Jasmin 0 #1 October 10, 2002 As some of you may remember I went off to Europe and happened to be in France for Bastille Day.... Thankyou to my American Defence Personnel friends for reminding me that I should be after "a nice AmericanGI".... Y'anyways here's two pics to reassure you that I did behave myself, and only asociated myself with company befitting the lady that I am.... On another tangent: Congratulations to everyone who competed in the State Championships last Weekend. Special Mention must go to Nagambie X for driving all the way up (+14 hours?!) to compete, it was awesome to have you guys here....xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

I'll take an Aeroflot attendant anyday over a certain blonde-haired, blue-eyed member of the french 4-way team.....but that's another story entirely!! xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

No, no. Those are French Army personnel. You just didn't recognize them with their arms down. I don't want anyone to think that I like the French, but in fairness, the French disasters in WWII and Indo-China were not due to the quality of the troops, but due to the ineptness of their politicians and generals. I believe that American GIs are very happy to have French soldiers fight alongside them (but they'd prefer Brits). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest #13 October 10, 2002 Here's a photo along the same lines. You may see this pic in Skydiving Magazine next month, along with my "Le Grand Saut" feature. mh "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasmin 0 #14 October 10, 2002 I know another jumper that works for Sun Micro. (Vanges) We've canned our subscription to skydiving: too much BASE and advertising with not enough skydiving content! I've been there done that, but BASE ain't skydiving...What was he like?xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

Guest #15 October 10, 2002 I don't work for Sun - I got it off eBay - it was the only clean shirt I had at the time. I work for Boeing (if I don't get a layoff notice at the end of this month! ). Fournier was tres kewl. Only speaks French, but very, very charming with lots of charisma. "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

chachi 0 #17 October 10, 2002 Fournier seems like a really nice guy, although everything he says is through a translator. I actually did a skydive with him when I was home in Saskatchewan about a week before he was supposed to do his jump. We are at this small dropzone and this guy shows up with a camera crew and such and me and 2 buddies go up in a Cessana with him and do a 4 way. It was really neat. ~45 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
