dqpacker 7 #5 April 8, 2011 First day was just sector practice, 5 jumps for all. Second day only got one attempt up 137 out of 168 docked. Today's weather is looking much better. First load is about an hour and a half away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dqpacker 7 #9 April 8, 2011 They had to land in the plane on attempt 3 because the clouds came down to 12,000 but it is starting to rise again. jumpers are on hold but are allowed to fun jump while waiting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulrowe 0 #11 April 9, 2011 Only 2 jumps managed today (plus the aborted lift due to cloud). Last jump was very smooth and built to around 164 with only a couple out. Tomorrow it will happen if the weather gods play fair! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dqpacker 7 #13 April 9, 2011 Today weather is clear but winds are predicted to be 25 to 30 mph. Meeting at 8am with jumpsuits. Hopefully those couple hundred jello shots from last night don't effect performance today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't a hard move, I'm sure if we'd had 2 or three more jumps we'd have nailed it. We spent a lot of time looking at low clouds instead....

mirage62 0 #23 April 11, 2011 Well a new TSR and a 168 in the book isn't a bad event, especially with the limited jumps. Obviously a very strong team. Congrads to all.Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
