parachutist 2 #26 November 27, 2005 Quotea little critter. Shoot, can't think of the name of it, but some refer to it as possum on the hard shell. I think you're indicating an armadillo. The wildlife is fun down in Lake Wales. While Dean and I were out driving to pick up some jumpers who'd landed off, we saw some really tall cranes standing in someone's yard. They were about 4 feet tall and worth stopping to admire. What really made my day on Friday was flying back toward the DZ after an attempted big-way, looking down, and seeing a bald eagle soaring over a field a couple thousand feet below me. It had a very wide wing span. A local told me there's a pair of them, and sometimes they will soar next to canopies that are flying near them. It was a great week in Lake Wales!

Deployment mayhem and build the 100 way crw formation. And then have a 100 way formation swoop landing....... One of my all time favourite jumps was a 2 way exiting a porter. We chased the plane as it decended into a cloud. Then we got together and did some vrw (this was about 12 years ago BTW), then we turned some rw points, then we broke off and jubed it, then we deployed and did some crw, including a downplane, and finally landed right next to the hangar. I did this with a guy who now has many thousands of jumps and he still enjoys it as much now as he did then, so the vibe was there as well. Anyway, back to today. . . . .
