StreetScooby 5 #26 October 5, 2006 The dropzone I learned at was a Cessna dropzone that did static lines (...long time ago). I remember being on the ground hearing the jump master scream at some student who was standing on the wheel, but refusing to let go. They did a go around, with the student on the wheel. Pilot finally had enough, and unlocked the brake on the wheel Problem solved.We are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomvailco 0 #27 October 5, 2006 QuoteWhat I cant understand is why the instructor didnt jump? If I was a TI/AFFi and a student refused to jump I'd say well its a shame to waste the altitude. Bye. Because the instructors have to stay with their students. What would the students think if they did that??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomvailco 0 #28 October 5, 2006 QuoteOn the way to height I was sitting at the back of the XL facing forward so I could see everyone face to face. Now every now and then some one lets on rip in the plane. Fair enough. Except this time the smell lingered for a little bit too long. Looking forward to the tandem master sitting up on the step making crazy eyes at his passenger who had dropped his entire load on the way to height. Now thats ALL bad... I don't care what the AGL is!

I have a friend who did AFF. Afterwards all he could say was "No one told me it would be so noisy!". Apparently he didn't want to continue because he got such a fright when he jumped out and the wind made such a noise. I think he thought it would be all calm and peaceful. hahaOnly skydivers know why the birds sing; they don't have to pack a parachute!

GPSJane 0 #50 October 17, 2006 Funny thing; I forgot to be scared on my first jump. The second was a different story all together. I have a friend who did AFF. Afterwards all he could say was "No one told me it would be so noisy!". Apparently he didn't want to continue because he got such a fright when he jumped out and the wind made such a noise. I think he thought it would be all calm and peaceful. hahaOnly skydivers know why the birds sing; they don't have to pack a parachute! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
