Yeah a King Air exit is not exactly the largest in the world. In fact it would be nice to get hold of the photo from Packer Jason's camera of us by the mockup. That jump was a lot of fun even if they did make us buy beer for it.
-
Yeah I'm yummy!!! Actually I am planning on attending the Holiday boogie.

I came in second in the amateur category during a tracking competition. I definately cover good ground in my BirdMan suit.
-
Thanks Lou, I'm pretty sure there are some taller skydivers out there. I just haven't met one.
-
I deserved that. Vanity thy name is skydiver!
-
OK just so everybody doesn't think I actually look like Jaws from the James Bond movies.

I'll definately be coming to Lodi again. But not this weekend. Can't bare to stray from my home DZ in Byron for too long. I hear you have some big ways going up in a couple of weekends. I might try to make it up for that. We'll get some jumps in soon for sure though.
-
Oh! Well in that case you better stay out of my Pantz.
-
How bout the bride of Frankenstein?
-
Aww shucks. If you insist
-
Oh come on! Let's do a naked BirdMan jump. It'll be fun!!!
-
Woohoo!!!
-
Damn! Oh well better luck next time I guess.
-
Jumps shmumps! Just strap on a couple tarps and lets go!

It's good to see a whore with a purpose. Or was that a whore with a porpoise? Ahh, I suppose either will do in a pinch.

Hey VanillaSkyGirl, Sorry you weren't up to playing with us on Sunday. WIth the wind you didn't miss out on too much though. Hey did you say you had a BirdMan suit. I'd love to get a shot of us side by side in them?
-
Awww Mannnn. They'll let anyone post on this website. Errr I supose that's a good thing for me.
-
Like I said above. I wasn't able to get hold of anyone with a digital camera last weekend. It'll have to wait till I meet up with Deuce this coming weekend. Sorry.
-
Did I break the door? Gee I remember trying to fix it unsuccessfully but that's it. Good thing there were some folks more nimble than myself that day to get the job done or we wouldn't have gotten to play. I'm sure I'd remember you with a bit more information. But there are just so many dorks in Alabama you guys just blend together. Just kidding guys. If any state had a corner on the market. I'd probably be forced to move there. Absolutely!! But FYI My new suit makes the one you saw me in look normal.
-
Nah that wouldn't match the rest of my gear. The body is blue except for between the zippers where it's black. The wings are entirely metalic silver which really only matches my hardware but it just looks so cool that I couldn't resist.

Thanks Deuce. Looks like I'm gonna need it. Tim from Lodi got some video of me trying to fly with someone in Pantz (didn't get a copy). Unfortunately nobody seemed to have a digital camera ready this weekend so no photos yet. Sorry. It was exhausting trying to keep those massive wings positioned to catch the most air. Towards the end of the day my arms were so spent that I had to just let them collapse. Looks like I'm going to have to work out just to keep up with my suit. On a positive note I was averaging a 57 mph fall rate on the first jump of the day and kick ass forward speed. I have high hopes of being able to do much better in the near future. As for being a ride for my fellow skydivers. That's hardly a novel experience. But I'm sure they'll appreciate the extra hang time.

6'9" I actually trained on the S3 as my first suit while in Rantoul. Didn't see much of a point to downgrading. I know what you mean about taking turns flying. I had a hell of a time once I started trying to get more lift out of it. For starters I'll be taking it real easy.
-
I had it delivered at work and don't have a camera. I'll see if I can get a pic tonight. Tried to talk Kim into trying it on for size and taking a photo before they sent it out to me but for some reason she didn't think it would fit right.
