diverdriver 7 #51 January 16, 2004 It happens to everyone.... [american pie voice] ...and this one time, flying on a world record....I had Kate Cooper sitting in my right seat all week, and we told stories, and I was all gushy and stuff.... The end.

FunBobby 0 #52 January 16, 2004 The drop zone where I learned to jump in FL sits about 40 miles south of the base I flew in and out of; it's also about 20 miles north of the bombing range we frequented whilst I was there. During my earlier days, when flying to or from the range, as we neared the airport, I would bank the airplane, excitedly point out the DZ and tell whoever was flying with me "That's where I skydive!!!" I would note our altitude and remark offhandedly, "Yeah, this is about where I jump out . . ." or "This is just about where I open my chute . . ." Of course, the NFO type would get rather edgy if I said, "Hmmmm. I wonder what it would be like to jump right here, right now!" Now, in San Diego, whenever we fly east into the desert (coming home, too!) we fly right over the DZ, and I do just about the same thing.
