321seeya 0 #1 August 16, 2004 Today, while flying around and surveying the damage from the hurricane, I noticed something odd on an A that I routinely fly around.....There was a person about to launch from it! I was at an altitude of about 900ft agl and this A is known to be around 600ft or so. I was watching the person on the A, when I noticed a canopy (Purple with a white center cell) flaring to land. I lost sight of the person on the A, but gained visual with them again when their canopy opened. I have been thinking about making a jump for a while now, and that sealed the deal. You two guys, or gals have the biggest balls I have ever seen! Ballsy Jump at 10:00 in the morning......Two thumbs up. I dont know who you are, but you made my day! Thank You!

skreamer 1 #2 August 16, 2004 Jumping an A in daylight and getting spotted isn't ballsy it is stupid. What if the person in the plane wasn't BASE friendly like yourself but decided to report this? There are lots of official types in Florida right now (such as GWB to name one), maybe not the best time to be day-blazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
