I like the sound of those fares. I looked and even from Boise it's in the $250 to $300 range. I still have to pay for my new rig with my October paycheck, but I bet there will be some dollars from my November check available. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

So what airport do you fly into to go to Eloy? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Oh, wow! THat sounds way cool. You sure can't do that out of a 182. I'll be looking for you. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Ok, heli jumps has me looking for flights. What airport would I be flying into? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Thanks, I guess it's sort of a Sjyvan on steroids.

That would be great. I've met lots of West coast people in the year I've been jumping, but not many from the East coast. Hmmmmm, I'm assuming bolas isn't typical of jumpers from that side of the country. I still haven't gotten the image of him and his thong at Prairie out of my mind. lol Now for my dumb question of the day.......what's a CASA? I know it's an airplane, but that's about it "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Well, since I had made plans and plane reservations so I could be at the Thanksgiving Boogie at CSS. this sounds really good to me. You can count me in. Anybody wanna come jump with me when I'm there?

I know, but I'm not tellin" Way to go, ntrprnr (Peter)

Hey Skootz, Thanks for all the hard work and planning you did. Even with the horrid weather on Friday and Saturday, I think everyone had a great time. Although I didn't know MIchelle, from everything I've heard, she would have approved of the fun that was had by all. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

I think there is one other kind. Those who don't know YET that they want to skydive. I was one of those. Even when I occasionally heard people talk about having done a skydive, it never occured to me I would someday try it and like it.

Way to go Cindy!!! You are one determined woman. It seems to me this is a little ahead of schedule. You worked hard to get back in the air so quickly so pat yourself on the back and go jump again. I can't wait to get to jump with you. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Happy Birthday, JENNR8R, I hope you had a great day. After the fun we had at Chicks Rock, I wish I could have been there today to help you celebrate.

I love my pretty blue reserve. It gave me such a nice ride down after my main decided to imitate a carnival ride. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Happy Birthday, Squeak beat me too it, but I'm gonna do it anyway. MoooOooooo to you MoooOooooo to you MoooOooooo Lisa MoooOooooo to you] Have a great day. Wish I was there. I'd find you some cows to celebrate with. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

I had a call from Ruckert about an hour ago and he was only about an hour and a half from the dz. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

She does!!! I've seen them!! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Wonderful. I already had a brief encounter with one of those at West Plains in Ritzville, WA. I had turned on to final when one came through and boosted me up an extra hundred feet or so. I then had a choice of landing INTO buildings or onto pavement. I went for the pavement. I can PLF about anywhere.

I don't want to land on the beach or anywhere near it, especially in the ocean. And, uh, gators???????? Maybe Eloy is a better idea than I thought. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Ohhhhhhh, I think I may have to start looking at air fare to Florida. OH, I just had a though. How close is the ocean? My accuracy is getting better, but it's one thing to land out in a field and another in the Atlantic. But, wait, would that count as my water training for my B? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Nawwww. I did a perfect tippy toe standup landing in that field. Just ask the cows. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Hmmmm. I learned a bit about getting into trouble at Chicks Rock. LisaH is a corrupting influence. Her and her friend Jack. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

I wish, but I'm back to work by then. It would have to be a really quick trip to do that. Can you be more specific on the dates you'll be around this part of the world? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
