3. No three point landings, okay?

It's pretty cool that this DZ has static line gear.

[Duncanpup]

4. Good luck!

I used to dream of sky diving, until a friend…well, he is mostly ok now.

Now I am thinking a zip line would do it for me.

10. using T 10's or ramair chutes

the t10's are still rough on the lower body, the ramair chutes are much nicer to land. flare the chute and its like jumping off a kitchen chair.

safe landings.

13. T-10 is what we used in division when i was kid.

This jump club is certified to pack Ram instructor said to me in person yesterday after drive down. I’ll just do static that’s what I’m comfortable with and what i know.

I only have 11 jumps with 82nd and the 5 you needed to make jump school.
And they have a bird Saturday I’m to show 05:00 mini airborne school refresher course then we go 09:00.

15. I have jumped with both

Once you get the hang of flaring your chute, you will be amazed at how civilized the jump can be. It can be a nice soft drop, although, flare too early and it can be a long fall. =Did they say what kind of aircraft? Also, my jumps were years ago, but i vividly remember the staccato bark of, Locate, Separate, Locate, Pull, Pull.....

Locate locate the cut away cord
Separate release the cut away from the Velcro
Locate locate the rip for the back up chute
Pull Pull the cut away cord releasing the primary
Pull Deploy the back up chute

16. PLF I got you friend In division we used to say PLF

Perfect fucking landing is what we’d joke about dropping with full gear and get off D.Z. to form up as rifle company.

Looking under red lense flash light a joke spit in your hand your ribs hurt I don’t see no blood we’re good ruck up move out.

[bottomofthehill]

17. Any landing you can walk away from.. PFL

Enjoy the ride!

[Duncanpup]

18. Saturday 05:00 I'm on

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Hard Pass For Me

I understand the attraction, especially for someone like you that has done it before.
But, I'm not getting out of moving plane unless the pilot hands me a chute & says "The plane is broken."

[Duncanpup]

12. Hey my friend

I’m up having coffee vacation this week and i find myself looking at Reverb.com.

14. You're Addicted, My Friend

If we have a good weather spate in December, I'm driving to Chicago Music Exchange to sell one of my Martin's. (1964 model)
I inherited it, and while it sounds good & plays well, it's an ugly guitar. I could get a good resonator & have cash left over.
I've been playing piano as much as guitar lately. Not playing guitar less, though. Just playing more per day.
