Kat1221 0 #4 March 17, 2004 An intentional cutaway by the lower guy on a two stack leaving a ghost plane. He chopped it high, went into freefall for 15-20 second, pulled silver, then caught his freebag. Then he hooked the reserve, and swooped by the building with the freebag between his knees! Another one - Dumped high on a sunset load, and the pilot did a flyby when we were bumping end cells at about 6 grand - he was maybe 50 feet away, waving out the window... I think it counts, cuz I was a spectator! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yoink 321 #5 March 17, 2004 one of my early FF jumps - leg lock with a coach who points behind me. I look round to see the plane in a dive with the pilot waving at us - it felt so close that I could touch it! So cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piisfish 140 #7 March 17, 2004 everytime our pilot says hello with the plane seeing "big formations" at break altitude hearing speedskydivers seing Loic swoop the mountains while I was on my skis.

kris12 0 #10 March 17, 2004 a four way swoop by the PD team over the Packing Place tent in Z-Hills. I thought that I was going to get kicked in the head!

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

It looked like this big platform being built in space in a sci-fi movie. You could see the lines of divers, some diving, some flaring, some docking. Sadly you could also see a few people floating their little hearts out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites mattsplat 0 #14 March 18, 2004 I have one more.

Kinda, since I was turned away - point on a big wedge that was building - I had much more freedom than usual to just look at the sky and ground. (I know - I shoulda been paying more attention to how the formation was flying, but what can I say. . . ) Anyway, we were going to punch a very solid cloud (again, what can I say. . . ) The sun was about directly overhead and as we got closer to the surface of the cloud, a sun-dog on it got bigger and bigger and clearer and clearer, with a bulls-eye shadow of our wedge, which was causing it! Then of course, we punched right through the wedge-shadow bulls-eye. Way cool visuals - fantastic colors and the high speed shit of punching the cloud - took my breath away.
