    I think you did the right thing. The canopy coming from the left, seems to be cross wind? Am I seeing this right? I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic!

    In general, I agree. However, I disagree that one's reaction upon realizing an imminent collision should be dodging to one side or the other. We teach canopy pilots to make small turns to one side or the oher to avoid last minute obstacles, so you may end up juking left just as the pilot jukes left, too. If you think someeone is going to hit you, drop to the ground in place, brace for impact, and cover your head. Chances are they'll either go around you, or go over you. Leaving your helmet on until you get out of the landing area might be a good idea, too. This can easily be remedied by requiring all jumpers to immediately lay on the ground with their hands over there heads braced for impact until the DZ Gods sound the all clear bell. Never underestimate the value/power of the DZ Gods! It's just not a good idea. Remember your seat cushion can be used as a flotation device. Yep! you're an idiot. nuff said. I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic!

    Good post Bill. When I went out later to shag the tandems, I noticed 2 low # jumpers land & pay no attention to the cocky kids coming in behind them. I told them the story about watching Mic get hit @ Z-hills. When doing up your lines TURN & FACE in coming traffic. Again.. You're not safe till you're in the hanger. And even that ain't safe sometimes!!!! I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic!

    I would suggest you raise a glass & toast yourself. You have good health & you're not dirt poor.. You have a lot of people you can call your friends. You have a beautiful healthy daughter. Happy Birthday early.

    Not a fan of the Pac. Felt like flying tin can. Super King Air, Otter, Grand Caravan, Casa, Skyvan. Hell, The old Beach 99 beats the Pac in my book. I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic!

    Is it a bad thing to admit that I have made a single one plural? (well... we had to. It was part of the anatomy dissection. And none of the guys would) That is.. oohhhh. I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic!

    You're the the one that got us into the world of skydiving. Be proud of that. Granted, 05 was a great year! ... but 06 & 07 did become work.. would not trade it for any thing tho. I loved the work & pain. Thank you. I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic!
