Be careful!!! Be very, very careful if you mess with Skootz' lists!!!!!! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

I'm so glad you waited until your got the ok to jump.

But the view from the airat night is awesome and they are fun!!! I did the two for my D and I've done a couple more. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Here's a link to Aerodyne on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Aerodyne-Research-LLC/287559164745 I haven't looked for it on their webpage. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

That's a fantastic idea but I can't even imagine how much that would cost! I'm afraid to even look. It's cheaper for you to fly here than me to fly there that's for shizzle Oh AND you get a seniors discount too dont you Quick check $1350.00 return including Tax, LAX to Perth Sheesh! I haven't been a senior long enough to remember to ask for discounts, but then I don't fell very seniorish either! Since I live in Boise, that probably means another $300 or more to get to and from LAX. There are no cheap routes to anywhere from here! But, it's not as bad as I figures it might be. Since the airfare to get there would break me, who'd pay for my jumps? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

And You still have not met me yet Pat,, just think how much richer your life will be when that happens If you think the best in your life has already happened, kill yourself now, because it's all down hill from there. So when are you coming to this part of the world again?

Ya know...... I turned 60 last year and things just keep getting better and better. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Elsinore is such an awesome place to jump. why does this have to be during the school year when I can't get away? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great day!

Your persistence and determination are great. You're working with some great people, too. I hope I get to meet you next month when I'm at Elsinore. Pat

I'm 60 and just started skydiving 3 years ago. I have managed to be on two state record jumps and made friends in the skydiving community all over the country. You don't have to be young and cute to have fun skydiving!

It was a pretty nice weekend for this time of year... 4 skydives! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Here's a link to the video on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLblHi2IUs4&feature=player_embedded#! It was sure awesome to share the sky with so many talented women. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

So send up a 182! The A license requires 3500 feet. I hate to see it being ignored. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

With planes dropping loads every few minutes, that's not a great idea! There's a canopy safety seminar Saturday evening. You should try to make it to that. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Maybe for your water training they'll just throw a wet towel in your face. They should have you do the hop and pop from 3500' to get your license. I don't want to be the guy shoving you out of the plane on an emergency exit 'cause you balk in the door. I'm with you, John. And only waiting 3 seconds sure doesn't put you at 3500 feet!

Does Thursday count? I managed to get one jump and landed in the mud! Yuck! It was still fun though. I'll take what I can get in the winter. I should have some nice numbers soon, though. I'm heading to Eloy the day after Christmas "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

WEll, I've been thinking about trying a wingsuit for quite a while. If Spot has something that will work for me, I'll give it a try.

I'll tell her "Hi" for you.

Two rather chilly hop n'pops. The pilot said it was about 15 degrees at 5k. Not too bad at all. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Correct. I got the same result. It's a pretty straight forward long division problem. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

or 42 See post #27 Also the rules are, to paraphrase, describe or refer to a number and then respond with the number itself ...not the other way around.
