  3. That would be the AltiTrak. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  4. Check around for a used suit. Try posting a "wanted" ad in the classifieds. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  5. Mirage had a promotion going that is no longer in effect. Wings has an offer for active military. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  6. I'm good with 6 months, but I think 12 months is a bit too much. T hat's an entire cycle of changing weather conditions and in some cases a lot fo wear and tear on the gear. Our DZ is very moist in the winter and very dry in the summer. We jump all year long. I have no factual data to back it up, but I personally want my rig re-packed at least twice a year to air it out and clean the housings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  7. I have about 1,000 jumps on Sabre1s. I have no neck problems and no unreasonablly hard openings. Find out the history of that specific canopy. Don't trash pack it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

  9. That's about right. Some places pay $6 per pack. Most are still $5. Where in California? Nor Cal? So Cal? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  10. Get a suit that can be used for both. no booties. and a little bit baggy Gravity Gear!
  11. Weather forecast, smeather forecast. It was forcasted for thunder storms today, and we still managed to get 6 loads up. Come on over tomorrow Skydance! We'll heat up the bar-b-que. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  12. Unless you are a really heavy jumper, you'll need an RW suit to stay relative with other jumpers. You might be able to find a used one. What is your height and weight. You can PM me if you don't want that public. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  13. Very cool web site by the way! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  14. I'll scan the photos today. They are not great quality, but maybe someone will recognize the LZ. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  15. Eric. You'll have no problem finding people to jump with. So far I know that Alana, Anita, Iwan and some others are going. I'll try to get a real head count. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  16. Rock on! Sounds like a party. Blake you better have some good Mexican Beer and those little spicy carrots! If not, tell me. I'll bring the carrots. Mmmmmmm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  17. 9 in +/-2500 jumps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  18. Blake! Prepare to be invaded by the Byron Crew. There are quite a few of us coming down. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  19. The sign in the picture says, New England Air Park. One of the photos, I can make out a jumper coming down under a round. And one with two out and everyone running toward them. The photos were taken in April 1966. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  20. Hey G. Our store carries several styles of perscription goggles. From inexpensive to quite expensive. If the goggle is too cheap, the foam and the frame wear out quickly. THen you have your expensive scrip lense in there. I have had good success so far with the SG-1 by Wiley X. Skii Goggles are not low profile enough. They'll fly right off your face and bye-bye goggles. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  21. You are not pushing your luck, you are being careless. If/when the harness fails it could be catastrophic. It is possible to retrofit a Tandem Harness Container system to suit your needs. It may be an inexpensive alternative to new custom gear. Feel free to PM me any time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  22. With 1000 jumps it's less likely that it's a hard opener. But ask who the sellers rigger is and call the rigger to find out if there are any know issues with this particular canopy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  23. Pretty sure they landed there on the airport. May have been closer to MA. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  24. Are there any old timers out there who ever jumped in New Hampshire about 40 years ago? I was looking through some old family photos and my Dad used to own an airport there. The sign in the photo says, "Skydiving" and there is a photo of a reserve ride taking place. The jump pilot was named George Turner. Anyone know anything about this DZ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  25. Black fades faster than white. (But Neon Pink fades even faster). Black is hard to see. (But that Neon Pink will help with that). What does your rig look like? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
