Got mine in Deland. I made lots of Salsa at Deland for the instructors and staff when I was in AFF and trying to get my A. One day my rental rig had just been packed. The packer asked another asked whose rig he had just packed. Ron the Packer answered, "Salsa's".

The name stuck

I got my name after I was finished with one of my A license progression jumps and everyone was hanging around outside the hanger shooting the breeze, they asked my instructor how it went and he said dam he's fast, and they started calling me Sky Bomb and it stuck. Everybody wanted to jump with me after I got my license but unfortunetly I got it to late in the year and they all either went south for the winter or hybernated. Can't wait for warmer weather.

STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER

JoJo has always been my nickname but the number has followed me for years. My first softball number, my number in line on graduation from high school and then is was my student number in college. I just couldn't seem to get away from it so I choose to keep it.

Got mine flying. I did a G-loc study and when I went out, my head shook like a woodpecker. Kind of stuck. Figures why not use my call sign for everything I do in the air.

There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

that's really funny! if you have video, post it!!! i love centrifuge vids, they are a riot!

btw, what are you sitting in in your avatar? hard to tell, but from the looks of it, a single seater, more upright seat, so perhaps an A-10? Maybe F-15? Definately not an F-16, seat isn't reclined enough...

I had my nickname before I even went to the dropzone. Got mine back in '98, and it accidently grew, and stuck. very few people even know what my real name is anymore.

how i got my nickname... people say it fits my personality... just cheerful, talkative, smiling all the time, etc.... go figure

Boinky was dubbed on me innocently by my family, years ago. Have you ever played the game where you'll be walking along and you bump into someone, trying to knock them over, out of step or something like that? When we'd hit the other person, we'd say, "Boink." Since I was VERY good at this game, my family named me BOINKY.

It wasn't until I started talking to Mike that I found out what the name REALLY means. I'm [B]SOOOO[/B] embarrassed now.

But Mike nicknamed me JR, short for Jack Russell. He says my personality and attitude is just like one. Thus, the avatar pic. And yes, that pic was pulled from a Jack Russell web page, so it [B]IS[/B] a Jack Russell, for those non-believers. We had a debate about this very subject months ago here.

Recently, I've moved to "Mike's Princess" but that is not a story I'm getting into.

Mine was given shortly after my first AFF jump.

After I threw out, I noticed that I had the dreaded "Slider stuck in the DOWN position" malfunction. I spent 90% of my time under canopy flaring, steering, kicking, etc. trying to clear this mal. No matter what I tried, the slider would not go up where it was supposed to!

Then, all of a sudden, I realized that my controllability checks were normal and relaxed enough to start my final approach (spazzed my way through the setup and base leg) and stir up some dust.

The next morning, I received a PM from a pal known by everything in the name UP TO the 'Ski'...

PM subject read "Hey Slider...."
