mctyeire 0 #1 August 10, 2003 Hello, All! I got my "A" license proficiency card stamped yesterday. The basic joy of skydiving is what addicted me (and everyone else, right?) In only 30 jumps, I've seen such a variety of people, disciplines, styles... aircraft, dropzones, atmospheric conditions... evidence of enough depth and breadth for a lifetime of precious experiences. Many thanks to all who helped me get to this level. I am still just beginning...and looking forward to continuing the learning and intent skyplay with all of you! Chad good friends, blue skies, and sweet, sweet altitude... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mctyeire 0 #6 August 10, 2003 Yep, I’ll do a weekend at Raeford soon. You jump at DeLand? I was there about a month ago, doing very pleasant business with Relative Workshop… toured the impressive PD shop, met some nice folks at TSO-D… and had lunch at the DZ. Next time I’ll be jumping… see ya then! Chad good friends, blue skies, and sweet, sweet altitude... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #8 August 11, 2003 Hi Chad! Welcome to the forums! You will have to some down to Raeford soon. It's a bit of a drive for you, but worth it! I hope the rig is working out well for you!?!?!? Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mctyeire 0 #9 August 11, 2003 Hello again, John. The rig (an early-90's Vector II with a docile main canopy) is perfect for me right now. I had Relative Workshop add a BOC pouch and an RSL. They were amazed to see a vintage container in such pristine condition. I'm all set for another hundred jumps or so, while I attack the learning curve and consider all the options for a first new rig. Then maybe I'll pass the robust Vector II along to another beginner. Been packing the main for about 15 jumps now, and haven't even seen the reserve canopy yet... I'll look for you when I visit Raeford. Chad good friends, blue skies, and sweet, sweet altitude...
