craichead 0 #1 February 24, 2003 Hello all! Just thought I'd post a few pics from my time in the tunnel. It totally kicked ass!!! I wish I could live in there and be a tunnel rat. -P__ "Scared of love, love and aeroplanes...falling out, I said takes no brains." -- Andy Partridge (XTC) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riddler 0 #3 February 24, 2003 I love wind tunnels. Even the so-called "crappy" ones are pretty awesome. http://www.philbell.com/adventures/vegas/vegas.htmlTrapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, yeah...I know you want to draw me over to the dark side of freeflying, but give me a break -- I haven't even finished AFF, yet! -P__ "Scared of love, love and aeroplanes...falling out, I said takes no brains." -- Andy Partridge (XTC) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've logged 1000+ jumps (mostly RW) and still have yet to use booties. Could you let me in on exactly what I am missing?? Smiles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #7 February 25, 2003 QuoteCould you let me in on exactly what I am missing?? The ability to track like a banshee on crack with its ass on fire, for one. The ablity to crank centerpoint turns so fast it'll scary you, for the other...they're just handy to have.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

smiles 0 #12 February 25, 2003 ahh- explain if you will- how on large formations with Roger Ponce, (for example) you see on every load he has the ability to track like a banshee on crack with its ass on fire (in his bare feet, no booties) not only trackin farther, faster.....but also opening highest???

smiles 0 #13 February 25, 2003 hey, congrats craichead- you must be extatic!! thanx for the pics, I've never been in a wind tunnel. You sure will use that experience now on your AFF! Smiles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I wore one of the whuffo tourist suits cos I don't have my own, yet! Also, my JMs figure I should learn how to fall stable and make controlled turns before I put booties on. I'm only on AFF Level 3! -P__ "Scared of love, love and aeroplanes...falling out, I said takes no brains." -- Andy Partridge (XTC) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
