If you're at Toogs it's my fave time of year to jump - glorious crisp clear air and wonderful blue skies.
Hope to see you guys out there.

Woohoo! good news.  I'm no longer unemployed so I can afford to jump a bit more frequently.

Was looking down the barrel of doing one jump at a time for months to finish the AFF but now should be able to punch out a few jumps in the next few weeks.

Very happy about that

booked in to start AFF @ Picton on the 3rd March hopefully weather holds

Well went and done AFF1 ground training today, excellent experience unfortunately the weather gods didnt allow better conditions to do the actual jump (I swear the new rules are build a desal plant and you guarantee steady rain for the next 5 years except WA).

Found the instruction and learning methods really top notch.

Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow morning.

Blue Skies (please)

With that sort of dedication, you should ask about getting your DZSO rating.

well after a bit of wait got to jump around 10am still a little cloudy. 2 jump cloud was lighter awesome experience funny you dont get to think Im falling from the plane, you just go into the routine as taught by the instructions.
