I GOT A JOB!!!!

Great news I just found out for sure that I have a paying job starting on Monday 4th September! I will be packing tandem parachutes, which is pretty hard work, but it's also much better paid than the other job I was likely to get which was general ground staff. My job description is also really simple and finite as I'm only paid for every parachute I pack! Ground staff on the other hand are paid by the hour and therefore have to appear constantly busy in order to justify their existence! So all in all the job suits me down to the ground, however I may need to find myself some knee pads!

This is a picture of my new canopy (not me under it), it's a 120 sqft HiPerUSA Nitro www.hiperusa.com and it kicks ass! It's the first canopy I've flown where I can get myself way higher than the canopy during a turn! I'll post some in flight photos soon. Plus it's NZONE colours which always goes down well!
