After the meet, we decided to drive over to another Az. dropzone that at that time had a bit of, shall I say an 'outlaw' image. The ten of us wandered around for twenty minutes to kind of get the feel of the place as many jumpers do when they come to a new dropzone. Suddenly the WHAP of impact stops everyone in their tracks...not 30 yards from the clubhouse is a prone figure, no handles pulled. The first remark I heard was from a crusty old salt, with patches all over his jumpsuit covering tears, mismatched shoes, carrying a rig that was a dinosaur even back then....His comment: " I don't know who spotted that load, but he's good!" We all looked at each other, headed for the van and left for home, 2500 mile east. Those Arizona guys were HARD! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
