Lima Bravo
"Lima Bravo on two three with 13 Spring. "For the second time I heard this phrase on the headphones. Only what it means and why headphones? It was the voice of our pilot Michael that I was hearing. I was sitting in our CYPRES exception, not even back in skydiving gulf but the front of the copilot's seat of Cessna 208B Grand Caravan in civilian clothes, but restrained, and armed with headphones and microphone, the identification of the aircraft D-FALBE is.
Hence "Lima Bravo" because Lima and Bravo are the key words in the NATO alphabet for the letters L and B. Then it is also clear that "with 13 jumpers" means. And two Three "the landing path is the drive we wanted. In Hartenholm there are two: "two three" and "zero five." Both are ultimately the same take-off and landing strip, a distinction, however, the direction. With "two Three" the direction 230 ° mean. Zero degrees is north, so we wanted to run in a southwesterly direction with 13 skydivers on board.
the second time I heard that sentence, because the first attempt to have about an hour before, to bring the jumper in the air was frustrated by bad weather. Michael broke the climb just after take-off and the plane landed after a flight full of busy traffic pattern. The second attempt looked better, the sky cleared at a Particular place and that was the hole in the clouds that we wanted to make.
took Michael arrived at 4,000 meters the release of weaning, were reasons light and Springer made their way towards the ground. Shortly before the last one was reported out of the Michael Tower "Lima Bravo dropping complete". Immediately after the last tandem jumped, Michael tore the plane around and we went into a nose dive. We flew almost parallel to the last tandem towards the floor. Michael took the control again in a different direction and I could see the duo slowly disappear in the clouds. What followed were some
maneuvers, who think in this case still virginal sense of balance properly mixed brought. The eyes saw something completely different than the rest of the body perceived, and the brain was like someone wants to piss me here. An incredibly cool feeling that everything that has clearly experienced in any roller coasters in the shade.
Back at the bottom, the bad weather finally broke in upon Hartenholm and it was nothing more that day. Anyway, I was satisfied and had my experience, because: Only flying is better!

Are Koyambedu And Kmbd The Same
jump Geil
was recently not much in terms of skydiving. Also reflected by the fact that my last post is over a month ago and I've done in that time just 16 jumps. For the summer months August, is far too little, I think. Main reason was the weather but even in recent weeks, which I was in the non-skydiving holidays - drink with the guys on Fehmarn - must also be times. Well now the season is almost over and it is all still in exploiting available opportunities.
So at last weekend: the weather was again mediocre. Saturday morning when I'm awake, I could only hear the rain patter on my window and I've quickly turned around. When I had finally tortured out of bed, I looked briefly on the Facebook page of albatross, with the motto: the hope dies last. Since there was written but smooth:
The weather remained changeable throughout the day. In the 30-minute intervals, the weather changed from 10 liters of rain per minute on a square to the completely blue sky. Three jumps were in it for me, and given the murky circumstances, a successful day. Even if I am the wind at a landing in the cornfield kidnapped.

We want try it again ...From that's was hectic. Finally, it was shortly after 11 and I was suddenly hot. For all non-jumpers do I need this word to explain briefly (extract from the lexicon Skydiver):
jump operation from 9:00 clock
jump horniness, the, -, adj. jump horny, emotional state in which a skydiver is, if he did not jump a long time. The sharp horny person is mentally unbalanced and unpredictable, as soon as the theoretical possibility of a drop jump is, these ad hoc but can not be exercised. The ability to reason is severely limited or completely. This condition can only by staying on a drop zone and / or be disarmed by jumping from a plane in flight induced adrenaline rush. There are reports of severe cases of the jump lust that led to the setting of food intake or to the financial and social bankruptcy.As I said, I had just gotten up. So quick shower and breakfast. The toaster cursed because he apparently took twice as long for each disc as usual the weather outside is just better. I quickly grabbed the stuff inside the car and as soon as it went towards the motorway. Especially in Hamburg on the highway's begins at once to pour as there'd be no tomorrow. The situation will be something that I continue with cozy 130: It's raining now and I can not jump at the moment anyway. Shortly after Kaltenkirchen tears open the sky, do not ask how long can that be, but full throttle. Each is creeping, with 150 in the left lane declared a personal enemy. Finally arrived at the drop zone - aahhh.
