Dutchboy 0 #1 March 6, 2001 I noticed that there are quite a few GA skydivers online here. I also noticed that the largest number are from Skydive Atlanta. There are also several from Skydive Monroe. The other two DZ's seem to be virtually unrepresented.If we get a few more maybe we can talk Mike & Dawn into having a dropzone.com corner in the hangar like the Atlanta Freeflight people.

So let's make our own.The Unofficial Dropzone.com Southeastern USA BoogieDate: March 24-25Place: Skydive Atlanta in Thomaston, GAAt a minimum we should have a twin otter to jump from (and a Cessna 182 if you prefer). I already have another batch of friends that are going to be there that weekend for first jumps. If you can't find me there just ask for Phil. All my gear is black and royal blue. I have a black Dolphin with royal blue logo and pop top. My jumpsuits are also black and royal blue.They have a bunkhouse and camping for those who are interested.This should be loads of fun.

Dutchboy 0 #8 March 7, 2001 Unless the weather completely sucks for the entire weekend I will definitely be there and will probably stay all weekend. I try to be there when my friends are doing a first jump and so far I have four of them doing so that weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The weather was aweful. Did they even get a single load in?Mike & Dawn were still out of the country and left Rachel in charge. I think they should be back before this weekend.I hear that Billy Weber is an awesome skydiver. I wonder if he's ever going to come out with a new version of Pack Like a Pro that includes things like psycho packing, and better techniques for dealing with ZP canopies.

jtval 0 #10 March 7, 2001 i sure fell lucky to have learned from billy he's definitely a good instuctor/skydiver and person. I still gotta find out what stuff he's got that is available for students/anyone who needs info.but i didnt actually drive to thomaston to jump. I'm still healing froma "frisbee accident" (sound horrible doesn't itmy dad lives in forsyth and while i was planning on checking out the dz,again, i figured i'd hang out with my dad for the weekend.he's cool enough to hang out with when im in town so i figured what the hell, well swing ove rot the dz.and even though the weather sucked ,BIG TIME,i couldn't have jumped anyway.but when im good enuff to jump i will be in thomaston when ever i get a chance. maybe i' catch ya's thereblue skiesjt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TripleF 0 #13 March 9, 2001 jtval,Naaw, it wasn't tomatoes... it was Vidalia onions, remember?? And no, I'm saving them to eat raw, for a special occasion, like when you come to Thomaston.... nothing like a good farting contest on the ride upstairs.Triple F Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
