Gary, it's cool that you have been through my neck of the woods..  Don't worry about the time in the air; I only have 54 hours..  But, mine is in freefall (not including floating under the parachute).  

Sparky, our dropzone pilot is retired Air Force.  Mike has jumped out before - with us skydivers.  He said after all the years flying in the plane he wanted to see what all the fuss was about..

We always tell people:  If "Flying" a plane is flying to a pilot; then they must consider rowing a boat swimming.... 

Thanks for the reminder on the building board. I used one as a desk/building area in my last place.  I have a good, flat, metal framed folding table that I used as a side table before.  If I need more room for the wing I might go back to the door.
