    I checked the weather on the entire route on NOAA, it was flyable enough, they had only one operational runway at SL, so they were holding em' and bringing them in one at a time, as for fuel we sat on the runway for 30 min. running, couldn't have been cheap, well maybe the pilots were logging tach time.

    1.5 hours late getting into Salt Lake, they said they can't give a voucher because it was weather related....BULLSHIT! Pilot told us that only one runway was operational and only one plane at a time was allow to come down at a time so we were held on the Elko runway for 45 minutes until we could get clearance to take off. They satated they wanted to clear the airspace over Salt Lake somewhat before we were allowed to depart Elko. missed my connection and no voucher because it was a weather hold! And to top it off I have now missed my ride home tonight and my wife don't drive and my destination airport is an hour and a half from my home!

    Hi God Bought one new ____________________________________________________________ Always pack my own Krip, tried alot of methods with that old rag to, reason I opened high is because I was with a person with new gear and he opened at 6000'. only cut the thing away once though.

    I recomend going big at first, like maybe a skyvan door then start downsizing until you can fly a boogie board confidently. Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward

    Hard to remember that far back with detail but Paul Cooley used to jump a stratocloud that looked like that, he moved to alaska and then later moved to washington state. He is still jumping in washington. Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward

    I call it the Nerfing of the sport, Bill Booth would call it his third law of skydiving. Essentially the more accesible and "safer" the sport becomes, the lower the skill, judgement, and intelligence levels required to participate are, and when subsequently the safety net breaks down, the result is people who can't handle dynamic situations. ____________________________________________________________HERE HERE +1 Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward

    since I started skydiving I have never had a dream that I was falling. Maybe facing an subconsious fear head on cured me of a possible phobia? Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward
