    My experience with L&B has been great as well. They are all about the customer service, and built a GREAT device.

    Hi PB and welcome! I recommend that if you KNOW you want to be a skydiver that you jump right into AFF training (no pun intended). Our sport is one incredible experience after another, but it can get expensive. Save the potential extra cost of a first tandem and put it toward another AFF jump. Because skydiving is rather weather-dependent, it can get time intensive as well. Use the time you would spend on a first tandem on making another AFF jump on your first day! Arrive Safely John

    I would call the FBO you plan to have her use for her intro flight first, though. My introductory flight was only $20. That was North Carolina 5 years ago, but nevertheless . . . Arrive Safely John

    I have about 30 jumps on my Sabre2 190. I have great landings with it, but I get a smidge too deep in some of my swoops - not scary-bounce-off-the-ground deep, but not what I am used to. I have the toggles at the factory setting, and have plenty of "bow" in my upper control lines at full flight (no bucking in front risers either). My experience is telling me I need to take my toggles up a bit. Others that jump the Sabre2 say they are using the factory setting. What is the consensus here? Are y'all using the factory setting on your Sabre2?? Arrive Safely John

    3(Days spent visiting my parents and friends):0:0 They're only four hours away, and are in their seventies. We visit them as often as we can. We hiked up to three sets of waterfalls in the DuPont State Forest. Theay have had so much rain out there that the rivers were overflowing. That made the waterfalls BEAUTIFUL! With all the stuff going on in the world, in my mind, and in my heart, it was good to get out in nature and "reboot" my perspective. Arrive Safely John

    The listing for Raeford Parachute Center is correct. Of course, the husband and wife team that are DZOs are both DZ.com members (TonyT and Raefordite), which helps with the accuracy!

    As a rule, I don't feed dogs people food, even mine. I second the request not to feed our "DZ Dogs" people food. Pleez?!?! Arrive Safely John

    What a hoot! He's a great pooch . . . always greets me with his toy to play when I walk into SkyKat. As for my dogs, one of them does not like exercise at all, and the other chases squirrels in her dreams, muffled barking and all. She's funny to watch. Arrive Safely John

    I am married with two children, so most of my time when I am not working, travelling, or skydiving is spent with my family. Currently on the weekends I am dividing my time between Church, soccer x 2, and working at the dropzone. Arrive Safely John
