chopchop 0 #1 September 11, 2003 Yep.. the weather cooperated and 5 jumpers did their first and second night jumps out of the 206.. There were 10 of us total.. I did one nice 2-way ff with James from San Diego.. and then we did a 5 way belly round.. IT was so nice.. we could hear each other in freefall in the round.. Night jumps are magic.. There wass a little swooping activity as well cuz the winds were almost non-existant on the last load.. chopchop gotta go... Plaything needs a spanking..

hookitt 1 #4 September 11, 2003 I hear hookitt's brother was having a nice night hookturn fest. (pardon me.. I mean swoopfest) Sorry to have missed it, but there were big ass military rigs to pack last night. I'm glad you guys had fun...

AggieDave 6 #5 September 11, 2003 Quotebig ass military rigs Ok, Spec Ops guys are the ones that use those rigs...how many Spec Ops types do you know with big asses? You were probably safe not packing the big ass rigs, since they won't get used that much. Just save them until one of the reserve units have to come and jump them, then you'll probably have to repack them... --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

nightjumps 1 #19 September 11, 2003 OH YEAH!! We did nightjumps last night too. We had three folks making their first nightjumps and it was beautiful. Full bright moon and mars close to earth entered in the logbook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chopchop 0 #20 September 11, 2003 It definitely was a huge bright moon last night... I could see the 3-way I was diving to as clear as could be.. And you gotta love the looks on people's faces after their first night jump.. or second.. or third.. or fourth....... chopchop gotta go... Plaything needs a spanking..

Vertifly 0 #21 September 11, 2003 Great that you guys over there had fun too!!! Check out this post from http://www.skydivecrosskeys.com 09-10-2003 The turnout for night jumps was terrific, and the moon was enormous! Thank you to all the skydivers who visited from other dropzones. It was great to see everybody! We flew 12 loads in the chopper and then we ate 2 cakes, thanks to Shannon, Cindy, and Sarah, who had the birthday! Glenn Bangs gave the jump briefing. Johnny and the 3-ring boys provided the noise, and entertained in the landing area. Thankfully, the turbine chopper is even louder than they are. We watched night freefall video on the big screen in the hangar. Everyone had such a good time that, at midnight, there were still people in the hangar, reluctant to admit they had to go home, as it was a weeknight. We predict the USPA will get a flood of D License applications tomorrow! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
