    Flying.


    We are "here" (this forum) for our love of flying.

    Everything else is secondary.

    :super: :super: :super:


    I'd rather be flying than down here right now....


    BTW: I am still a firm believer not to jump out of a perfectly flying airplane...

    :D

    When you touched-down did you get the feeling to run to capture the tower?


    If yes, you're playing WAY too much FH...

    If no, you're not playing enough........

    :D

    they ORDERED us to STAY with chute so DOSAAF folks can find these chutes in the grass. we were not allowed to pack chute because without experience we could tear them in pieces with boughs. but i really wanted to run for tower.
