As AFF jumps are usually one of the last groups out I typically tell the students to look for our canopies and what direction we are going. The radio is only a back up. Two weeks ago I happend to witness a long spot and watch the student fly away from the DZ while his instructors flew towards it. (I was on the load before and asked which frequency they were on to minimize any concerns.) The student did not turn towards the DZ so I grabbed a spare radio, changed to their frequency and got the student pointed in the right direction. As soon as they were on track the instructor with the radio had just landed and resumed the remainder of the contact. Their student was able to land in a clear area.

It's only because he's a chicken shit. Go tell that to guys in TF Ranger. Mog was a fiasco. He and his boy Aspin didn't think that they would need armored vehicles nor air support. Then he shows up at the hospital for a photo op with the wounded. Hell, I'm surprised that he didn't show up on the beach when the Force Recon guys landed there at night. Well, at least CNN was there to greet them. Yeah, we should let it go, but your boy chose to release his book during an election year. Nice timing.

You can always bring out that oldie: Perris Mo' booze.

Some of you may remember Landing Priorities from AFF. 1. Land in a straight line 2. Clear of obstacles 3. Into the wind 4. Accuracy In this case a skydiver that has just landed is an obstacle. If you are in the landing pattern it is your responsibility to land clear of obstacles, or land elsewhere. I've seen a 200 jump person land too close to those that have just landed and his canopy hit that jumper. There were only 4 people in the landing area, and we have a pretty large grass area. Mr. 200 jump chump has since made another stupid landing move and has recently been reprimanded by the S&TA.

I don't see it. I recently did Check Dives with a couple of students which I have also did several AFFs with. These 2 went to Bonehead to get some helmets and stopped by Perris as the incident took place. We've discussed downsizing, proper canopy training, and the dangers of low turns throught their training. Both are good skydivers and canopy pilots, but one is getting a little over confident. They approached me when they returned and let us know how much they appreciate our advice and why we say what we say. Too bad it takes a serious accident for most people to get the message. -
You know, if you can talk someone into coming there with a bunch of demo wingsuits you could call it the chicks flock!!!!!! Well, you figure over a hundred hot chicks will be there, so why aren't BMIs knocking down the door? 3 Otters, a SkyVan, and an A-Star?

Congrats!

The home of Chicks Rock!!!!

I recommend you discuss this with our S&TA, who is also a rigger.

Who's reality? Yours? As a DZO, how would you market your business? What exacty do you propose as a solution?

You do not need to pay the fee nor get an A license number, however, your stamped A license proficiency card is invalid if you have not paid your annual dues.

Dude, Hot pics! Too bad the Scooter and Super Fox are gone. Still good to see the F-16N and F-5s, though! See you at El Snore. Check six, Shark -
The only one that matters is Chicks Rock! Ironically, it is only 4 months away.

I bet I can get a Sabre2 210 to do it with shorter brake lines....

Simple: Log tunnel time as tunnel time .

Are your brakes set at the factory settings? It sounds like your brake lines are a little short. I've experienced this on my prevoius canopy. Check with your local rigger.
