I just saw the pictures. Someone was nice enough to email them to me. THAT PLANE WAS TOTALLED!

I did a Tandem is San Marcos and then I found ASC by doing a Google search. I found the people there to not only be nice and encourage learning, but also very tight knit and always more hospitable than most larger DZs. The DZ owner is always courteous and the workers just plain and simple want everyone to succeed. The guy that wrote that post below, Joshua, had consistently not listened to directions when going through his AFF course. The first time he did a 270 degree turn below 300 feet to turn in to the wind and he was politely corrected not to do that again. This was his 10th jump. The very next weekend he failed to locate the DZ on the very same load I jumped on and flew his canopy downwind several miles. The DZ owner had a sit down discussion with him and asked him why he couldn't locate the DZ and his answer was "I don't know." She asked him what signs to look for to help locate the DZ like other jumpers, land marks, etc and he couldn't think of anything to help him locate it. She then started quizing him on items in the ISP and SIM and he could not seem to remember any of those either and then later admitted that he hadn't read them. She asked him not to return to Austin Skydiving Center. I then also learned that he was also asked to leave Saledo for the same reasons. -Paul Trowe USPA Coach, Austin Skydiving Center
