tdog 0 #1 November 7, 2005 Ah, time to go to bed... After 6 days of work/weather delays at the DZ, I finally got my coach rating and I am exhausted. I wanted a challenge, so I welcomed Don Yahrling as one of my evaluators (he was in town for an AFF I class)... Little did I know my "student" he played would be a smart talking know it all (who was right more than not) NY city taxi cab driver who seemed to have the whole ISP memorized and, even without a rig on, if he saw me point he would say, "Pull?" Well, the one jump I did with him - clouds caused us to exit at 5K, so we did not get much done and made it a fun jump. Don, if you are out there - I learned a lot from you and the taxi driver... Thanks for the jump! The funny part about this... One of the jumps I did with another evaluator - the winds were so strong above 800 feet (like 25-40 MPH) that they required a C licence or better to jump... I looked at my "student", who was flying a highly loaded elliptical, and said, "normally this means we would be grounded, but since you are flying that canopy I guess all rules are off. Mind if I give you a gear check before we jump, and please limit your hook turns to the non-student landing area! Anyway - if anyone who worked with me on the rating is reading, THANK YOU for all your teaching. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
