ladyskydiver 0 #27 June 5, 2003 QuoteCora, I'm right there with you. I just applied for my C last week, and I'm looking to finish the D at the American Boogie and get those damn night jumps out of the way. They say it's a fully lit landing area. We might not embarrass ourselves TOO badly with our landings! C'mon, sign up for them with me! Congrats on your C. Sure....I'll sign up for them with you. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #30 June 5, 2003 QuoteSure....I'll sign up for them with you. Woohoo! Is JP still organizing the jumps? Make sure he gets us on the loads! I want to get them both over with. Forgot to add congrats for you...I was too excited about someone else needing the night jumps too. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunshine 2 #32 June 5, 2003 QuoteAnd...umm...yeah....I'll do the night jumps at the American Boogie for my D requirement, but I'm going to need someone to hold my hand going to alti as night jumps scare me. (I know...I know...I just may end up loving them, but as of right now they scare me You'll do fine. I was terrified of doing mine last year, but if i can do, anyone can do it. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

ladyskydiver 0 #33 June 5, 2003 I'm sure one of the JP's is organizing night jumps. We'll make sure we are on the loads. I'd like to get them over with as well. And, I'm glad you need them to. Makes me feel better knowing someone who hasn't done them, yet, will be on the load with me. Thanks! Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

ladyskydiver 0 #35 June 5, 2003 QuoteYou'll do fine. I was terrified of doing mine last year, but if i can do, anyone can do it. Thanks, Sunshine. I don't have the most perfect night vision, and I guess it's the whole thing of will I be able to see the DZ? What if something happens to my canopy? What if I end up with an off DZ landing for some reason? Stuff like that. And, I know they are going to light up the landing area, but.... It's the unknown element of it. I'm sure I'll be fine once I'm out of the door. It's just getting out of the door. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

I don't even have one.... I actually don't care about the number. It's just so nice to know that I've met those required skill sets and to know that I've jumped out of an airplane 113 times.

skymama 37 #38 June 5, 2003 We have to do a RW jump for one of them, right? I've got Chopchop lined up for a 4-way with you, me and JP if you want to.

wmw999 2,583 #41 June 5, 2003 Congratulations! I love night jumps, but at the moment I'd probably take my old (big, ponderous) main out on one instead of my new (smaller, swoopier) main out. 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.

Deuce 1 #46 June 5, 2003 Hey whoa! Don't bail on me! If you just launch a 4 way round I'm gonna be hassling you with my flash the whole time! from outside! While you guys are nervously riding up to do your first solo, the D-license holders are going to set the DZ.night hybrid record! We OWN the night! Everything we do is the night record until the next DZ.invasion somewhere they're doing night jumps! Heck, they might even get the Van going if the demand is high enough Night raft jumps? NAKED night raft jumps? Seriously consider getting a stobe to gaffer-tape to your helmet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faber 0 #47 June 5, 2003 first of all congrat Quotethey weren't "night jumps." My last jump was about 45 minutes before sunset. Does i understand this correct?45min to sunset,then 30min in twiligthzone,if the sky then is clear its still ligth at that time.. how could that be defined as a nigth jump?sorry if im wrong here(if so i didnt understand it correct),but as i understanded it you made a nigth jump 1hour 15 min before nigth...or were it 15 min before twiligthzone in the morning? EDIT:by the way who am i to blame,the only nogth jumps i have are BASEbut im not sure if they count.... Stay safe Stefan Faber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #48 June 5, 2003 None of this fancy stuff for me, Deuce, I'm petrified. I just wanna do my 2 requirements for my D, land safely if possible, and get my free beer!

ladyskydiver 0 #49 June 5, 2003 Hey, Deuce! I'm not bailing on you, hon. LOL As for naked night jumps - I'll bring a bikini and wear that, but naked...ummm....no thank you. I wouldn't want my body seen at 120mph. Gaffer tape? ummm....k....I still need to pick up all the stuff that I'll need for the night jumps so I'll add that to the list.Life is short! Break the rules!

ladyskydiver 0 #50 June 5, 2003 Thanks, Faber! I'm sorry. I didn't explain myself the best. My jumps yesterday were "early evening," and I was on the ground after my last jump about 45 minutes before sunset (approx. 7:45pm). They still had one more load able to go up for the sunset load. I just didn't do the sunset load as I had had a hard opening and my body was a little unhappy about that. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!
