McDuck 0 #1 September 22, 2004 Okay, which of our Swiss friends were unwittingly making me writhe in perceived agony in the little car I was in while they paraglided near the town of Vionaz last week? You know, all you had to do was fire up the McDuck signal beacon and I would have been there in a heartbeat. No fair.

piisfish 140 #2 September 23, 2004 you should have come to Bottens, had great fun, boat jumps, shark jumps, intentionnal (and plannd) cutaways, cutaways (not planned before opening the main), some nice RW, beautiful swooping, low passes with the plane...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDuck 0 #3 September 24, 2004 Man! I can't believe we missed all of that! Actually, I CAN believe it, but it makes me sad. We just couldn't get there in the time we had without making our host go well out of her way. Hey, is that airstrip you can see from the castle at Gruyeres the place where you jump while in that area? If so, where is the landing site? I was guessing near the soccer field, but it was just a guess. We'll get back there soon and make some jumps with you. We're trying to come up with a plan for that.Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

piisfish 140 #4 September 24, 2004 yeah, that was a good try, but the landing area is more or less the one in the red box on the attached picture... With a limit of 10 meters from the road and 30 meters from the helicopter padscissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDuck 0 #5 September 28, 2004 Ah, so. I wasn't THAT far off. I'll bet the view of the castle and the surrounding countryside is beautiful from under canopy.

McDuck 0 #8 September 29, 2004 Darn it, Nic...rub my nose in it, why don't you! Okay, it's settled: we're not going to miss the next opportunity to jump with all of you. Even if I have to sell internal organs to make the trip, it's going to happen. Looks like you had a blast.
