QuoteQuoteQuoteHey Pat, I think you should come over this way for a visit.
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.....

QuoteQuoteYa know...... I turned 60 last year and things just keep getting better and better.
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?"safety first... and What the hell.....

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.

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!

Quotemost of the time DZ hnp from 4500 becuz that is the altitude that your second pass is on (bigger planes)
Why waste fuel for a low get out?
So send up a 182! The A license requires 3500 feet. I hate to see it being ignored."safety first... and What the hell.....

QuoteIll be in Eloy this weekend... Anybody wanna do a full altitude hop n pop
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.....

QuoteQuoteMy home DZ does them from 4500-5000 feet for whatever reason. However you won't get it signed off unless you pull in like 3 sec. from leaving the plane.
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!"safety first... and What the hell.....

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

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.

Two rather chilly hop n'pops. The pilot said it was about 15 degrees at 5k. Not too bad at all.

Correct. I got the same result. It's a pretty straight forward long division problem."safety first... and What the hell.....

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