Starting AFF in a week, again

[North95 0]

That right, I'll be back in the air in about a week.

I can be seen at DSC in Buckeye AZ on Monday March 22 starting at 9AM.

I've been on the ground for almost six months, ever since my not-so-graceful landing on my last AFF1. Now that the fractures have healed, I'm ready to stand up a landing, or at least PLF better. I'm trying to concentrate on the good parts of the last jump; I pulled at the correct altitude, did my control checks, found the DZ, landed not too far from where I was supposed to, and in the planned direction. Sounds easy to you guys. And you know, on that final upwind leg, I really thought I had it made.

Anyway, I have one week of work left, then it time for AZ.

I'm sure I'll be so pumped by next weekend that I'll have to post this again.

My backpack is too small! I used some heavy textbooks, (including Halliday & Resnick [someone mentioned that one in another post], Frommer's Arizona [my last name is Frommer, no relation], and another heavy medical textbook) They only weighed ten pounds! It didn't feel heavy or bad. I guess I'll have to find me some bricks, although my backpack probably will probably give out before I will.

I'll be in some sad shape if I don't find a computer in AZ. I don't have a laptop. I spoke to the DZ today. i forgot to ask them about that. I did find out that I will have a small problem because they require two instructors for AFF 1-3. i only had one for AFF1, and had no problem freefalling, my problem was stopping. Anyway, they have only one full-time instructor. The others have day jobs, and will get to the DZ at 4, or maybe one at 2PM, Monday-Friday. Once I get through AFF3, there won't be a problem. Maybe its better to start out slowly anyway.

Buckeye is not a big town, I don't know if they have an internet cafe. They probably have some computers at the DZ, although I can't say for sure. Sounds like I'll have time to drive to Phoenix perhaps to get online. Maybe I can live offline for two weeks. There are telephones there.

I hope your knee is better Cindy. Hopefully we'll both be jumping at Crosskeys.
