ltdiver 3 #4 February 18, 2002 Ah...memories indeed. Looks exactly like the rig I was trained on! SOS and all. The only difference was that my canopy was a Goliath 378 !Now...calculating wing loading with that (never thought to figure this out before) would bring me to .46:1 ! No wonder I learned to just land in one spot and not have to walk it out on landings ;^).LMAO right now. Thanks for the memories!ltdiver__________________________________________http://www.discover.net/~ltdiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jabeln79 0 #14 February 19, 2002 yeah i have no idea why that pic came out so small bummer that was if you can see my first actually 2nd jump right after my first may 24 2001 THe new rigs are sooooo much nicer now, and they just had to wait until after i got my own gear to change, and the jump suits used to be mehcanic suites.

tomblin 0 #23 February 20, 2002 2nd Solo Jump, Nice picture, shows the canopy looking like it was just placed there, although you could tell I actually did the jump, I wasn't aware enough of my terrestrial surroundings to take the darn googles off for the pic.....
