Tailgate 0 #1 November 16, 2003 My brother and I finished our AFF yesterday. It was cloudy and a little chilly but still a great day. Attaching pics that my wife-o took. One of my landing and the other of the Riffe brothers before we went up ( I am the one on the left) and one of me getting back to the hangar. Here are a few more pics-clicky I am so stoked I can hardly stand it.

Raefordite 0 #10 November 16, 2003 Congrats to you and your brother! They do a good safe job at Chester with their students. Now you know exactly what to buy your brother for Christmas - - Jump Tickets (and maybe a turtle neck to help with the winter weather). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tailgate 0 #11 November 16, 2003 Thanks, I would tell you what we're getting him for Christmas, but he lurks in the forums. ( Sorry Tom) When I get my A I plan on coming over and seeing you folks at Raeford. My boss jumped over there for a while and says it's great. I noticed the only time I felt the cold was on the way to altitude, once I was out the door it was all "warm and fuzzy" with an adrenaline kick. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdgregory 0 #24 December 13, 2003 You are so lucky that your brother is into it too. My Brother hates to fly and no matter how hard I work him he just will not jump. I would give anything to get him the do this. Hell I'd give anything to get my wife up there too. Sucks being the only skydiver in the family. Congrats to you both. Happy jumping!
