LouDiamond 1 #5 July 3, 2008 If you're talking about the one thats just a +/X and is fairly small, it's made out of pieces of a VS-17 panel thats been sewn into an +/X shape and has 550 tie downs on the ends."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rbsheffield 0 #9 September 22, 2008 QuoteIs there any Golden Knights on this forum? Got a Question to ask them and if maybe anybody knows of an email to contact the human resourse department. As many times Ive stomped on that target with 2 smoke canisters w/slag still hot and somebody wants a target? Generally placed into a T shape letting everyone know which way the ground wind is blowing. And also this is the hold sign with the target in a "T". Only when the show is ready will the target leg be extended into an "X". And there is one more go around before the first exit. ie... flag jumper for the National Anthem, soon as he lands then there maybe a delay so the ground control would put the target back into a "T", then when ready again the X, then the next pass is hot! I believe the dimension were about 20'x20' and 3 feet wide of a burlap bag material so that leaves you a black center square with a 5" diameter circle for the deadcenter mark. The ends have a sown in pack weights to keep the wind from dragging it across the taxiway in times of high winds.

Skydivesg 7 #10 September 22, 2008 OK. Since there seems to be some GKs on this thread. Has anyone ever heard of a GK from the 70s named Charlie "Wallbanger" Hall? You may not know the "Wallbanger" part, but suffice it to say I use to run a bar on the Sioux City airport and he helped us promote a particular drink. He was an excellent "promoter". I would love to know how he's doing and maybe even talk to him. Thanks Sandy GrilletBe the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robskydiv 0 #15 September 25, 2008 I'm not a Golden Knight or a Demo jumper (yet). But I have jumped with some of the 101st's demo guys and they are pretty good. I've hit the target so many times (even once lately), w/ my nine cell Falcon 265, that by now I have legitimately earned my D-License. Harry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
