steve1 5 #1 March 4, 2003 Just got home from Eloy. What a great place to Jump! The weather was kind of crappy, but we still got in lot's of jumps. The first day we were going to 16,000 for $16.50. I made four or five jumps with Mike Mcgowan flying camera. It was really cool to see many of the big names in skydiving, and to actually be able to BS with them. Dan Brodsky went out of his way to show us the correct way to pull a four way out of a Porter (in our dirt dive). He's coaching a Swiss National team this year. Neil Houston even jumped with us on one load, and then went out of his way to shake our hands and thank us for the jump. I don't think he knew I am a mere 500 jump dip stick. On the last day we went over to Coolage. We just had time to get our gear on and fill out the paper work before getting on the King Air. I would have liked to have spent more time at Coolage. It's out in the middle of the desert, with a down home atmosphere, and loads of experienced jumpers. If you've never jumped in Arizona, you've got to go!..............What a blast!............Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
