    I thought the GKs were more professional, and smarter than that. That's a fact - Jack ! ! !

    It took 80+ old geezers landing downwind for the dz to realize the winds had changed 180 degrees.

    I've only been there once but the staff is friendly and competent. Some of them are ex-Hinckley jumpers. You might also want to take a look at SkyKnights in East Troy, WI[/url]

    Holy crap! Did that dude get his ass chewed out for that? Actually it was planned. Two 100-ways dirt diving simultaneously. Pictures were taken of it from the air and the photographer (J.C. Colclasure ?) jumped out then swooped over the two formations filming it from that angle too! Sweeet ! ! ! Group 2 rocks

    Are these pictures real, or just conjectured, or what? How were the pictures photographed/constucted? I was wondering that too. From a NASA related site: ". . graphics are computer generated images of objects in Earth orbit that are currently being tracked. " http://orbitaldebris.jsc.nasa.gov/photogallery/beehives.html

    A buddy of mine mentioned this the other night - now I just gotta find someone to teach me. Look for me at Hinckley. I'll be one of the few people you'll see packing that way.

    When in doubt, whip it out. Get in or go in. If you take the formation out don't bother to pull.

    There's no way to make multiple selections or choose all of the above. Primary method was flailing around with other like-minded individuals combined with jumps including mentors & more experienced skydivers (consider that I started skydiving in the 1970's). More recently . . . there was a noticeable improvement in my skydiving ability after attending a couple of Airspeed tunnel camps.
