I remember one of my landings under a 35 footer as I pounded in trying to PLF in a dirty plowed field on a hot summer day. And I'm sure as I laid there on my back with all this gear on including an old motorcycle helmet, trying to catch my breath, partially covered by my trusty old T10, and watching the cloud of dust that I generated swirl up about me that I must have looked like that poor guy at the end of the skydiving sequence in the movie Fandango!! Yep, those were the days when skydivers were men and the women knew it!! Yee-haaa....._____________________________ "And when the prophet shall arise who appeareth as a bird then the time of the Lord draweth nigh and the flock shall rule the earth."

DrewEckhardt 0 #29 January 5, 2004 A year, 100 jumps, or present for beer a bunch of weekends in a row (whichever comes first). I paid $1700 for my first rig in 95/96. Prices haven't changed too much. If you buy from a private party, you probably won't e able to make payments - although your bank may make a personal loan.
