John McMahon’s Invitationals

“Morning all, hey hey Dave, 1000 jumps, congratulations and thanks for the champagne, most enjoyable night, and day. The group did 4 jumps, unfortunately I was only on three so missed the most important jump of the day, Dave’s 1000th. So I can only report on the 1st three, they were great, check out the nice roundy at the end of the 1st jump, great geeks at the camera and on the 2nd jump I suggested we go the creepers, hard to imagine that isn’t it, as we had a couple of back ins (sorry Greg, outward facing docks), check out the video, very nice skydive. Tim took over video on the 3rd and 4th jumps so Dave played on them both, at least YOU didn’t go low on your 1000th, won’t mention who did but another day full of laughter and good company, thanks all I had a ball.

Next meet is the 11th of May, Dave is having surgery on his shoulder so will be looking for a camera person, or not, doesn’t matter cause we can always say we did all the points.
Anyway thanks for a great day.

Stay safe and remember, DON’T DO LOW HOOK TURNS“
