kansasskydiver 0 #1 August 15, 2003 So we're thinking of bringing a porter down to our dz sometime, but we don't have Jet-A at our dz. We came up with the idea of B.Y.O.F We'll supply the milk jugs, bring 2 gallons per jumper per load plus $17 to alt. Think it would work lol<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist!

bmcd308 0 #4 August 15, 2003 I guess Mullins just has me spoiled - $16 to 14,500, higher if earned by the ladies. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kansasskydiver 0 #5 August 15, 2003 ya know what, i never thought of that part. Bring your own fuel and jumps will be $10, how much is jet a? 2.50 a gallon? and no i don't need a new hat Chris<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevin922 0 #7 August 15, 2003 is this a joke? Seems like to me you run a large risk of contamination.. you don't have any quality control on the fuel that is coming.. seems a wee bit risky considering all the incidents i've read having to do with fuel contamination.. maybe this was a joke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmcd308 0 #8 August 15, 2003 I think it almost has to be a joke. If I saw a big group of skydivers, each carrying two gallon jugs of what might be a flammable liquid, I'd want to be NOWHERE in the area. That's 2 legs of the Triangle of Doom. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmcd308 0 #10 August 15, 2003 I know a Jill, but she's Jill H. to me. I would not think she would talk about me, as we don't really jump together all that often - she primarily flies camera. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now...it only gets dangerous when the military grade explosives come out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmcd308 0 #12 August 15, 2003 It's a regular occurrence in Tennessee, too. And trust me, it's dangerous LONG before the explosives come out (even though it is MORE dangerous once they do).

freeflir29 0 #13 August 15, 2003 QuoteAnd trust me, it's dangerous LONG before the explosives come out I used to skydive quite a bit with the "Chattanooga Posse." They are plenty dangerous just while skydiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmcd308 0 #14 August 15, 2003 I'm originally from Chattanooga and will be back there soon. Who are the Chattanooga posse? ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #15 August 15, 2003 QuoteWho are the Chattanooga posse? There's quite a few that used to hit the boogies in Georgia. Lyle and Travis Stewart I have many jumps with and Terry (Don't remember his last name) Flies a red and black Xaos 21. Of course Chris and Beezy from Precision. The 1/2 DZO of SD Atlanta is from C-town. Tim Merrick. There's "Cowboy" of Cowboy Video Productions. I made my first jump at Rantoul last year with a bunch of them. It was a 9 way tube dive and I had only jumped with about 3 of the people before. What fun!!! Many that I have met but alcohol has blurred their names from memory.

freeflir29 0 #17 August 15, 2003 QuoteI'm going to try to look these guys up and visit a new dz. That would be a good thing. A lot of very cool skydivers from TN. If you are anywhere near Atlanta on the first weekend of November SD Atlanta ( In Thomaston) throws a KILLER boogie. Usually several of these guys show up. There's also at least a couple more from the Knoxville area too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
