Vallerina 2 #1 June 2, 2003 Ladies love the Skyvan! Hinckley will steal Crosskeys's Skyvan this weekend for me!!! Who else wants to play? PD will be out there with demo canopies and they'll be doin' some fun fun organizing. Also, there's a canopy control camp going on. For you weirdo people , they're doing some cooky looking hybrid organizing. EricaH and I will be fighting over the sweet spot all weekend long!

EricaH 0 #6 June 2, 2003 A plane is symetrical though; so each side has a sweet spot, right? - no fightin' goin on. I most def feel a cold comin on & will most likly be - ehhm - sick on Friday Only did 2 jumps this weekend to save $ & made the executive decision - since there's no one else to make them - to spend all $$ left on my credit card on this weekend. see you soon - YAHOO!!

Everything sucks because I have to sit at this stupid desk while other people get to call in sick and go have fun. Oh sure, I can go and have fun on Saturday, but I'll have to hear all about the good times I missed the previous day. Fine! Tomas, Erica, Andy...just go on Friday! Go and have fun without me! I'll drink you all under the table Saturday night to make up for it!

billvon 3,120 #12 June 2, 2003 >Ladies love the Skyvan! Only if you get the good seat . . . Seriously, I never understood people's aversion to the Skyvan. Many times at Rantoul I had a group veto the Skyvan because they didn't like it. The door is complicated. It's loud. It's ugly. I mean, come on! It's a fast tailgate.

wmw999 2,589 #18 June 2, 2003 QuoteThe door is complicated. It's loud. It's ugly Well, I'll choose an Otter over a Skyvan most of the time. I've never thought of the Skyvan door as complicated (just different) or the Skyvan as ugly. It's loud (which is made much better with ear plugs), and the gasoline smell has always been stronger in the Skyvan. But dang -- it's better than an Islander, and I'd jump an Islander too. Especially if he was really good-looking Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricaH 0 #19 June 2, 2003 I still have my breathalizer stick. I think there's more, but the 2nd one costs ya. I'll have to practice on friday to keep up w/ ya on Sat. - won't Sun just be great. I've never jumped an islander or an Islander... sounds fun, either way. Preferably on an island though. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

PhreeZone 20 #20 June 2, 2003 Its all the Drama at the door I actually had some jumpers at Perris question if I knew how to lock the door for take off. The sign is pretty clear... Lock ---- Unlock I know I don't see a Skyvan that often, but give me a little credit here. I doubt if a few of the Perris locals could open a 182 door and get on the strut Manifest did give me some strange looks when I asked "Where's the Cessna?"Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EricaH 0 #22 June 2, 2003 Please correct me if I'm wrong. But on the 182, don't you just turn the handle & the wind takes care of everything else once you push the door up? There is no can't.

indyz 1 #25 June 2, 2003 QuotePD will be out there with demo canopies and they'll be doin' some fun fun organizing. I'll be there for sure on Sunday, possibly on Saturday too. I was a little late getting my rig in for a repack, and I might not be able to pick it up until Saturday afternoon. If the weather is good both days, I'll probably get my 100th on Sunday. Edit to add: Anybody now if PD brings demo Lightnings? I wanna do some CRW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
