geofsmth 0 #2 January 4, 2009 15 of us made it out for New Years Day jump at Rochester Skydivers in Rochester NY (upstate). This is an annual thing for us. We put up 8 or 9 loads. I made 3. We jump all winter !! We had the same temps. We had 11" of fresh powder on the ground. Made for nice swooping. Air traffic controllers thought we were crazier than usual.

pilotdave 0 #5 January 4, 2009 Yup. Chilly and breezy in CT, but we had fun. I also made 2 jumps but only from 4k. I like winter jumping, but not THAT much. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airdvr 210 #7 January 4, 2009 I promised myself I would never do that again. 1/1/86...Beech 18 to 12.5 without a fully closable door. Just a homemade sheet of plywood which left a gap of about 10 inches at the top. -11 in the plane at altitude.Please don't dent the planet.

gearless_chris 1 #11 January 5, 2009 We had two loads that were willing to go, but the pilot/DZO wasn't up for it, a wee bit hungover I'm guessing. His official excuse was the wind forecast was for 20+ MPH winds, and it was too cold. Our 182 doesn't have the corner piece of the door put back in the frame, so there's a big hole."If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
