brettski74 0 #15 May 11, 2009 I guess that depends on where you are. When I was jumping in Latvia, it was customary to drink champagne on the ride to altitude for someone's 100th jump. There was also more ritual on the ground after the jump. I don't recall the bottle being thrown out the door, but there was a town underneath, so I doubt that would've gone well. The bottle was secured up front somewhere. I've not seen this anywhere else, so if you're in eastern europe, this is kinda normal, but if you're in most other places, you'll probably find things like being pied, thrown in a pool/swoop pond, thrown in the swoop pond and then pied and/or tequila shots might be more typical for 100th jump rituals. As for the AN-2, there is nothing normal about jumping out of an AN-2. It's got twice as many wings and goes about half as fast as anything else. The thing flies like a bus... that flies. Actually, it's like a bus in many ways except for the flying part. Everything happens in slow motion and when the pilot does the cut, you'll think he's actually parked it stationary up there. I was particularly impressed with my very first ride where the sputtering, smoke and sound effects made me feel like I was in an Indiana Jones movie. I could go on, but it was an experience. Other than that, perfectly normal stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sangi 0 #16 May 11, 2009 I love AN-2, made quite a few jumps from it.. Yeah it's old, noisy, smelly and not really efficient but it's quite safe and comfortable (the ride up and the exit). Oh and looove when the pilots do the roller coaster thing going up and down and us kissing the ceiling "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today."

The plane that I jumped last weekend has a small hatch (~1 foot) with hole in the floor covered with glass/plexi. It is very interesting to look ground below from this perspective.
