davjohns 1 #3151 September 5, 2009 Good morning Bry! I'm back in the states! It is an incredible morning!I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ketia0 0 #3156 September 5, 2009 First off. my pattern SUCKED!!!! should have planned that out ALOT better before takeoff! I was on the crosswind leg of my pattern at 100 feet. i was trying to turn left so i could be facing into the wind.. when i did the turn ( i tried a slow flat turn) the canopy dove. i let up fast on the toggles, and it dove harder!! gave it a VERY full and fast flare. helped.. but not much. hit hard. i tumbled over and got dragged for 15-20 feet. that sucked!!!

davjohns 1 #3175 September 5, 2009 Just got back from a one year deployment to Iraq which was preceded by three months at Ft. Riley, KS. Fifteen months total away from skydiving, hang gliding, family, friends, etc. Glad to be back. GF is in the air right now to see me. Hope everyone has as good a day as mine, but it's so unlikely. :)I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..
