Hey hook I knew it wasn't you 'cause you don't hide when you've got things to say. Hope you are well. Enjoy CO!

Preregistered on-line and bought my tiks. Last weekend the WFFC people called and said I won a jacket! ...that's great, but I was wishing for the bomber jump!!! Won't give the jacket back though. See you all there. Gemini ... Let go dude! I can't land with you hanging on!...

Ummhhh...anybody "wonder" why WonderBoy did not include his name and email in his profile? Gemini ... Let go dude! I can't land with you hanging on!...

Another scene: You are a 20 yr old 2nd Lt Platoon leader. 3 of your 10 man squads are trapped by enemy fire and will all die unless the enemy fire is diverted. You have no communications outside your platoon. You have one 10 man squad in reserve. You can send them to flank the enemy and draw the fire away from the trapped 30. All 10 of the reserve squad will die in the rescue attempt. Do you send them? Does if make a difference if you go with them? Gemini ... Let go dude! I can't land with you hanging on!...

Jeff D (Flash) took these photos of me today. First is start of flat tracking exit from Super Otter (MF). Gemini ... Let go dude! I can't land with you hanging on!...

It's not Cleveland, but we (Jeff D, Steve S, Dennis and his wife) will be at WFFC on 8/3. Hope to catch you guys there. Be safe on the road. Jim Gemini ... Let go dude! I can't land with you hanging on!...

Congrats Levin, just 100 more to the big leagues!!! Gemini ... Let go dude! I can't land with you hanging on!...

Ok...she doesn't know I am posting this ... Gemini ... Let go dude! I can't land with you hanging on!...

I don't think so. Seems like there was something on the WFFC web site about the bombers costing $3,000 per hour to fly. I'll bet there are not many drop zone that could afford to have them for the weekend! You would have to have a very large event (WFFC, Airshow, etc.) to get them out. Gemini ... Let go dude! I can't land with you hanging on!...

Today he catches an alligator at the Southeast pond at SSL, wraps it with electrical tape and brings it into the hanger for everyone to see. It was only 3 ft long but he was in the water with it! Gemini ... Let go dude! I can't land with you hanging on!...

I know Spaceland has two Casas for the 6/14-16/02 Texas State Record attempts, but has anyone heard that there will be a Casa there on June 7-9th also? Gemini ... Let go dude! I can't land with you hanging on!...

My first tandem jump was out of a Casa. When I went back the next weekend for the 2nd, the JM said "let's walk to the aircraft so I can show you how to exit." I didn't understand why additional exit instructions were necessary since you just stepped off the tail-gate. How hard was that? Then I saw the 182! Gemini ... Let go dude! I can't land with you hanging on!...

Five Spacelanders are going to WFFC 8/3-8/8. Any other dot commers going then? Would be a great place to meet and set a new dot com record. Gemini ... Let go dude! I can't land with you hanging on!...

On the first page, select "Different First Page" and Apply to: "This Section", then "OK". The Header/Footer while in edit mode should say "First Page Header-Section 1". Then go to the second page, deselect "Different First Page" and select Apply to: "This Point Forward", then click "OK"> The header/footer for the second and subsequent pages should say "Header(or Footer)-Section 2 Same As Previous" and you are done.

Dead Mike comes out to Spaceland once in a while to take photos. I don't know him, but a lot of guys here do. Gemini ... Fear? Fear is riding the plane down ...

washingtonpost.com Survivors Recall '92 Skydive Crash By Robert Jablon Associated Press Writer Monday, April 22, 2002; 8:29 AM LOS ANGELES –– Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld remembers nothing about the airplane crash that nearly killed him, or the five weeks he lay in a coma afterward. What he does remember is that one of his best friends died on the skydiving plane that crashed 10 years ago Monday. "It infuriates me," he says of the crash. "I'm still very good friends with his mother, with his sister. I see them and talk to them and it just kills me, that I had anything to do with it." In one of the worst accidents in skydiving history, the twin-engine de Havilland plunged to the ground during takeoff at Perris Valley Airport, killing the pilot and 15 skydivers. Brodsky-Chenfeld, 40, was among six survivors. He was coaching American and Dutch skydivers and had recruited some to come out to Southern California for training. Among the dead was his friend James Layne, whom he had taught to skydive in Ohio. Federal officials determined that contaminated fuel caused the right engine of the DHC-6-200 Twin Otter to lose power after takeoff. The pilot then made a mistake. The overloaded plane's right wing dipped and struck the ground. Witnesses said the craft bounced upright and then nose-dived, shearing off its nose and wings. Troy Widgery, 35, of Denver, recalls the aircraft was 300 feet in the air when it rolled over and he saw the ground out of the door. The crash knocked him out for several seconds. When he awoke, he found himself on top of bodies, fearful that the aircraft would catch fire. "I thought, well we lived through that and now it's gonna burn. Gotta get out of here. Everyone was either dead, dying or couldn't move." Widgery spent several days in the hospital with a broken hip, collarbone and other injuries. "I was jumping two months later. Once I could walk again, I was skydiving," he said. The skydiving school about 60 miles southeast of Los Angeles survived and has flourished, now handling about 10,000 student jumps a year. Pictures of the dead hang on the school walls, and there is a memorial park near the drop zone. On Monday, friends will gather there for skydiving and a barbecue. "It's an opportunity to be among people who truly understand our pain," said Melanie Conatser, co-owner of Perris Valley Skydiving. Brodsky-Chenfeld, of Chandler, Ariz., suffered a head injury, a broken neck, a collapsed lung and other internal injuries in the crash. He is "covered with scars" and still takes medication for back pain and other problems caused by his injuries. Yet he, too, was back to skydiving only months after the crash, following two major surgeries and with a brace around his neck. He has made 9,000 jumps since the crash, and started a championship skydiving team, Arizona Airspeed. "It's hard to ever consider a life that doesn't include that," he said. "It's really important that every day of your life you're doing something that really challenges you, something that you love to do." Gemini ... Fear? Fear is riding the plane down ...

An old snap from the Web--I think it was Z-Hills. Gemini ... Fear? Fear is riding the plane down ...

All I know is a rumor that in a RW jump years ago, two jumpers collided with one being knocked out. As he fell away from the formation, Scotty recognized that the guy was unconcious and chased him below 1K in an attempt to save him. Scotty never talked about it, but some of his long-time friends who came to Spaceland to visit did after they had a few beers. Gemini ... Fear? Fear is riding the plane down ...
