SkymonkeyONE 4 #26 September 17, 2002 All I have to say is: six guys on target. I landed last with the american flag and the crowd went NUTS! They all started chanting "USA, USA, USA". Weather for the practice drop at 3pm was a tad on the "wet" side, but we did it anyway. At jump time, there was still some residual rain on the ground, but the skies had cleared. Winds were 7 knots and variable at jump altitude (2,500 feet, all the clearance we could get), 4 knots at the lip of the stadium, and dead calm in the bowl. The first man hit the ground at the exact start of the National Anthem and I came into view (into the lip) right near the end and touched down right dead on the indian head emblem at center field. NOICE! These guys really treated us right. Six $800 tickets in the front row, ten tickets in the upper suite of the club level (VERY nice in there), and field passes. Our dirt guys stored the box and target in the cheerleaders dressing room between drops and were therefore forced to go in there and fetch the stuff about a half hour before the game. Naked chearleaders everywhere.....lovely. Anyway, too bad they didn't televise it; it was a perfect show. Also too bad I was too busy boozing it up at the game to see Micheles gig. Oh well, I am sure it will get played again. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #27 September 17, 2002 Cool...Glad you got to do it. Did you have anything to do with all the cheerleaders running onto the field before the punt in the 3rd quarter? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shark 0 #28 September 17, 2002 Yo Chuckie, You wore your dz.com t-shirt, right?? And did you guys start the fight that prompted the pepper spray? I was looking for the skymonkeys when they announced that something was sprayed onto the sideline... Anyway, it's nice to know that you guys were the highlight of the game!

SkymonkeyONE 4 #30 September 17, 2002 Nah Mark, we were wearing our flight suits after the jump. That made us easily recognizable targets to the hordes of people in the club suites who kept buying us free beer. We did jump in our team jumpsuits with Redskins jerseys over the top (which we of course got to keep). Chuckie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rgoper 0 #31 September 17, 2002 Chuck: all i can say is we got "ripped off" i can't believe they didn't air that. Glad it went well for you!--Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #32 September 17, 2002 OH YEAH! The pepper spray incident was VERY funny. I watched the whole thing. Cop number one tries to break up fight; cop number one is having a hard time; cop number two comes to help and maces the offenders. Mace gets sucked into the swamp cooler and sprays everyone sitting on the bench! It was beautiful watching them scatter. Yes, the game was a route. The one long run-back that the Redskins scored on was good though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
