  1. Excuses, excuses excuses didn't matter though 'cause all the RW loads we got on were zoos anyway!
  2. 1) Of course she'll need to pull handles, I have a traning harness (old Racer, finally found a good use for it!) 2) Of course I'll use pictures as well, although pausing the video should work just fine. I can get a copy of the Mal test video. 3) As for flying camera, I didn't say I was, I said I wanted to. Jeesh, give a guy a break. I wouldn't half-ass it for her any more than I'd half-ass it upstairs.
  3. The load minimum is 10. So we need 20+ jumpers to keep running it hot. Numbers look good so far, and it's only, um, what day is it anyway, oh yeah, Wednesday. Last time we had it there some of the guys with two rigs made every load so I think it'll happen. I got a feeling.
  4. Don't rain on the parade, get out there and hustle us up some jumpers! Let's make this happen!
  5. The Beech 99 is like a larger KA with an otter (large) door. Come on out, with Garreth's crew there there WILL be some good RW jumps going on, gar-un-teed!
  6. Congrats! Guess you guys already got someone for that contract, huh?
  7. OK 24 bottles AND Wine! ROTFLMAO I couldn't have done it without you guys (snif).
  8. Hey! All y'all want to make it a Big Way???? We'll have to do some RW so we can get Jen to come.
  9. Well, OK, Iguess you can come
  10. OK Here's the role call so far: vdschoor jsaxton hookitt (??) girlfalldown (but I'm not getting on the same load as hookitt) chopchop and maybe plaything Fireflyr Gareth with his group of 4? genoy (if I get over my head-cold and I need to bug hookitt about packing and plf'ing again). Harlan (says he'll be there by 10) Joel (says he'll be jumping) Deuce (HE better not be late) StearmanR985 (He's bringing Wine!!!) noshitthereiwas (confirmed) Chris Debar Gary (noshit's friend)
  11. Bring the kids, I'll help babysit!
  12. I have a very nice boat located 10 minutes from the DZ!
  13. Huge, easily 5-10 times as large as Lodi.
  14. I can use Break Away for the malfunctions unit along with some other materials I have collected to help me. We don't really need a student rig for the equipment familiarization unit, sport gear will do. Of course she will have to do handle touches on the real gear before she jumps. I'm pretty sure I can get a clock altimeter from the DZ this weekend. A horizontal trainer can be made with a couple of cushions on the floor. Not sure she will be jumping a KA on her first jump anyway so we can rig up something for the exit unit. I don't think that they will let me do a FJC for free at the DZ. I'd be perfectly willing to do it, but they do make money off it as well. I was thinking that the idea is to do this as cheaply as possible since Lany has a limited budget right now, that's why I suggested we try to get Bill to go for it and do it at Lodi. I want to fly camera on her jumps! What could possibly go wrong? After all we are all highly trained professionals Come on out to Byron this weekend and jump or party with us!
  15. Forcast for Partly cloudy with a slight chance of rain. Saturday looks like the best bet. Even if the KA isn't fixed if we can roust enough people hopefully we can get the Beech 99! I'll bring wine! Oh Shit! Iwan is coming, so it looks like I'm rigless again
  16. Yeah, I was on my belly in a fast suit.
  17. I almost got a dock like that with a very small thin girl at Lodi once. Honest!
  18. I was assuming that you would do it under the direct supervision of a rigger
