One of our skydiving students is an experienced surgeon but like she says there isn't much you can do on the ground. Medical Air Rescue Service for a flying ambulance takes about +3 hours to Jo'burg and cover will cost US$25. Rob-By Check it out at http://www.skydive.co.zw Clicky!

I want to own Them.*** Well you're in luck. The Peoples Socialist Democratic Republic of Zimbabwe happens to have a few KAP-3's lying around. Think we got them about the same time the red star arrived on our flag. We've since moved on to Cypres, Vigil and square parachutes. I can even throw in a few MarkXX's if you like?

Enough cockringing around or they're gonna make me move this forum again. Seems a lotta concern on how a dude is casavacced but we are more into prevention. For the record we have insurance cover available and Medical Air Rescue Service based in Victoria Falls. MARS don't have to apply for Flight Plans 24 hours in advance when it is for medical emergency. Since the Skydive Festival comes under Defence approval, they already know what we're up to. So we don't have to sit on the tarmac for 6 hours like that poor bloke from Cape Town. The Air Force is considering sending us down one of their Bell helicopters, so if you bury yourself properly you might get a flight in that. Rob-By Check it out at http://www.skydive.co.zw Clicky!

I like the full day grounding warning. I might set up a seperate swoop area and restrict access. Since it's a big dropzone the world champions can hold their own splat competition. The rest of the crew stick to the rules. The report back to manifest rule is especially important since the big kittys are scared of the crocodiles who are scared of the hippos who are scared of the elephants. I have just been to a boogie on a Mozambiquan island where on the return from the dropzone we picked up a chick who had been wandering in the sand dunes for the last three loads. Nobody noticed she was missing and that place was surrounded by shark infested waters. I was pointing out bull sharks cruising the shallows to my pax as we were coming in on finals.

Make the swoop area outside the fence...where the big kitties live. We will let them know that the golf course water hazards are home to Nile Crocodiles... Rob-By Check it out at http://www.skydive.co.zw Clicky!

So everybody likes to see a good swoop, a nice carve and a long surf. But when the boys and girls start to imitate the master blasters how do you explain to them that its not such a hot idea - since you're in Central Africa and the nearest broken skydiver shop is a 1000 clicks away. Its a multi-national crowd joining us for 7 days in April. Its going to be warm at a high dropzone (3000 AMSL) which means the air density is more like 5000 feet. The Russians are going to be watching the French watching the South Africans and before you know it they're going to be ripping those turns. Then somebody is going to get tatty, more than likely the 300 jump evil-knevil trying to make out on his 135. So how do you try keep it safe? Rob-By Check it out at http://www.skydive.co.zw Clicky!
