Deuce 1 #3 July 21, 2003 Josh? What are your pull procedures when shooting from below like that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gemini 0 #4 July 21, 2003 As you can tell from some of the pics, Josh was still shooting as we tracked away. On one of the jumps, I started my track looked down and flew over Josh who was in a sit looking up at me! We had plenty of clearance, but it was still a surprise! Great shots Josh. Thanks again for all the hard work. Josh is the only guy I know who can get muddy while in the Otter.... ;) Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhill 0 #5 July 21, 2003 It depends on the dive, their break off plan, if there are other video folks on the jump, how far below the formation I am, and the fall rate... My preference is to be slightly above formation level as the first wave goes away, letting them track past/below me but I will also go with being below (low enough that they can see me and will not run me over), working my way back in to the center... when the base breaks, I will go to my belly and dump... the biggest hazard is when folks don't flat track and dive at you.

Josh Well, since you have it on video you can use it at the debrief to suggest they work harder on their tracking skills.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

jdhill 0 #9 July 25, 2003 Quotesince you have it on video Unfortunately, here in Southeast Texas that is not always the case... lenses will sometimes fog up between 5 and 6K (and sometimes higher)... But it is talked about in the debrief, as are opening altitudes, not too high and not too low.
