More Skydiving

Over last weekend I planned to do my last skydiving of the trip. On Saturday 6th I went back to Pacific Skydivers at Pitts Meadow and spent most of the day there. There was no Otter this weekend so they were flying a C206 and a C182. I did a couple of jumps out of their 182. One of them a really nice three way with Kat and Dave -thanks. I must say their 182 not only is the smartest i82 I have been in - it looks brand new, but its by far the quickest. I understand its rated at 300 hp and climbs like a turbine for the first thousand feet. I was able to take some more photographs, some of them of the view on the way up, I have added these to my earlier posting. Everyone made me feel really welcome, special thanks to Debbie who made sure I got on slots whenever possible, it was a pleasure to jump at Pitts Meadow.

The following day I went back to Vancouver Skydivers at Abbotsford and did a couple more jumps. This time I got to jump out of the Porter and I was able to take more pictures, again some of them of the view as I was going up in the plane, I have also added these to my earlier posting. I did what was planned my last jump at Abbotsford, it was jump no 124. There is the possibility I might do one more as the local press want to do a storey about my visit and the reasons behind it. Thanks to Debbie and Gerry and all the crew for making me so welcome , special good wishes to Karen - keep fighting it and keep well. John 9/9
