    QuoteThe DZ in Fernandina was kicked out by Nassau county in 1998 after that Planet Radio stunt that ended in a life flight. (So I'm told from the locals after moving here) *** There was no Planet Radio "stunt" there. A D.J. who happened to jump there did a low turn and smashed himself up pretty good. I hope the new place does well, it will be a good place for me to jump when I fly my G5 up there to be washed. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver

    Quotein the UK we have a very nice thing where the government gives you £3000 a year - it is called a student loan and can be spent as you wish ***The govt in the UK gives everyone in the country 3000 a year? What program is that? John Wright World's most beloved skydiver

    While he is small and cute, if he does something like jump on you when you come in the door think to yourself, "Would I want him to do this if he was a 90 lb german shepherd?" If the answer is no train him to to an appropriate behavior instead. I wouldn't sweat it, I see very little chance of him turning into a German Shepherd. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver

    QuoteI'm guessing for most tandems it is a first jump, and wonder how many of them can actually properly understand the risks? *** Excactly right! No first jumper can really understand the extra risk , no matter how much you brief them. A couple of years ago, some bonehead posted here about what a great so and so this tandem I was because he swooped another jumpers cutaway main, saving it from getting wet in a lake. Got some of the same kind of responses. That being said, I know several TI's that are perfectly capable of safely doing moderately aggressive turns on landing. I don't think any of them actually do "hook turns". John Wright World's most beloved skydiver

    I believe it is a requirement set forth in the TSO for the 182 jump door mod that the pilot wear a rig, not positive though. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver

    There are several. The Best Western is about 3 to 4 miles away 386-325-7800, Holiday Inn 2 to 3 miles away 386-328-3481. I would recommend The Moorings 386-325-3633, it is about a mile away and on the river and has a pretty good restaurant. There are several others but I would'nt recommend them.

    Quote Beca, are you really going? I'm thinking about it I was there sunday night and monday during Wilma and it seems pretty nice, the only thing I still don't know is if I can park the trailer in airport grounds? I really did not like the RV Inn where I parked the last time at least not to leave the trailer there during the day and come back to it during the night, let me know. *** Of course you can park your RV there.
