cool! 6, 4, 3 & 1 were my faves...

My heart sank as soon as I saw the wing spin in the video...
I am so happy to hear that you are in pretty good shape considering the looks of the fall!
Wish you a quick and full recovery Jim!

Pretty cool. thanks for sharing with another bored H-2. Just when I manage to make time to go fly it seems there is some other obstacle. rain, santa ana winds, river running through the LZ.... aaaaaaaahhhh Now are we going to see rain again on Saturday when I thought we might be able to fly again???...

I had no issues at all with the way Crestline handles the fee collections. The few times I was approached it was very pleasant. Often there isn't anyone around for this task but they have a nice area to handle the form completion, pen and envelopes available and location to deposit your fee and waiv...

One more gold star for Joe's efforts to keep our LZ up and running!
Thank you Joe!

Mike, So glad to hear you are already on the road to recovery and not headed for some lengthy surgeries, etc... I am unfortunately one of the group of low hour Falcon pilots mentioned earlier that made a poor judgement call that cost me a good thumping into the ground. I also am thankful to be able ...

Wow! I think that is really cool! thanks for sharing.

Hey Don. The reference to 16+ years appears to be regarding the age of the policy/guideline and not the min...

Funny Oscar. I think my posts were done during the time when the site was having some access issues...

Thanks for the update Jim. Look forward to the time when we can have some work parties for our new gazebo construction.
Thanks to Hiro for his continued efforts as well.

So, Bill, tell us: just how excited about this video are you? Or have you been posting using The Rome Dodson Guide to the Internet? Hmmm must be the Rome Dodson Guide methods since I cannot recall doing it at all..... maybe someone snuck in and changed my message?!?!?!?! Um, ok, not really. But not...

Wow! That was a really great video! I had not idea they could reach speeds even close to 200MPH!

pretty cool. thanks for sharing.

Thanks for writing up your experience. I strongly hope that those who read this take these experiences to heart and are able to avoid greeting their inner-demon :twisted: ... Such an amazing sport, but the inherent dangers are very real and should not be ignored at any point from prepping our equipm...

this was a great trip! had to be there to appreciate the beauty of the area and experience the antics that happened throughout the weekend! Thanks to all who helped to make this so great! Organizers, drivers, provision providers, cooks, and really to everyone that was there supporting the pilots, sh...
