My FIRST Cesna jump

Recommended Posts

Screw the beer, you owe a keg! What were you thinking jumping out of a Cessna?!?:P
Just kidding. I jump at a Cessna DZ, so I got to give all you big-bird jumpers crap...

Congrats on the Cessna jump... how was the ride up? Nice and COZY???

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it.

Your First Cessna jUmp on Jump 150!!!!!! Poor Baby........ :P
I had 120 jumps and 2 chopper jumps before i got to jump my first turbine.................. Welcome to Kansas!!!

Blue Skies,



It was jump#450. I jumped a C130 before I jumped a Cesna!

I loved the ride, I loved hanging from the strut, I was in there with a tandem and video guy, don't see why everyone complains about them.

Lets see what you say when you go back to the luxury of the turbine...

#1 rule of a Cessna DZ ... There will be NO 15 minute turn times, nor 20, nor 30...

Skydive Chicago is my home DZ. They put up the Cesna for a single early morning tandem, I happened to be at the DZ early to pick up the remnants of my old rig that was grounded due to the Javelin SB. If it wasn't for that - I wouldn't have been in a Cesna yet!

Nice!

Can I have a beam and coke in lieu of a beer? ;)

Next time you should hang from your feet! (haven't tried it, but it looks pretty cool!)



I'll get you one in Rantoul!

Pretty scary, huh ? So what kinda altitude did you get ? Bet the ground looked pretty big from the door...

In our day, we walked three miles in our bare feet to jump outta Cessnas in a blizzard - and we liked it!!

the new rig wasn't planned - i just happen to find someone that was selling exactly what i was looking for after i found out my rig needed to be retired.....shortly after that happened, they pulled the cesna up and I asked the DZ manager if I could hop on it for a hop n pop with my new rig.....the rest is history :ph34r:

According to the Official Beer rules, you owe 1 case.



I disagree. I think he owes far more than that. He should be buying beer for every weekend he didn't jump a Cessna. How does anyone go 5 years and nearly 500 jumps without jumping a Cessna? That's just plain spoiled rotten and for that you owe lots and lots of beer. Perhaps I'll take mine at Summerfest.

Ok, first off - when SDC is your home DZ, you don't have a chance to jump a cesna very often. I was grounded by my doctor this past winter and couldn't do the cesna boogie either. Every time I went to a cesna DZ I was weathered out. I was beginning to think the skygods didn't want me in a small plane!

And second - just when were you going to tell us you were coming home for summerfest????

1 case for the Jump and 1 case for the rig.



Guess I thought I was an expert or something after that jump yesterday. Took my exams....

I am now D-26647 as of this morning!

I still don't know for sure if I am. But it looks like this on a scale:

Not coming

Maybe

Definite


I'll post something when I know.

In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
