Big Doug's 65th!

 Posted October 10th, 2008 by Doug

Hi all,

Im not sure how many of you know my dad -- some of you may have seen him about Weston, or at Seville during the last two years at Christmas...

 

He's a skydiver anyways, who for various reasons often struggles to stay current. He's got 80-odd jumps or so and I was looking for some people to put together something nice and safe, but memorable for his 65th. This would be on Saturday the 1st of November. Any takers? Any ideas?

 

Would appreciate your help with this as he's said he'd like to do a skydive with me for his birthday, and would like to make it a bit special for him.

 

Cheers guys and gals,

Doug

.....I was being serious.....,but will probably bug out if smoke cannisters are involved, as not sure what experience is required to carry them (I've got 70'ish jumps)......

And I have it on good authority that smoke stains your clothes and canopy/lines etc!

Would be very cool though...rigs are washable surely?! ;-)

Steve would you give permission or does it cause issues for you?

Once the smoke stains your rig or clothes it's extremely difficult to get out and personally I wouldn't use it unless I was jumping an old rig )or someone else's!)  I don't have a problem with it being used though as long as the persons using it are qualified and briefed.

Yep, I think we'll give the use of smoke a miss this time...the jump is still on though, Mr Betts is in too, any other takers?
