Finnaly back to finish AFF

[skydivinbmxer 0]

It has been over a year and a half, but I am finnaly back to finish AFF :) I got to make my re currency jump on saturday and now i have friday off work and will be able to hammer out a good 3-4 jumps and move on to hop and pops.. i was unable to jump last year due to the fact i was laid off for like 8 months and cash was scarse :( BUT i have my job back and now ready to get back and get the big "A" License!! i knew i missed beign out in the air but i really realized it when i fianly step out of the old 182 and make my jump!! Just felt like i never left and it has been waitign for me to return LOL>> I know now that i def will be a skydiver for life.. and my DZ will have a twin otter this year so im even more excited... by the time this season is over i will owe so much beer i think i will just buy a keg and call it a day!! ANYWAYSS... Just so happy to be back with all my fellow skydivers!

People call me crazy for jumping out of a perfectly good plane..... why would we want to get in a plane thats falling apart anyways.. i want a perfectly good plane

Welcome back mate !! Get that A licence

I tend to be a bit different. enjoyed my time in the sport or is it an industry these days ??

Awesome. I can completely sympathize with you. I don't make much money and right I only seem to be able to go once every few weeks. I just keep going when I can and as it gets cheaper I'll be able to go more. Probably not the best sport to take up when you don't have a lot of extra cash, but it makes me too happy not to go. I originally thought I'd only go once, but as we all know, that's not possible.

Same problem here! Don't have to much money to spent either (common student problem ;) ), but it's a new passion, which i'll have my whole life long, that's for shure!

Welcome back! I think it's great that a person can take time out from this addictive hobby and rejoin later. I too had some time off, in my case right after completing AFF. A re-cert session and jump, some good AFFI input, and of course the obligatory beer or two, and you are right back in the groove.

Good news on the T-Otter too. That should allow for more jumps per day over the 182.

I fully understand your plight. I started AFF last summer, then had to stop because of a cashflow dilemma. I am now ready to purchase the entire AFF training program. I had to pinch some pennies. I had to cut back on other luxuries, but it was worth it...Now I am ready!!! So please know that I am right there with you....Let's do this thing!!!

Blue skies!!!!

I will have to go back to AFF-2 and go from there. After 8 months on the ground I am more than willing to do whatever it takes. I will be back in the air by late May or maybe early June. I will definitely video my level seven jump and post it here.
How do you know when a past-time becomes an obsession?

Blue skies to everyone.
