NickDG 23 #4 October 2, 2009 I got one of those for doing a bandit night jump. Except mine included a fine they said would settle the matter. I ignored it. But I framed the letter . . . NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rapter 0 #6 October 2, 2009 The FAA guy said he had a picture of it, I asked for a copy of it for my wall,... I stated we were 1000 feet below the clouds and 2500 feet across from them, The story went the year before there was a plane crash at the air show and the FAA didn't see it because he was in the parklot banging his girlfriend. So they were being extra careful about what was happening that year. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyrider 0 #7 October 2, 2009 Too bad they weren't being more careful when Paul hooked in doing an Elvis jump! I wonder if anything came of that for the Elvie? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rapter 0 #8 October 2, 2009 We all knew what was there, 6000 ft LZ, he was told no hook turns, jump a larger canopy, 'We" were being careful, He was not. Nothing of it, just some bad press. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
