normiss 893 #1 August 20, 2008 Another forum thread got me to thinking. What are some of the nicknames jumpers have received? "Plane ride" "Sunset" are the first two that come to mind... any other good ones? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydude2000 3 #12 August 20, 2008 I think the first one I got when I was a student was 'Chopper'. They counted; 34 spins in 15 seconds, and I STILL pulled at 3, 500. Then I dove out about a minute early on my Solo checkout dive. Landed a mile off the DZ in a cornfield. That one earned me 'Super spotter'. Then 'Flying Tiger after my tunnel trip. My 'tiger claw' hand position, and the fact that I looked like I was angry at the air.PULL!! or DIE!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I spotted and 20 way out of an otter and the nearest just landed 2 miles from the airport. OOP's. I have no idea to this day how I managed that one.
