    As a chopper pilot myself, I think you'll find the ones that aren't spot friendly are not fond of jumping themselves....Find a pilot that jumps and you'll get a good spot!!! Just show me the door....

    Having smoked (and repeatedly quit) for quite a while I know what you mean about feeling pants when an attempt to quit fails....But DON'T stop trying to quit!!! I cannot remember what number attempt this is but I am smoke free a year now and my mantra every morning is Quit Again Today. I used to think once I'd lasted a month I'd be fine but it'd come back and bite me on the ass. Besides, if you quit, the extra money's great and you'll hack up less furballs.... Just show me the door....

    I have only done 13 jumps so far. I did them over 3 1/2 days in Oz and got to my b rel stage 6. I've had to come back to the Uk and haven't found a DZ yet but when I do I'm not sure what to do. I need 4 more accuracys to get my A licence but I haven't done a solo jump yet. Should I do more coached jumps in the UK before going solo or can I go solo straight away? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Just show me the door....

    Most memorable? It's gotta be AFF 5 or AFF 9(hop n pop). AFF 5 was at sunset so the time under canopy was incredible. The jump had gone really well and had time before the pull to geek with my JM. And AFF 9 was fab cause the rest of the load was an 8 way of friends/JMs going to 12000. My JM hung out the door grinning at me til I dumped.It was last load of 2003 as well!!! Quick question for anyone that knows.... DZ's close to London that have throwaway pilot chute rigs? Just show me the door....

    Yet another new addict!! I've just returned to the UK from Australia, where I became a jump pig I managed to do my AFF course in 2 1/2 days and got so utterly hooked I went back on my day of departure (late flight) to squeeze in some B rels. Can't quite get over how utterly amazing 5 mins can be...Bring on the blue skies! Just show me the door....
