JENNR8R 0 #12 August 17, 2007 That Golden Knight tandem master was at my DZ a couple of weekends ago. He was going up to everyone and shouting, "I packed my own pack job for the first time!" ...over and over to anyone who would listen. After his next jump I asked him if it opened, and he said yes. I didn't think he was really with the other Knights. Apparently, one doesn't need to know how to pack to become a Golden Knight.

A lot of them lurk on here. I didn't want to list them all to respect their privacy. I just named a few who openly post here and are well known.

I didn't talk to him until after he came down from his jump. He was busy handing out Golden Knights stickers, and I handed him a popsicle. You would have thought I had given him CPR, he was so grateful! It was a rather warm day. What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.

They were here from 11am to 3pm. 4 hours and they managed to get 4 minutes that they could air. On the plane ride, there was a "make room for (previous member of TS cast) " followed by the appropriate Muff Bros response. I can see how that got left on the edit room floor. The great thing is that the TS crew got huge laughs out of it. Great people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmytavino 16 #25 August 18, 2007 Don true.....up to the very end of the segment.......when an obviously proud and satisfied NBC correspondent Kerry Sanders explains his joy and sense of accomplishment.... and THEN says to Meredith Viera,,,, " the Golden Knights have offered an invitation to You, to join them on a tandem skydive.....". Man !!!!! a chance to jump with some well qualified, pros AND skydive outta that beautiful aircraft,,,,,, and like the f*&%'n prima donna that she is.... She replies,, "NO"..damn that left a lousy taste in my mouth.... In two seconds,, that lady *, dragged a positive segment about our sport,,, back down to a whuffos' illogical and negative comment.... all at the same time, that the other Host, David Gregory,,, seemed excited and seemed to be wishing He had been invited,,, and then like the true, kiss ass that he must be,,,, he laughed, as though to be in support of Her resistance to the idea... Otherwise,,,,, a good piece, but with far too little footage of the dirt dive, the climb , and the skydive. * that's NO lady .... jaytee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
