mjrwatkins 0 #1 October 10, 2005 Having followed several promising leads, it looks like I am still traveling to Bridge Day without any gear. I need to beg, borrow, steal, rent some gear from someone. I am jumping in the last group of the day 11:15-12:00, but I am willing to make the 630am trip and squeeze in at the start if it helps. I need a 260 or 280 to land safely, and a container. Any info or offers gladly accepted. I understand the going rate, and will add a few beers as well for anyone helping me out. Thanks a lot, JW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaapSuter 0 #2 October 10, 2005 Call me when you get to Fayetteville. My number is the area code of Vancouver, Canada (look it up) followed by 313-JAAP. I have five other people borrowing my gear, but if both rigs are still dry by the time your group starts, you're more than welcome to use my gear. We're meeting at the Holiday Inn lobby on Friday morning at 9:30 AM. Be there if you want to be part of the master plan. It'll take some ingenuity to schedule the packing and jumping of two rigs and potentially seven people, in one day. Fortunately all jumpers are spread out over the four groups, so that helps. Consider this your backup, I urge you to continue looking for more secure gear. But if it doesn't work out, we'll try hard to make you get a jump in!.

I will hope for more responses to the post, but keep your number at hand. If we meet up, you earned the beer already for helping out so many people.

The plane could crash on the way to Bridge Day, killing me, leaving several people without rigs. That would really ruin my day. Besides, beer's on me.
