AggieDave 6 #26 October 5, 2002 Ok, right...I guess this is yet another victum of my very low amount of sleep/high amount of stress/studying week, and my inability to understand posts.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

riggerrob 643 #27 October 7, 2002 Your comments aobut pumpkins reminds me of an embarrassing accident 20 years ago. Despite the DZO's admonition to "take the spot long" a bunch of freefalling fools took a pumpkin with them. They lost it around opening time and it punched through the roof of a farm building. Fortunately there was no-one inside the building. That is the fastest way to convert a "nice guy" into a "farmer McNasty!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #28 October 8, 2002 I completely agree with Jose, unless you said stuff it I'm landing where they trew the balloon, just to see what happens, and you aren't going to tell us your that silly. So the onus is with the perpatrator of the drop , NOT, the victim. Just my 2cents worthYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJohnson 0 #31 November 7, 2002 I was at the boogie, and guy who organized this little adventure is a very saftey oriented person. It was announced that there was going to be a target shoot, EVERYONE was aware of it both on the ground and in the plane. I felt real bad for Shannon, but she did land in the target area. It would not sueprise me to find out that a few of the Byron boys helped flip the bill for th repair and if not, Shannon I will help you out.

jsaxton 0 #32 January 22, 2003 Better Idea is to NOT land near the target :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
