Skylord Has One to Go

[skylord 1]

I'm there. One to go. All A license requirements are out of the way, except two. My self packed main awaits me, on my upcoming 25th jump. So this will be a combo jump. Check dive, and pack job jump.

I review the packing sequence in my mind, it really isn't as hard as I made it, organize the lines, the cells, the slider, folds, and keep control at all times of a canopy that wants to open on the ground MORE than it wants to open in the air!!

Anyway, in advance I just want to say that I am so looking forward to this Sunday. I have absolute confidence in my supervised pack job. I have absolute confidence in the training provided me by every instructor at Elsinore and Perris (wind tunnel).

This is going to be fun. And when it is done, I will post the Reader's Digest recounting of my little journey to the A license.

It isn't luck, it is training. If I can do it, anyone can.

When I went through AFF, a long, long time ago, there was no tunnel training for first pack jobs!
I should be around on Sunday to taste some of the beer you shall be buying.
