walked by some lady he said "hi, how are you?" We were both pretty shocked.

  23. Well......there is still Eloy I bow to the Gator Fans, they played some football tonight. I wasted a tremendous amount of jump $ for a crappy game that the Buckeyes did not even come to. Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best
  24. Went last weekend at 35 jumps and a new canopy. They did the proper safety checks and were very organized. No cliques, just people that like to jump and have a good, safe time with anyone. A local wuffo even brought pizza!
