People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

The jumps went great. Got 6 lifts in all. The winds on the DZ were questionable on our last drop and I took a digger and got dragged for a while, but that's what the man pays me to do, so, hoo ya... whatever

Depending on what kind of jump we're doing, we usually pull at 3500. You have to remember, we're not sporting, we're trying to get 16 guys with 200lbs of gear to all land within a couple hundred yards of each other with huge, sluggish, slow canopies. We usually jump at 13000 because that's where our 02 regulations start kicking in. We have jumped from over 29,000 before, but it takes a LOT of working up to, and a lot of time sitting there pre-breathing oxygen - like 4 hours sucking on a tube - to purge all your residual nitrogen from your body so you don't black out. It's some scary shit. When the ramp goes down at that altitude, and you get a good panoramic view, you can see the curvature of the earth.
We can also pull high right after exit, everyone on O2, stack on the low man that has a compass/gps and use the winds upstairs to push us many, many miles. It's tricky, and sometimes, even requires a bit of luck, but it works well when you can't get an aircraft near the desired landing zone.
