riggerrob 643 #8 June 29, 2005 Last week one of my tandem students wore swim goggles. Try to picture a large hairy, white man wearing a gold lame' bikini, flailing around the sky, 3 cameras, etc. swim goggles were the least of our worries. Oh, and they broadcast his post-landing comments on CFOX AM radio during the Friday morning rush hour! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
