Night Jumps in Eloy

[Salamander 0]

The calendar of events shows a full moon on February 16th but no night jumps.

If enough people are looking to do the night jump would it be possible to persuade someone to send up a load? Does this happen? If yes, what would be required?

well, you would need notum at least 1 hour prior to the take off, i think.

and be able to perswade the pilot to fly

oh ya, call the dz, they'll tell ya

i can say though, if i was there, you wouldn't see me on the load, i hate night jumps. i just don't like the fact of possibly loosing my canopy if i had a cutaway. and the fact that i can't see anyone else under canopy.

well um, don't count on it . but i'll sit on the ground, and listen to either how cool it was, or how pissed someone is after they got in a wrap, and lost their shit

what it really comes down to, i still hook at night, i still can see pretty well if there is decent light, but i can't see the other canopy's that i may be cutting off. so i just choose not to do em any more. i have enough, like 10 or 15. that will do me good for a while.

It's really hard to persuade the pilot to wait and fly one load after dark, especially after he flew all day. None of our guys live very close to the dz.
