Uh-oh. Vicki, what are we going to do, draw straws? Or will you just turn on the charm? Most of our group are girls - how much can we weigh between us? I bet we can all get off together and he won't even FEEL it ;) Burner does indeed rock, and I have every faith in him...

Well Jeanne...if I love my first jump (12/26 AM) and have enough cash by 1/1 and if there is still room on 1/1 - maybe I'll make another balloon jump (that's just a handful of regular jumps and I really want to hit 400) :)
See you there........

Dreams become reality, one choice at a time...

No one will have a problem getting me to take their picture. The problem will be getting over retina burn from the flash. I'll be set up to print your pictures on site, or if you want (or need "$") to wait, they'll be on my shutterfly site shortly after I get home.

Now, if you're in the witness protection program like Andrea, (I told you not to marry that Gravano guy) I'll be happy to not photograph you. Just let me know.

But it will still cost you. Just note the check as "blackmail money" instead of "photographer fees". I've already sent my money order to JP. :P

Those ex-cops know ALL the loopholes. [:/]

Are these "official" manifests for the Balloon jumps at Eloy?

If so I'm seriously rethinking my decision to attend any part of the boogie. This goes against the "spirit" in which these have been done in the past.

I've attended the "Holiday Boogie" in Eloy for the past 3 years, and while I like DZ.com this thing is getting out of hand. WAY too much organization.

The Holiday Boogie is/was a great time and place for people who are suffering from the winter weather, and lack of jumps to come out and go crazy with the number of loads going, and meet new people.

I question the practice of "pre-segregating" the DZ.comers from everyone else, and some of the silly heavy handed and over bearing restrictions that are being placed on what has in the past been a very fun and loosely run event.

Like I said I am still on the fence about this one, but I might just stay home where I won't have to be checked out, pre-approved, or trained-up to make some fun jumps.

If I wanted those experiences I'd go get a physical, apply for a loan, or enroll in a technical program.

Here's to everyone enjoying their holiday!

Calm down Francis. Take a few deep breath and it'll be alright. Besides, if you don't show it just means more free beer for me:P:D

Well JP when you run 8-9 aircraft 2 minutes apart with 800 people, some things have to be organized. :)

And the way it's been handled for the past 4 yeasr has been a problem? I don't think so. I understand resonable saftey, I've attended the brefings each year for the high altitude jumpe, the bi-plane jums, ect.

But Pre-manifesting the Balloon jumps? This is going to get excessive, and I recon no DZ.commer well harbor resentment towards DZ.com when they find themselves at the end of the line.

The name's not Francis.



OK. Either someone has never seen Stripes before or needs to step away from the Caffeine;)
