"Ummm...turns around a point????? What the hell are you supposed to pick out???" LOL....well....back when I took my Private ride....he made me do S-turns over a road, directly into turns around a point (over an intersection). But then again....its not like theres any landmarks near my hometown anyways.....I was expecting to have to do turns around a cow (or maybe, just maybe...a SHEEP!) ...and THAT, ladies and gentlemen...was my 300th post!!!! Beeeeeeeeer!!!!!!!!!!

"Aren't Grandma's Great..." Indeed.
-
Ahhh, that would make MUCH more sense....
-
"Ain't it great!!!" Yup....I dont have that oppurtunity....I think if I went on the computers at work to post they'd prolly shitcan me, lol.
-
"...and I get to have a hot toddy." Is that the same as a whiskey sling? My grandma made me one of those once, sounds like the same stuff....sure worked good
-
"I work so hard during the rest of the day..." LOL....at the time you posted that...you had precisely 4693 posts. Just thought I'd point that out
-
Yeah....after Sept. 11th, and after that stupid kid flew into a building in FL.....apparently people get nervous now when planes linger around large landmarks....
-
OK...I found it...it was on Joe Jennings site: http://www.joejennings.com/RobH.htm "Rob took up skysurfing and when he had around 40 or so jumps..."
-
Paul, I *think* thats where I got it from. I'm looking now but dont see it. If not, I will post the website when I find it...i know its around this here internet somewhere
-
Kinda going off topic here, but...every time I read something like that, I wonder to myself if the FAA shouldnt have more strict requirements to get a pilots license. I've spent a lot of time recently flying as a safety pilot for some guys working on their instrument ratings at my local airport (hey, I'm not a CFI yet, so I gotta build hours somehow
-
Nice paint job!!!
-
Awesome pics, by the way!!
-
Just curious....but I think I read somewhere that Rob Harris first jumped a board at 40 jumps... Maybe it was a typo?
-
OK, thanks guys! I should have thought that post over before I wrote it, lol. What you said makes perfect sense, and now I see where your coming from...anyways...thanks for clearing that up! Blue skies, Marshall

"Freeflying........is safer and all around less trouble." I dont really agree with that (although I have yet to try skysurfing). I think its more a matter of different TYPES of risk....yeah, in skysurfing you can red-out from a flat spin which causes your cypres to not fire....however, in freeflying there are probably just as many potential dangers, they are just different. I dunno, thats just my take on the subject...someone feel free to correct me if I'm way off....

OK, heres what I know about camping there. No, they dont have power hookups, BUT....they often run a big long extension cord from the packing hangar over to where people camp (I know cause I tripped over it playing frisbee once ). Oh...and the Holiday Inn and Comfort Inn both have discounts like someone already said....I think I paid $55/night for a really nice room at the Comfort Inn for 2 people.....
-
Just a thought, but...they wouldnt be too hard to make really. Take a tracing of a creeper from the DZ, lay it onto plywood, cut it out and find some decent caster-type wheels and you'd be all set. Probably cheaper....
-
NO CRUTCHES!!!! - In case anyone is keeping up....
TheMarshMan1 replied to pyke's topic in The Bonfire
"Geez, I didn't even say "BOOBIES" Yes you did! Glad to hear you're getting better Pyke...hope you get back in the air soon! -
OK, so maybe I'm not crazy. I read the article, that must be what I was thinking of...thanks Andrea!
-
oops, nevermind. I just checked...looks like I am imagining things again...lol.
-
Im too lazy to look, but isnt there a DZ in Marathon? Or am I imagining things again?
-
Not really....the school has to approve how much the loan can be for. You cant just say, oh, i want what my tuition is gonna be plus $5k. Doesnt work like that...belive me, I tried...
-
Dunno, but I have a friend who works in it....I can find out. Or maybe someone else here knows....
-
I did. Well, kinda/sorta. I was an Aeronauctical Science (pilot) major, which meant that I had to take out extra loans for flight training. The money from those loans was mine, and as long as I didnt finish the flight courses all at once I could keep getting money (its a little more complicated than that...but you get the idea). So I used some of that money for AFF and gear and stuff...but come to think of it, I'm really not sure how someone in a "normal" college situation would be able to do this.... Blue skies, Marshall

Or maybe two....
