Will the REAL Kramer please stand up?

[Dagny 0]

It's true. I have photographic evidence of the meeting of the two Kramers. I'll leave it to you to determine the imposter!

And to everyone from Zhills this New Years...wow! I believe this was the best start to a year I have ever had. Such a beautiful area, such a fun atmosphere, such good company, and an amazing jump on the sunset load on the first day of this new year. What more could one girl ask for?
Every time I get to zhills, I love it more!

I've added a few more pics that I took over the week...

A few more pics...this time of 800ft static line jumps on rounds. I called the guys freaks, but I liked the phrase "lawn darts" better. Much more accurate, I think!

Is JmpnKramer actually standing or is he in a ditch.
Cora would be taller than him by the looks of things

Kramer is one tall sky-hottie! I had to stand on something just to hug him!

The imposter is 6'5". And, no...I'm definitely not taller than JmpnKramer. I'm only 5'3".

Nice pics - I was on the next load so I didn't get to see the "sacks of potatoes" being dropped!

It's always great entertainment - last time there were 2...well, less than perfect spots in the high wind. Funny, I never knew round parachutes could go UP in altitude that way!

So much to learn yet. "Lawn Darts" are what RW flyers call the FF.

Are we going to have to get you a dictionary?

Those static line jumps are not that bad. I have several. My lowest is from 600'. To date that is. Those jumps also included over 100LBS of equipment. Keep in mind that the whole chute system ways somewhere in the 69LB range. All of that is more than I weigh.

I will be making one this weekend.

Did you take those pictures of the double swoop? I was packing right next to the swoop pond when they did it. Very impressive.

Dagny--

It was so great to meet you in Z-Hills! And that pic of Kelly and Vern swooping the pond turned out great!

NO doubt about it, there is only one KRRAMERRR!
The imposter doesn't look anything like Kramer!

Great sunset photos, Dagny!

The static line guys are members of the Phantom Airborne brigade. A bunch of old army types who get together, do s/l jumps, and socialize.

Rarely you will still hear people refer to a WDI (wind drift indicator) these days. They work ok unless the wind changes. A month ago, they put out the first 2 sticks and everything went ok. The winds picked up while the 3rd group was on jump run. One guy drifted a 1/2 a mile off.

Nice pics.

There can only be one Kramer

I think it was more than a half mile there Bill.

You also forgot to mention that horendous thunderstorm they chose to jump in.

Isn't that the way that ariborne groups work? Get in the plane, get out, walk around for a while.

Maybe it is a new part of the sport. Para-hiking. You just land as far out as you can and then hike back. Of course, we'd have to have a special section for CRW people.

Well I hate to state the obvious but niether of them actually look like Kramer but since this is about which one looks MOST like Kramer well . . .

Last I checked Kramer's hair was wrecked and dark. Without question jmpnkramer would have to be the winner here.

It's not an exact match, so I am waiting for the results of the DNA test. Oh, and guys, quit sending samples, the mailman is getting disgusted.

Yeah you got me on the spelling. I am trying to do several things here to close the year for the Bankrupt company I work for.

Thanks for the back-up there Bill.

Sure is the way of AIRBORNE just ask any qualified individual who has been there.

Step 1: get all geared up with 70LBs of Parachute
and at least 100lbs of equipment.

Step 2: wait at least 7 hours before loading a plane.

Step 3: Load the plane (and for all you who
complain about being hot and crammed in
a skydiving plane just have no idea!)

Step 4: Fly around so the pilot can get some flight
time.

Step 5: Watch the weak stomach guys puke in bags
and try not to smell it.

Step 6: Stand up.

Step 7: Do at least 4 Race Tracks (AKA: Go Arounds)
With all that equipment trying not to fall
while Hooked up.

Step 8: Jump.

Step 9: Gather parachute and equipment and goto
rally point.

Step 10: Land navigate back to starting point or
predetermined destination.

Step 11: Clean up and do it all over again.

ahhh dagny... I sense somebody who has only jumped turbines...

the "windthingys" are called "wind drift indicators"... aka "woodies". you use em in static line drops. then let you know where a round would land if the person under it never made a steering correction. they are also helpful to see how strong the winds are from 3k and below, which is useful to see where the spot is for student barges.

AWESOME pics Missy! Ever consider taking photography up as more than just a hobby? You have a good eye.

By the way, did you like the book?

it's funny too, me and vern decided on our first one in the plane, he was like "hey lets do a team landing" me, "180's or you want to try 270's" vern" 180's, you take the left side, i'll take the right" "'k".
