[radio active fallout]

I used to jump there in the late 1970's.a twin beech out of van nuys .a one eyed pilot named "spike" he used to eat a carrot before take off at nite. I wont go into further details---but we threw the empties out---over ----well never mind.the name here is eric.its been so long ----some of you old timers may remember me. I (had) a brother that jumped there too.so I got outta jumpin cuz I bought a bote.not juss'that----I sailed it across the pacific several times.after spending 13 years in florida(wutz left of it} I got the kcuf outta there an' got back inta ----well I be D-18325.I did some jumpin in west palm----and other partsa florida.I wuz livin on a 30 foot sloop but the storms jus' keep gettin worse and worse.can you say "abandon ship?" so I got my reserve repacked and now I am back into this-----I am relocating back to california soon and will stop by.from what I can remember that was a no shull-bit landing area----a raised berm---looked like a bulls-eye from altitude----needed to ride back by truck---not at the same altitude as the runway.a few names I remember---richard roll,mike regester---ron shipe and his dog "bumpy", mike tulysumpinoranother,bill newell,got my scr(8012) with a guy named dar robinson---I think the cessna 185 was piloted by the sheriff---art armstrong----there is/was a bar called the lamplite----or something like that---dave olsen---I also remember a visiting lockheed lodestar that had an engine that kept stalling out----this was in the late 70's---a long time ago---people still had chest mounted reserves---that brings to mind a guy named "stinson"also a real short guy that was an IRS agent---forgot his name but he was on a tv show called "thats incredible" for doing then what is now called base jumping---from a truck going across that brigde ----now famous for "bridge day".any way I will be sure to jump there occaisionally but I am very conservative.back in my day there was no VRW."tandem" meant both canopies were on your back---"pig rig" comes to memory.there was "centry sentinals"---no cypress----3 rings were just coming on to the scene---otherwize it was "shot-n-a-half" capewells.the "cruiseair" was the controversial 5 celled reserve.there were stratostars and stratoclouds and PC's and 'dactyls.man----so much has changed----but the result of impact remains the same.
