N3 Neptune

The N3 Neptune by Alti-2 is an Audio visual altimeter with a logbook function; very customisable and very feature-rich. I own two of these devices. I have 500-600 jumps on one, which I use as a primary visual altimeter (on a wrist mount) and 300 jumps on the other as an audible device (in my […]

Social Tunnel Scrambles

Once upon a time, flying in the wind tunnel was a self-contained, even clandestine process. Leaving Deland at 2am, driving 2 hours in the dark to climb a concrete tower, it was as lonely as a base jump. Perhaps you’d nod at another group as they passed on their way down but that was the
