I dont have many jumps...but I jumped once or twice in a foreign country....the United States
Exited the aircraft over Mexico and landed in the US![[:/]](/uploads/emoticons/dry.png "[:/]")
The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
I am 19 now and was lucky enough to jump in Holland in 2001. I went through Dutch Airborne School in Texel. I did all 5 static line jumps out of the Antonov and then did 6 free fall jumps for fun out of the Caravan. The rounds were cool and the landings weren't so bad. However, I loved looking out of the Caravan at 14,000 ft and seeing nothing but ocean on either side. Skydive Texel is an awesome DZ with great people.

QuotePost: I'm new in the sport... however I think it doesn't matter if you dive or not. The majority of our packers at my home DZ do not jump. I would rather have someone who knows their stuff in charge of my life.
what the hell are you talking about?

Hey, Fergs,
Thanks for the challenge. Out came the log books, and so I'll take the risk of being called a "collector of countries", my list totals 45 different people's republics, commonwealths, dominions, crown colonies, kingdoms, and other oddball political entities. Scotland makes the list (separate from England) since the Bank of Scotland issued its own Pound notes. as does Jersey, I think.
I couldn't agree more with your sentiments. It has been a privilege to have traveled to so many fantastic places, and to have met and jumped with so many exceptional people. I just cannot imagine what life would have been like without skydiving.
As far as records go, Pat Moorehead might hold that. He's been damn near everywhere.
For Lazyfrog - yes, Gruyere is next on my list! For the 2004 World POPS meet!

Jim,
You are the Man!!!!
But yes, Pat Moorehead must be up there too. Either you or I need to email him and get him in to this forum .... mind you, he's on the road and travelling so much I wonder if he even gets time to do mundane stuff like emails, hahahaha
Blue Skies,

FANTATSTIC view and the DZO (Michel) is one cool guy. He'll do a two way with you just the heck of it.
Other than that all my jumps have been in the good old USA
