I have 98 jumps. I go about every four year and do a couple
more usually on my wives birthday. She likes to do a tandem jumps. After
forgetting to pull her cord on her second tandem back in 1989 she
decided not to ever go solo. I have always wanted to do a HALO and a HAHO cross
country. And a balloon jump would be exciting.

Barney,
As a side note I wonder how many of the rotary
group have"Hit The Silk"
either intentionally or under severe pressure ?? I personally will have a
chute
strapped to me when I fly my A/C.........I took up the sport to be ready to
exit
an inflight situation that clearly was unlandable and/or unsurvivable
(structural failure, fire,etc).........Little did I know that it was fun
and turned
into another expensive hobby !! I did meet the objective as I now would
have
no problem leaving a bad inflight situation........FWIW

Reminds me of the old HALO days.... I've
seen some starting to loose it at 18,000 for a short time. Lucky Tracy.
Kelly. Ron and I both have a "couple" of
jumps. Maybe a leap into Shady Bend from a rotary. Hope this won't
give Tracy/Laura a heart attack.
The Oshkosh banquet had about 20 people show up
for ribeyes. Paul gave an unofficial talk on fuel systems and fuselage
structure in canards. Learned alot about flying 20bt's from Tom Parkes. Most
were coming back after last years banquet.
After the "banquet" in the garage during Oshkosh,
Ron and I went through my old rig. Getting an easy fix up in Kansas
from Ron who is also a rigger.
