  2. I used to play with my brother and friends before he died and I've missed it since. I think they're a lot of fun, but you do need to be creative and have an impagination. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

  7. Last year, we had the first Michelle Barker No Turbines Boogie (all C-182's) and when we first started planning this one, we expected to have the same. Then, thanks to Rex at West Plains Skydiving in Ritzville, WA, we found out we're going to have their caravan on ihe way to its winter quarters in Mesquite. Too late to change to boogie name, so the no turbine boogie with a turbine. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  8. Our no turbine boogie will have a turbine and lots of fun. We're still lookikng to see if there are people interested in doing a ffc for wingwuiting or coach jumps. Idaho in October is spectacular. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  9. Happy Birthday. Have a great day.!!!
  10. I don't know. It looks to me more like they are really looking for something. Maybe some cowfetti for you to send on to people who like sparkly stuff "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  11. What's with the guys here? Don't they know what you want to hear is about how cute and loveable cows are? Not how they taste after some time on the grill. Sheesh "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  12. I'll let our locals know you're interested. I do know of one who has been teaching himself wingsuiting and would really love a FFC. I think we could round up a few. How many people would it take to get you to come? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  13. That's what I've heard today too!!.. I guess it's the Almost No Turbines Boogies, now. lol. Hopefully a few of you guys will make it down for one last weekend with Big Bird. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

  15. 0:5: Woo hoo!! Night jumps! Thanks to everyone at West Plains. Like JohnMitchell said, there were some weather issues, but it was still a great time. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  16. Well, even if the weather didn't cooperate real well, it was a funbn time. Thanks for a great weekend, especially the night jumps. They were absolutely awesome! See you in the spring!
  17. Yes, it is amazing. I did both my required night jumps Friday night at West Plains skydiving in Ritzville. I was pretty nervous myself about trying to find a not real familiar dropzone from 12,000 feet. I could find it! Glad you had fun too. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  18. Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great day.
