Fleahop 0 #78 November 10, 2005 Hey Otter You and I both know that You have parted the sea's more than I. I wish I had half your tallent dealing with the FAA. But you know it's kind of like this with you and I......George Bush and the Pope were boating and the Popes hat flew off. George called to the captin and he made a radio call to the chase helo and the chase boats. In all the confusion to retrieve the Popes hat George just climbed out of the boat walked accross the water picked up the hat and walked back. The next day the headlines read...President of the United States George Bush can't Swim. That is how things are with these cert. and waivers. Thanks for all you do!

Sitting in that door from 1200 feet to altitude completing "in flight repairs" was pretty damn cold, but I tell ya, it was the best seat in the house. (Not to mention the satisfaction I felt, keeping her from trying to tear herself apart from the inside out...) We need to remember more duct tape next time though...

Thanks Flea Yup ... the new dates are gonna work out much better for me now because I'll be able to ride my hawg to Sturgis after The Convention this year [;-)]. The new dates also mean that - for the first time - The Convention will be in Rantoul while ten thousand University of Illinois students and staff are still in town before the end of the Summer Session. The first week of August around here is usually the deadest time - when everyone leaves town. Anyway, I think a blimp would be such a blast; it would be really fun for the jumpers as well as the extra spectators.

But she took too long to get to altitude and, just like the C-130, it can turn into a half-day ordeal to do a jump. I did one jump from Fat Annie last summer; only because it was a hop'n'pop.
