bivar 0 #1 May 27, 2003 This is what we're going to jump from this weekend. The Royal Norwegian Airforce will make two Bell 412 SP helicopters avaliable for us ALL weekend. 20$ per jump is not too bad either. This is going to be a GREAT weekend. ---------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(then again.. not evety 412 pilot is Rod, so..... hmm.. i though i had a point *shrug*) just remember not to hide from the pilot to get good ground video, 'eh? Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #9 May 28, 2003 Quotethen again.. not evety 412 pilot is Rod, so..... hmm. Yeah.....most people really go for the ride in Rod's chopper. So...I kinda threw that out. I was just thinking about how fast they climb. That Alouette climbs FAST! However, those ARE military pilots. So who knows...you might get the good ride too.

I think you were out there the day it was only $17 because we only had one caravan (all other planes were loaned out) so John decided to help us out getting in the air by taking regular jump tickets for the chopper.

Ahhhh...didn't realize that was a "special." $25 is still a good deal though no doubt! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
