    Never heard of having to have you membership card to jump. Normally just filling in the form at the DZ is enough. Pen pushers. ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it!

    Personally, I dont think the landing area at Empuria is that great for students. Talking from past experience. Don't get me wrong, it isnt too bad. I know others share my view........ ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it!

    I had a ride in a c185 wit ha door which kinda flipped up under the wing. 2 static line studnts were being dispatched from 3000ft and the remaining 3 of us were going up to altitude. When the last SL exited, the pilot started shoutin some shit and the stall warning came on. The plane began shaking very violently and tilted from side to side very steeply. The pilot turned round to me with a look of total horror and disgust on his face. Next thing we had lost 1000ft in waht seemed like half a second, the pilot still shouting "f!ck me F!ck me". Lets just say he managed to gain control and we bailed! Still dont know exactly what happened but merely the sight of a Cessna turns my trousers brown! So why do I still jump them....hmmm................? I still have nightmares to this day........ ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it!

    Yeah, looks like an old Gath to me...same as mine. About as much use as a chocolate fire guard when it comes to head protection. Comfortable though.. ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it!
