livendive 8 #26 February 23, 2005 Quotechecking my memory, Dave...I was on that load too. Dornay and I landed on a dirt road next to the grape stakes. Did you forget about the little girl student that crashed thru the tree next to Dauses house ? Two trees on the whole DZ and someone hit both of them at the same boogie. Heh heh...yeah, I remember you being there with us. Bill of course hasn't let me forget about the girl that landed in that other tree on the same day, but he neglects to point out that she was a student while he was an instructor, or that she did no damage to her rig and climbed down herself, while he needed assistance and his canopy required sewing. On the plus side, he FINALLY saw this post of mine back in October or November of last year, and unwisely admitted that he sank into that tree. LMAO! At some point in the last several hundred feet, he thought it was gonna be close so he went into deep brakes to (hopefully) land short. Given that he landed right in the middle of it, he likely would have cleared it if he'd just let his canopy fly. I was very happy man to be there when he confessed.

jumpwally 0 #27 December 30, 2005 QuoteQuoteWas he under a round canopy? How many jumps has he done? What kind of canopy was he jumping? What was his wing loading? Did he have a AAD? Was he a USPA member? Was he a freeflyer or bellyflier? What kind of shoes was he wearing? Did his mom know he was skydiving?smile, be nice, enjoy life FB # - 1083 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

homer 0 #32 December 31, 2005 Dave I can still remember that story being one of the last you all talked about before he moved away. Bill was still telling you and Roy to go to hell. It was priceless wish we had gotten it on video. CSA #699 Muff #3804 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #34 January 7, 2007 Quote"justonetree.jpg" is a picture from outer space. What do you see? Now look at "treezoomedout.jpg". HA HA! A couple years ago, my friend landed in THAT tree. It's the only one around and it's visible from outer freaking space! OK, so maybe only the folks that know Bill will find this funny, but my face hurts from smiling non-stop for the last 20 minutes! Roy, Bob, Kevin, et al...check it out! :-) I'd just like to take this moment to welcome Bill, aka D_22359, to dz.com. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
