tbrown 26 #60 October 27, 2003 Got out to Perris around 10 am only to find that operations were shut down due to high Santa Ana winds. The fires were still distant and the sky was clear, though a growing fire could be seen on the southern horizon. Shortly after 12 noon, the winds died down and an Otter load got up and jumped, the landings looked good and the people said it was nice. But by then the regional Air Traffic Control was being evacuated from their building and without them the DZ mgmt decided to bag it for the day. Fortunately the Bomb Shelter was open.

Tonto 1 #62 October 27, 2003 I'm at work. Every few years someone says "What are you going to do when you get too old to skydive?" and I shit myself and get a job. Then I realise if I keep the job I'll never get old cos I'll die of bordom. (DZ.com is staving this feeling off at my present job.) It's a cycle. I'm due to toss it all in and skydive full time again in 2 years. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
