Yo Jumper

[gae]

We have a friend who wants to jump out of a perfectely good (or held together by duct tape) airplane.

Still got an in at the DZ in IN?

[jumper69]

Why yes! Yes I do....

I'm friends with the head rigger, one of the AFF instructors and the owner of the DZ...

What's up?

[Lew]

Jumper wants us to be impressed with the fact that he has jumped out of planes.

Big deal HE USED A PARACHUTE.

So typical of a Ranger.

Now, in the Jag Corps, they jump out of planes WITHOUT CHUTES.

See the difference?

Lew lew lew....

The plane actually has to be IN THE AIR for it to be considered a jump!!

I know JAG is tough but once the plane leaves the ground all bets are off. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Jumper,
We have a friend who wants to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. It looks like Trav is going to live up to his screen name and spend the next 6 to 8 weeks elsewhere, so will you send me a PM with your email address? Then you can give Jon the particulars.

Warezee going now? My last 2 biz trips were to Peoria IL and Indianapolis IN so ya know his trips seem kinda exotic.

[gae]

Nothing exotic, Lan. The upside is that he's taking the bike, it's spring and the riding should be good.

The facility sits right on the river. I can bass fish during lunches.

[Lew]

Um.....well.....yeah, I thought you meant while the plane was still on the ground....

Having traveled in that general direction (and coming back by another route) within the last week, I have a suggestion.

It would be WAY more scenic, the road is in better shape, and there is less traffice on I-68 instead of I-70. Oh, and there is no toll and the speed limit is higher. And the rest stops are So! Much! Nicer!


I-70 Pennsylvania Turnpike avoidance maneuver:
From I-70 East, at Washington, PA, take I-79 south to Morgantown, WV. Then go on I-68 east until you pick up I-70 again in Maryland. Just a few more miles and you are headed south on I-81.

I learned about I-68 on this trip and will NEVER use the Pennsylvania Turnpike again unless a more northerly destination forces it.

You probably already knew about this, but I didn't and wish someone had told me before I left.
