Casch 0 #3 April 25, 2004 That is one helluva log book, nice work. But where's the detail about the jump that says what you did, who you jumped with, you're personal experiences etc? And it looks like you did one helluva lot of solos too! Damn! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #5 April 25, 2004 Hi Russell! How did you come to do your first seven static line jumps at five different locations? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
efs4ever 3 #6 April 25, 2004 QuoteHi Russell! How did you come to do your first seven static line jumps at five different locations? Well, things were different back then. My first jump course was taught by Garry Swain, who was a co-worker. First one was at Aero Country in Dallas. I pretty much went where Swain went. It was his gear. Second one was at Seagoville. Third was at Georgetown, while Swain and I were on company business. (Big Al put me out on a T-10.) Fifth one was at the annual Lake Whitney Water Jump Boogie at Lake Whitney State Park. By then I was jumping my own PC. Number seven was at Commerce, home of East Texas State University Skydiving Club. That was the day of my first freefall. (Rolled on my back and dumped!) Russell M.

That's funny to me, because I had the same type of experience. After finishing my static line progression, I was cleared for free fall. I was supposed to do a 3-second delay. But I got freaked out not having that reassuring static line connecting me to the plane, so I just let go of the strut and dumped immediately, rolling onto my side while doing so. My instructor made me go back and do three more static lines, to make sure I got it correct. Doh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's funny to me, because I had the same type of experience. Actually, there are about 30 static lines. I was made to do an S/L after being off for the winter. Later, I made many S/Ls while training students on t-10s. I would go up and "test" the winds! I jumped with Forrest McBride and his plane. He was the ULTIMATE Gypsy!! Russell M.
