Thanatos340 1 #13 March 10, 2010 Main side - My Right Hand. Reserve Side - My Left Hand. 1992 - IAD from a Cessna 152 with a Piglet 23 Round Main. No AAD, SOS/ROL Rig, Jump Master was also the Pilot. Hand him the pilot chute and step out on the strut. He would fly the plane with one hand and hold on to the Pilot chute with the other. Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet. If you did real good you first couple jumps, You got to go to 3500 feet. Fortunately that DZ is no longer around. First Jump Course and 1st Jump cost $90. After that jumps were $40 for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NovaTTT 2 #14 March 10, 2010 1985 - S/L. One had to go to FL for AFF, some new-fangled instructional method. Bill Scott (today DZO Skydive Monroe) was SLI & JM. I wonder if he still teaches 1hr+ PLFs?"Even in a world where perfection is unattainable, there's still a difference between excellence and mediocrity."

Icon134 0 #16 March 10, 2010 Stewart Cavanaugh (sp) main side and Jim Vance reserve side.... (I might have the sides wrong but I think that's right)... Last I heard... Stewart inherited a substiantal amount of money, stopped skydiving, and disappeared... but it was second hand... I ran into Jim Vance while on Vacation in Eloy last winter. I hadn't seen him a few years before running into him last year and it was interesting running into him.Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

There wasn't an option for AFF at the time at Skydive New England in Lebanon, Maine. Back then they had just a little 182. Boy has that placed changed. My static line instructor was Mel.... Gosh I wish I could remember his last night. H something maybe.
