Log Book 11-10-11 / Post Tunnel - What a BLAST

Thank You Lord ...
Even though things have been a "little tough" these past few weeks ( and by all accounts may get a little tougher ) I had the WONDERFUL Gift and opportunity to fly in the tunnel - TWICE - this week !
The FSL Monthly Tunnel Kicker was held on Tuesday evening
Many of the "regular participants" were there - along with a few NEW ones as well
I am still trying to make some "connections" in hopes of putting together a future Team or at least have access to some quality belly flyers
No luck again this gathering but - I was able to get in some pretty good 4 way practice with Bob, Ari, Kurt and a get named Kirk - who is part of the Para Commandos from Z Hills.
Flying in the tunnel is a passion of mine ...
It allows me to concentrate on the body piloting aspects of skydiving without having to deal with the plane ride to altitude, exits, deployments and landings
Ummm ...
I know - I NEED to work on these skills but - tunnel flying is SO Much FUN !
Wednesday night I was able to do it again with my New Friend Yvonne.
She has about the same number of jumps as I do but way more tunnel and - her boyfriend - Ari - is an accomplished flyer and coach himself
No matter
We had a BLAST
( I even smiled - some )
