Hi

I remember “The Wreck”.

Wendy he passed many years ago. Sorry. https://www.dropzone.com/forums/topic/119711-rip-rev-jim/

Doing great!!

Bigun that's the helicopter (rotorcraft) requirement. For Airplanes it's 30 minutes reserve.

Meso my man...you have some serious Nomex you're wearing to withstand this flaming. I feel your pain. I'll get used to it. Each forum we always do. Those saying they'll never read here again are silly. Just like people who say "I'll never fly this airline again!" Yah, sure. They always buy a next ticket. Or if they leave they don't announce it. They just go and don't worry about it. Hats off to you Meso. I think I might read more. ;-) ...old member of the WRECK and original Dizzy.com.

Perhaps the most "interesting" jump was the early morning attempt where everyone's visor froze over due to the -34F exit temperatures. About 20 people took their helmets off so they could see. We landed and started walking back; we were back to the hangar before we heard the first "thud" of a helmet landing nearby. Wasn't my call. Just glad we didn't die on the sunset load where the cockpit windows iced over and we all lost sight of each other on the left wing. Then we brought the formation around again and the lead skyvan ran out of oxygen. Landed with the load and one guy in my plane was crying because he couldn't jump out.

Are you kidding? I happen to know Randy does a SHIT ton for skydivers and airport access and keeps FAA at bay more than you know. Yes, DZs do have rough interactions with the FAA. Some even deserve it. But I have seen the efforts that have saved many operations. Yes, USPA is worth it. Chris Schindler www.diverdriver.com ATP/D-19012 FB #4125

Has anything been added to it? Wingtip extensions? Gap seals? New prop? Step? These things can add weight. We're the things removed properly accounted for? When was the last weighing of the aircraft? Chris Schindler www.diverdriver.com ATP/D-19012 FB #4125
