At the first jet-jump, I don't know,  google can't find it (737?) (Quincy?)

But the pilot didn't get the memo,  and everyone blew out at 300mph.

It caused major bruising, and torn appendages, and ripped-open chutes all blown into pieces.

And all the girl's suits came off and their boobs came out.

I grew up with a very small dz in Texas.

My first jump in Carolina was at a much larger place.

My first jump.  I forget the plane. A group of four or five went.  A group of four or five went. A double went.  A triple went.

I was last..  Solo.  The solo guy in front of me went.

I looked out, saw the airport.  I went.

But it was the wrong airport.  A whole town away.

I was a noob.  I didn't know.  It looked like the airport.

Most of the big groups land "downtown".  One guy signed my log book as "The Chevy Demo".

I immediately knew we were over a town,  and was massively confused.

Under canopy,  I followed the solo guy in front of me.

We landed in the middle of a ten-acre garden.

The old fat bent-lady in the middle of the garden said, "What's the ******* matter with you?"

Then we said we were sorry,  and she said to make sure we shut the gate behind us.

So we walked to the highway,  and were just standing there, chutes hanging over our shoulders',  for a long time,  when a van full of skydivers came by and said to get in.

After that spectacle....  some French team was practicing, incognito, at our tiny DZ, for a competition.  They actually aborted their routine on that jump and watched my acrobatics, from afar,  because it looked so bounce-ish.

Then they laughed at me and made me their mascot. They called me, "farting boy".

"Hey!  Farting boy!  Zat yu farting on the plane? You farting boy!"

But it was Ok.  Because I got to hang around them, while they ridiculed me, in French, for two weeks, and constantly supplied me with very good beer and hot French girls ("Iz ziss zee farting boy?!?")

So, you're the original fart boy? :)

Yeah, that was Quincy.  There was **** scattered for miles.

 

ETA:  It was a 727.

I don't think he was flying,  but someone stalled the Casa on jump run.  I saw the videos.

A bunch of people were on the tailgate,  all the others doing whatever.

Then the guys on the tailgate just started floating.  They all let go and floated away.

Everyone else,  all banging around and going upside down,  managed to crawl, run, kick, out.

The outside video showed people just spilling out, all willy-nilly.

The plane did a full 360 barrel roll,  and they restarted and flew off.

Here's the video:

Good news.  I'm used to that!  I've run a lot of code (not computer type).

Like the sounds of the ocean.

Love the news stand by the PD.  Cleaver touch, I'd say!
