Stacy 0 #1 July 3, 2001 Welll, it was a 4 case day!! Went down to Wildwood for beach jumps, early winds were not comfortable for me, esp landing in an area that was between 2 piers (potential for additional turbulence....). Jumped on the 2nd and 3rd passes though. SOmeone called me on my first beach jump. ALso it was set up as a demonstration so I was caught for my 1st demo as well.Second jump of the day was my 300th jump. Owe one for that too.Some people joke with me about my canopy flying from my student days, the name "Hellen Keller School of Canopy Flight" has been used at times... I joked with someone that if I landed in the X on our target area on the beach I'd buy beer. Guess where I ended up?argh. a good day though. =c)Stacyhttp://astro.temple.edu/~sweeks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PalmettoTiger 1 #2 July 3, 2001 Congrats on the beer!! Seriously, the beach trip sounds awesome. I was grounded at a wedding at the beach this weekend, and whenever I stepped outside all I could think about was eventually swooping into my own wedding on the beach. r0X0r!! QuoteSome people joke with me about my canopy flying from my student days, the name "Hellen Keller School of Canopy Flight" has been used at times... Ouch!! I've always heard "Hellen Keller" in conjunction with spotting. Maybe you could call it the "Amelia Earhart School of Aerial Navigation" instead...?Blues, Squares,PTiger*insert sub-100 character sig here* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stacy 0 #6 July 4, 2001 I think you have mentioned that... but we did have to take a bus to the beach for the demo... how inconvenient! just kidding. it was an excellent time. winds today (tuesday) shifted from yesterday, causing our base leg to be along a ferris wheel pier and final along bleachers towards a roller coaster pier. kinda like skydiving claustrophobia, although the landing area was quite large. no outs anywhere though!!!Stacyhttp://astro.temple.edu/~sweeks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
