10,500 reminded me of the old days waving people off and pulling the ripcord
Perhaps.....ahhh, nm
This makes me nervous just to look at
Poncho,
What the hell are you doing waving people off at 10,500? I personally don't wave off till 1,500...
fee
Best time of my life was at 12k... <evil grin>
very nice pictures and grats
in the words of John Madden, "people just shouldn't be up in those things"..
but then again, he also said: "When your arm gets hit, the ball is not going to go where you want it to." -- John Madden
Congrats and nice pics of home )

If you were near alpine supprised you didn't take pictures of McDonanld observatory.... It's pretty cool looking on top of the mnts.
BTW Gratz...
Grats sir on your license. Nice pics btw.
/sigh
My dad used to have an airplane - a Cesna 172. He would take us up at least once a weak - do barrel rolls and what not. GOD how I miss those days.
Gratz to you and your license - VERY cool. If I had the cash I would love to persue flying as a hobby for sure.
Pics look sweet. Bring back many memories.
Keep the shiney side up
Grats on getting ur Primate Pilot license. And welcome to the land of the BFR. Which I got to do now. I think I will get a tail wheel check out.
Wave off at 10,500? Hehehe in a 182 I was happy to get 9,500 after a 25-30min climb to altitude.
Wave off at 1,500? Heh, not and keep jumping at the couple of drop zones I frequented. Although on ocassion you could get away with a pull at that altitude, you just couldn't make a habit of it and continue to be allowed to jump at the DZ.
Wave off normally was 3,500-4,000, pull was generally no lower than 2,500. When the altimaster II was beginning to enter the "red" area, which was a small hint.
1500+ jumps, just not any in the last 4 years...
Blueskies,
