hmm my guess is 1121. Its ok the weather here in lansing, MI sucks as well, so it looks like about 3 weeks of no jumping for me. Can't wait to get back on the 18th.

Hmm that would be a great thing to do if the pilot was just some random joe. But it was the DZO and he can be a total jerk, so definetly not approachable.

Sorry forgot to mention that it was one of our pilots looking for a Tandem main that was chopped a few hours before that. And the pilot was just over the trees by maybe 100 feet or so. This was not a take off or landing and is definetly NOT SOP at our dropzone and nobody was informed of this either.

So just another question for everyone out there in Dz.com land. Had a jump today went well opened up found my dropzone. Winds were a little high but a good spot so I could hold and make it with no problems. But after looking around to find other jumpers/hazards I noticed a small plane holding in a pattern just above the trees very close to our DZ and in some parts of its patterns it actually did fly over the DZ. So I kept my eye on during my approach/landing pattern just to make sure that it stayed the hell away from me. I landed fine (plane was on the far end of its holding pattern away from the DZ). Though this aircraft did come very close maybe 100 meter to a couple of other jumpers which scared the shit out of them and me. Seems some people did not see the plane until they landed or were almost down (scary thought). Anyway a friend and I were trying to get a tail number and once we got a close look, we much to our surprise realized that it was our DZ's cessna. WTF I can't really talk about the others on the Dropzone but this scared the shit out of me. After reading some of the incident threads about collisions with aircraft and jumpers, this was the only thing going through my mind as I was landing. So basically I just want peoples opinions (great place for it) You know the typical what do you think, would you have said anything, what would you have done differently. Just so you know landing off was not my main choice since we were doing a special jump. High winds up top making it much more difficult to pick a good allternet in the area it would have blown us.... Plus the plane was there as well.

A red white and blue theme was mentioned so if you have these color shirts please bring them if you want to jump. Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend. P.S. Today is my last Full day as a US MARINE......

We showed up at this DZ and were welcomed with open arms. They had the best vibe of any DZ that I have been to. If you want to have some awesome/fun jumps this is the place. If you like the social environment this is the place. This dropzone is a must visit whether you live in florida or are just traveling through. I would give them a 10 out of 5 if I could.

Ok only because someone brough it up in the D thread and I did not want to hijack it. Is 50 jumps enough to have a B. On top of that is 50 jumps with a B enough to be a coach? At 200 jumps I am only now starting to feel comfortable enough with my RW skills to feel that I can teach a student.

Dawn I you can do something similar to last year that would be awesome. Either White and Blue or Red and Blue would be great. I am hoping this year we can do a 9 - 11 and have the - guy holding the release bag. I guess that all depends on how many people are there.

Hey, Its about that time again. This will be the 2nd Annual September 11th memorial jump. This year I would love to have fire, police and emergency departments involved as well as military. I you know anyone who fits the criteria and is an active jumper please invite them out on the 9th of september (saturday). I posted under the events so hopefully this year we will be able to get a good group together. Guido if you know any Daggers or Knights that can make it please invite them. I am kind of hoping that we can do a little cookout that night. Show any guests we might have a little CSS hospitality. Eric do you think you would be willing to shoot a little video for us. I would really like to have a larger group then last year so please make sure you spread the word.
