Cajundude 0 #1 May 6, 2004 Went to do my tandem today and ended up doing two tandems, ground school and my first two STPs. All I can say is sweeeeeeeeeet! I guess I am starting off spoiled. All of my jumps were out of the Super Otter. I can't wait for my next jumps and oh, by the way, I STOOD BOTH OF MY LANDINGS on STP 1 and STP 2!!!!!!! Now, I guess I will start selling everything to make that next jump. Thanks to all (especially Aggie Dave) that helped me make up my mind on which route to go as far as tandem vs. AFF. I think either way I would have been fine but in the long run I would suggest tandem first to anyone who asks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guys and gals at Spaceland are some squared away folks, I'm really happy that you've gotten this far already. The best is yet to come!

Remember, now anything you read hear needs to be checked with your instructors. Daniel was the tandem classroom intructor, Elio was the tandem instructor while Mykel the camera man. Then all of my STP was done by Mykel. Excellent drill sergeant. Very thourough, I will definitely stick with him throught the rest of the student status. I think it is better to know more than not enough.
