Unstable 9 #6 January 20, 2008 I've got at least 15 or so - pretty much all of them for free. One was at an airshow. I showed up with my rig, found the nearest cool helecopter pilot, and up we went! Granted, my S&TA knew nothing of this, it was right in front of a bunch of FAA goonies, and I had some 200 jumps then. It was a hoot! The other 13 or so were all at WFFC, one a morning for 2 years. I would go there every year, and I packed for a Tandem Master the whole time. I loved it. Well, he knew the Sikorsky folks really well, and every morning, he took one of them up for a Tandem out of their own chopper from 10k. As the Packer, I tagged along and had a hell of a time. =========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cocik 0 #9 January 20, 2008 did 3 AFF levels (5,6 & 7) from a russian Mi-8 kinda strange feeling to be on board with other 20+ jumpers (and the tricky backwards exit) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigway 4 #10 January 20, 2008 can i ask you what a 'semi-pro' paintballer is? Do you get paid for it? Jumping from a heli for aff is just awesome. Bet you had a blast .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christelsabine 1 #14 January 20, 2008 Super Puma jumps in Switzerland - a monster machine reaching altitude in about 3 - 4 minutes, exit velocity? About 160 km/h, no seconds to count - just jump! Jumps out of small heli Eurocopter, Switzerland too. Landscape in Switzerland is breath taking! Some jumps out of Alouette in Empuriabrava - I enjoyed these the most, absolutely wonderful: Few seconds falling into the absolute silence and - woah! Here we are again. Heli jumps are so special. dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 643 #18 January 21, 2008 Alouette II A-Star Chinook Huey I only paid for the jumps out of the A-Star ... at a Para-Ski Meet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #19 January 21, 2008 Probably nearly a hundred. Most of those were out of an MI8 which frankly is not really all that different than jumping a plane. A few out of Jet Rangers - those are REAL fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
