Can Herpes Show Up Anywhere?

cap search

a reserve canopy has a skydiver always there, even if under normal circumstances is not particularly keen to use it. If it matters then it is happy that he's there. Yesterday it was at our place such a situation. One student was on her first jump with a bad feeling about the main screen, which did not open properly, and they separated from. A few moments later pulled the RSL the reserve and they hung securely on the screen. The RSL (Reserve Static Line) is a connection between the risers of the main cap and handle the spare cable grip. It ensures that the moment where the main cap is removed and flies off the reserve will be opened automatically. All Students at Albatros systems are equipped with them.

The main cap and the Freebag sailed away and the student has not made it to court and had her first field landing. According to unofficial skydiving rules were so this step three crates of beer due, namely one for the first jump, another for the first field landing and another first for the reserve - so cheers!

The schoolgirl was found relatively quickly, yet lacked the main cap and the Freebag in which the reserve is packed. Unlike the main screen is the pod of the reserve is not connected with the cap and flies away with the opening. By late afternoon I went with to seek Steffi and Katia, the student, set off by both. The pilot had previously explained to us, where the two parts have landed around.

After we have a long way by car had driven into the boonies, we went on four wheels no more on and we continued our way on two legs. Eventually we found ourselves on a Kuhwiese, being then in our opinion, very close to that described by Michael Point. We saw two groups of trees in the vicinity, but had no idea where exactly should we look for now. After a call on Michael manifesto circulated by plane again for the post and gave us a hint that again.

In between we had a Flock of bloodthirsty ruminating animals get to do that in a breakneck speed rushed on us:


dramatically over the injected form of representation is forgiven me here. Realistically, the critters were probably just curious, after you get since nothing else offered throughout the day. As three parachutists and a circling aircraft are already a real highlight. After we threatened to call the butcher, they then left us in peace.

After the tip from Michael and another 15 minutes, we've fought through a nearby wooded area, then we have actually the first Freebag and finally found the cap. Both, however, go too high in the tree, so that we could not hold himself:


And Freebag:


After all, we found both, and the recovery is then Today, either by professionals or mad that climb as high trees, carried out.

Medical Alert Wholesale

a shoe box with wings

once, I was the last weekend, not even to be found in Hart Holm, and although the weather certainly invited to skydiving. We, I mean a whole range jumper from Hartenholm, the drop zone Skydive Yuu have visited. Why? The Pink was there! As the skydiver quickly evident to the layman must be declared, so a short pink FAQ:

What is the Pink?
The Pink (actually have two of them) is a type CYPRES SC7 Skyvan , some of which is painted pink and parachutists cult character.

What makes Pink so special?
The two aircraft do nothing else all day as a paratrooper to get into the air. They look like a shoe box with wings and in Europe on the move. You have your own website and fan base.

What can the Skyvan? It has 25
Springer 15-20 minutes to 4.5 meters k, one can stand in it and jump out of a rear ramp. When launched, it smells even on the plane to kerosene. So anything can beat the parachutist's heart.


We were with some jumpers in Holo and have a formation at a time from the huge tailgate pulled out. All times in succession unlinked, but also Linked exits with 6 people were not a problem. The largest formation, we tried was a 9s. Where the emphasis is clearly on trying. Since we all had relatively few jumps (between 50 and 300) the whole thing degenerated often in air combat. Nevertheless, or perhaps because of,'s has really brought a lot of fun.

Here is a photo immediately after Exit:


Sunday evening Manuela has been done yet her 100th jump from the pink. And in a strange place she was not spared from the cake ;-) Ebrahim has a very cool video cut together this weekend.



Update:
Hansi, pilot of the Pink, has reminded me that there are now even four of the planes are in pink color and not just two. Thanks for the note and I find it cool that he somehow found my blog and has read the article. :-)
