Did a bridge get built that shortens the ride back from the beach?? Just wondering. It was a very looong ride back. Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

Clicky I grew up in Ras Tanura. Not much in the way of things to do, but we Aramco Brats still get together! Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

My prediction is that most people will not go to another boogie unless it is close, and the numbers will not be large. Sure, people south and southwest may go to SkyFest, people in the Chicago area may go to SummerFest, people in the mideast may go to Richmond-The Boogie, people in the east may go to a Ranch or Cross Keys event, people in the northwest may go to Lost Prairie, people in the west may go to Perris Valley to jump the jet if they have never done so, but... Not in huge numbers. Mainly people will stick close to home (since many of their local DZ's have turbine aircraft anyway.) It has already started, DZ's are planning "local" boogies around that time. What are gas prices going to be this summer? (rhetorical question) My personal preference is that I have to DRIVE my ass off to get to a boogie to make it worthwhile. That's why I do Eloy most years at 1100 one way. Couch Freaks is another "easy" drive for me. I want to do Lost Prairie, but my SO can't get off during that time. That one is pretty tough at 1600 one way. Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

OK, so WFFC is toast this year. If that was your only boogie plan what's the alternative? If sumping else, tell us. Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

Yeah, we had some jumpers who loved to occasionally break their necks moto crossing. The track was near the dropzone we had in Decatur, TX. We'd fly a load over there and jump in sometimes. Like we also did at the nearby nudist camp. (DFW RETREAT was a nudist camp as was Blue Bonnet) Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

I didn't know there were standards, but upon googling the question, "what does breezy mean forecast" I got an ANSWER I can sleep better now. Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

The one it replaced said JUMPNG. Texas only allows six letters/numbers on a plate. Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

We were home on a "long leave" from Saudi Arabia. I was eight, and we were watching TV at Grandpa's house. Something like "Wide World of Sports" or another was showing Bell helmeted, belly warted B-4 container outfitted "men" passing a baton. I swore I would do it some day. Twenty years later I did. Bell helmeted, belly warted and all. The year was 1958, I think. Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

I stand corrected. I was there in 2000 for the boogie. My first jump at FB was in 1995. Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

What kind of software image viewer must be used to display a "kmz" file? Google Earth. Pay the twenty bucks for a year. Well worth it John. You can overlay your GPS tracks on images. I know you have some. Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

Tracks in 3D Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

This is Spaceland in TX with 3D tracks from my jump there April 6. Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

OK, Google Earth GuRus... I've been saving my file with the tracks, but when I upload it here the tracks vanish. Anyone??? Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

Yes. Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

From a couple of jumps at Spaceland yesterday. Tracking about 1.2 miles W to E at the top. The airplane track is in there also. A retired pilot chute was used to make a mesh pocket on the sleeve of my jumpsuit. A signal was maintained most of the time inside the plane by keeping the unit next to the window up front.

bump. Nice shot. Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

I'm sure a Grand Caravan will be better than the ole slow OTT that was flying us in '99.

Huh? Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com
