MagicLou 0 #1 July 7, 2003 Well, it took 19 jumps (one of them 10 years ago), but I finally completed my solo today. My first high altitude jump was from 12.5k on the last load of the day, with the sun setting over Georgian Bay. WOW. Now onto my regularly scheduled A license.Lou ___________________________________ . . . now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb - Dark Helmet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
