xmasamakerx2 0 #4 March 29, 2011 Sorry im still trying to learn all of the Skydiving abbreviations, im not quite sure what AFF stands for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyShawn 0 #5 March 29, 2011 Its the "accelerated free fall" class/program. 7 jumps with instructors to get cleared for solo jumps by yourself. Then from there you work on your "A" license (25 jumps). Then you can exit with your friends out the plane. Or was it a tandem jump? Either way, welcome! Im glad you had fun!

popsjumper 2 #10 March 29, 2011 Give Becky a hug and a kiss for me. A big hello to Nancy and MD. A poke in the ribs for Timber. A slap on the back Don. And a handshake for everyone else at Emerald Coast. Welcome to the big blue skies! My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
