I've wanted to Skydive ever since I was tiny.

Maybe soon I'll have the money to take lessons locally!

Thx for site DW, just makes me want it more!

If you're still thinking about it, don't look at the BLOOPERS video ... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED  :D

My personal favorit from the pictures is this:

Speaking of bloopers, I can remember a guy in one of our loads who needed to re-qualify by doing a static line drop and do a dummy ripcord pull...he exited the A/C, then pulled not the dummy ripcord, but his reserve, now he had two chutes fighting one another and *almost* tangled into a roman candle before he wised up and cut away his main canopy.  For all of us witnessing this, it was a scary moment...he was so close to a bad day...same day another newbie found the only tree within 3 miles of the drop zone, took a fire truck with a big extension ladder to get him down.

That has GOT to be an honor to fly one of the ugliest looking airplanes, with one of the best looking outrageous paint jobs, with an aircraft that has wings that don't seem as though it would support flight! Hehehe!  <S> Duck!

The cool thing about "the shed" is that i can load my Ford Escort on it  :)
or my Bosses BMW 3 Cabrio ... i prefere flying the Cabrio out tho it's easier to get in and out once it's loaded.

Nut hot damn yea it's fun to fly .. THE SHED !

Well in that case Duck, when I sell me BMW 330Ci, and buy an M3 in two years, could you pick it up at Regensburg for me and fly it to Washington state?  :D  :D

You pay, i fly Rip!

le'mme see.. Thats about say 50ish hours * 1.200$ = 60.000$ Us

I guess you wouldn't like too much that we have to put the ferry tank into your new car(Jet A does no good on eather interior)

 :D
