I love San Marcos as well...need to head out there and see what they have been up to lately...Ready to go this weekend to either one...the only problem is I usually leave after work so it would not be until the afternoon...but I would love to have company on the way if you are up for waiting until I am done with work...:)

Went to Temple last week...had a blast!! They are flying a PAC 750 so we made it to 14,000 feet in I think less than 15 minutes. I usually jump in San Marcos, though. Where are you jumping at currently?



Our PAC makes 13,500 in 11 minutes.:)

There PAC at Temple is hella fast... and they fly pretty light loads to get jumpers up on a slow day... I wouldnt doubt if the speed is comparable to yours and temples is really pretty with a funny ass pilot :P

I met MarkMark yesterday - He's pretty cool - and you better not be trolling in this thread young lady.

Yeah, I can't really say the pilot is funny or cool or anything else since he doesn't talk much. He is skilled, though. I went for an observer ride before starting AFF and I was impressed with the smoothness of his stick-and-rudder skills.:)

Plan for one more DZ this winter. I hear that our Bremerton DZ in WA is planning to spend the winter in the San Antonio area, possibly bringing down the turbine converted C-207. That would be a good time.



You coming down with them?

Do they realize that the winter is the rainy season in TX?[:/]

You mean there are people on the left coast that aren't afraid of texas summers?:o

I'm a Texan born and raised, left when I was 14. I still remember those Fort Worth summers, feeling like you could fry an egg on the top of your head.:S

I love my Seattle summers.B|B|B|B|



I'm in Fort Worth right now visiting my mom and sister. It's too fucking hot to jump, so I'll be heading over to Possum Kingdom to SCUBA dive in a couple of days instead :P

Hell, I have found N Texas to be much nicer in the summer than Florida.

Wouldn't mind a visit, but no, I won't be coming down with them. Yep, it's the rainy season in Texas, but it's the constantly fricking raining, 900 foot overcast season in Washington that time of year, so what the eff.:)
