Hunterbeav 0 #1 November 7, 2017 Hi everyone I'm back after over 10 years off....I hooked up with a great old friend (David) that I haven't talked to in years. He invited me out to my old home drop zone ( Cleveland Skydiving Parkman Ohio) several weeks ago to reminisce about old times. I told him I had been thinking about getting back in the sky. I meet up with several old friends from back in the day. When they heard my thoughts of getting back up. Marcie the drop zone manager called my original Instructor from 1992 MaryO. What a blast she came out did my recertification training and did two jumps. I will be buying some gear and start jumping in the spring. Can't wait to get back in the air with some great old friends.

RockSkyGirl 10 #2 November 7, 2017 Welcome back to the sky, Jim! Get in touch with Tim Long via the Skydiver Resurrection Award Facebook page. He created the SRA for those who are gone from the sport for 10 years or more; your SRA number is the total number of days between your last jump and your first jump after your return. Tim is based in Arizona but the SRA spans the entire country and local members meet up at boogies, PoPs and SoS events all over the U.S. They have their own wings awards for numbers of jumps made since resurrection; they have a special patch for SRA 8-way... really cool group. :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
