huffermoose 0 #1 April 15, 2001 Right just a big high to anyone from langar, yep allan here have just completed my aff and consols and just want to say thanks to all down there i had a blinding time (steve i'm sure you'll manage to learn how to do sambucas without getting third degree burns) the only mishap was me disapearing off with a right huffer moose (hence the name) on the wednesday night, i didn't half get some ribbing for that!But alas i am once again stuck on an oil platform 40 miles off the coast of west africa looking at blue skies and am once again anxious to get up there again. i'll be over there hopefully in 4 / 5 weeks time, anyone who knows me drop me a line cheersAllan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gus 1 #2 April 15, 2001 Hey Allan,I have a feeling we met last time you were back on dry land. Big congrats on getting your 'A', grab me next time you're about and we'll jump together if you like.Don't they have helicopters on these oil platforms? They must be big enough to land your parachute on, worst case scenario the scuba guys can fish you out of the water!Gus(you should be able to see my picture by clicking on my name) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huffermoose 0 #3 April 15, 2001 gday gus the photo's a bit vague so am not sure but hey no worries if your free lets carve up the skies for a while, as for the helo's on the rigs they are old belle 34's i think they are called? a bit like the hueys (the flying and not the puking kind) and it's a miracle they fly at all let alone get up to a height above 1000 ft, but will be back in 4 weeks time (roughly) so i'll drop you a lineCheers Allan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #11 April 21, 2001 QuoteBut does anyone know what "Double Coyote Ugly" is?I know! I know!A "Double Coyote Ugly" is a woman with no arms and a world-class hangover, walking around going "What the hell was I thinking shagging anything as horrendous as that PalmettoTiger???"waaahahahahaha/s[drop till you party!]PS just got back from Langar 20 minutes ago, made 4 jumps, 3 were coach jumps with Rusty, had a freakin' great time (passed Warps 1, 2 and 3 Mr. Sulu). That CD shuttle in the Caravan rocks, every ride to altitude is a total party!PPS I'll be walking the London marathon in the morning, so goodnight and I'll *see* you guys tomorrow evening.

huffermoose 0 #12 April 21, 2001 you lucky sod! i am stuck on a platform 40 miles off the african coast looking at blue skies and a 5 knot wind, there is not a cessna or any plane (except 30,000 ft above my head) nearby and i have another 3 weeks of this torture. mind you i get to jump for a solid 4 weeks when i get back home woooohoooo.yeh the CD system in the caravan is cool i did my first 6 AFF jumps in a visiting dornier which went woosh up to 14,000 ft in about 12 minutes (quite exciting) and the rest where done out of the porter and the caravan my 3rd consol jump was a sunset jump up to 15,000 ft with the melodies of "don't worry be happy" going on in the background a very enjoyable jump i must admit.seeya Allan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
