GTAVercetti 0 #4 March 9, 2005 I would buy the Otter my DZ currently leases. I would pay for our new hanger. Spontaneously pay for everyone's jumps on random weekends. Take all of my friends on a big vacation. Buy them all new gear. Then travel to as many DZ's as possible. Get the best coaching and has a ton of fun.Why yes, my license number is a palindrome.

Bouda 0 #5 March 9, 2005 i think i would start a few businesses something for the kids and something for us too a dz with a wind tunnel and simulators for canapy control then have a lan ceter next to it so the kids can play video games while there parents jump. plus a gear store it would be like a dz mall almost. plus have a screening room with like 5 HD flat screens to watch your jumps. with nice leather couches. and surround sound. Look what i made at work today mom!! Put it on the fridge http://www.bouda.moonfruit.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #6 March 9, 2005 A cross between the first two options. I'd buy a jump plane and hit the boogie circuit, but would likely also host my own boogies in exotic locations at cost or less, and would also likely start a dz or two that would serve as my home base.

kingbunky 3 #7 March 9, 2005 i would probably take the first two options. since i'm in canada, our season is relatively short, so build a kick ass dz here, then travel with the plane the rest of the time. hit smaller dz's throughout the states at random, charge enought to cover expenses, have a blast. i'd also like to take a month or two a year and just travel on non jumping expeditions around the globe, (or beyond) with the family. hey, with that kinda cash, you could do pretty much what you wanted!"Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

DaGimp 0 #8 March 9, 2005 option 5 "go up to my boss, tell them both to fuck off, and piss on their desks." quite my job and travel around the world.........spend a full year traveling and jumping. come back home, build a house and retire, spend about a month jumping with coaching, then travel from boogie to boogie."Professor of Pimpology"~~~Bolas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewEckhardt 0 #9 March 9, 2005 QuoteWow I am bored so I thought I would throw this out Pick work without worying about money (maybe speed startups; I'd go insane without the mental stimulation), move two miles from my town home into a detached house with quieter neighbors and a chef's apartment, hire a gourmet chef, stop travelling comercially, heli-board more, and take care of the one irrational material desire (993 turbo) I'd otherwise forgo to save more money.

unformed 0 #11 March 9, 2005 I would buy three islands in the caribbeabean or mediterranean. Make one my home. Turn the other two into resorts. One island will be very relaxing (massages, hot tubs, whatever the hell nice relaxing resorts have.) The other will be all extreme sports kinda things. I'll buy this vertical wind tunnel , put a dropzone on there, get some bouldering or climbing spots, bungee jumping. Of course there will also be scube diving, deep sea fishing (if I can). If there's snow available, I'd like to have ski/snowboard spots as well, and then whatever else. And any customer of either resort would be free to go to the other one. It would be the greatest resort ever. Then I'd have a pet monkey to be be my beer refiller, and I'd have to hire a nice twenty-year-old girl to be my personal ball washer. (credits to lewis black for the last one.)This ad space for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevJim 0 #12 March 9, 2005 Last option, sorta. I would buy my current DZ probably a Caravan 'cause I like 'em(they would have a hard time supporting anything bigger), then move to my winter home in south Texas. Summers would be spent DZ/country hopping.It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #13 March 9, 2005 ....WITH an ever changing entourage' (sp) of family and friends.. BUT..... in addition ,I would honor the value of family in my life,, and pay off any mortgage balances of any of my siblings (4) , and any of my wifes siblings ( 8) ... Neices and nephews could very well find their college loans paid for.... and for those who have NO loans, maybe a 20 or 25 thousand dollar gift.. I would calculate as best I could all the time sacrifice love and money which My parents graced upon us and be sure that each of their every need and want is met..... hell They might even be in the Otter Entourrage'... once in a while.. .... Then... I am sure I'd find a roulette wheel, just so I could put 500 grand on Black.........or Red.... doesn't really matter.. I'll decide then... I would earmark 1 million a year for ten years to be issued in payments of 100 grand at a time. Each year i would give 10 gifts to people and causes which are important to me. I would create a trust fund for our DZ / Club which will more than cover ALL expenses "in perpetuity" and create a cash surplus which will allow once again for 5 Dollars Skydives for all Members.. Lastly.. I would reimburse the Owner of the Twin Otter which he has so graciously made available to our club for the last 4 or 5 seasons.. Then he would still own the Plane,, but would also have BACK every nickel, every dollar which He invested into It and into Us....

Thereafter i'd move back here, open a wind tunnel and make sure my DZ stays open all week.
