Looooove that movie. Just watched it again this summer with some of my 8-way teammates ... the owner of the house where we were renting rooms had a DVD copy.

There needs to be a "Gypsy Moths" freestyle competition...

Bonus points will be awarded for:

- Using excessive talcum powder on your main canopy for visual effect
- Humming it down low enough to hear the event m/c tell you to "PULL IT!!!"
- Actually using a rip-cord to deploy your main
- Firing a pilot chute at a crowd of women
- Dropping 100lbs of paper flyers out of the jump plane over a populated area telling everyone how awesome you are
- Fabricating your own wingsuit for a "cape jump" (additional points for actually using wood or aluminum in its construction)
- Using a camera heavier than Carl Boenish's (you may substitute a cinder block affixed to your helmet if needed)

Points will be deducted for:

- Having a total and bouncing (but you get points back if the spot was good)
- Pulling your ripcord completely out of the pack
- Using break-away pants ('cause frankly no one wants to see that)
- Not being able to remove your entire rig before your main touches the ground and produce a microphone
- Having to ask someone with grey hair what a "Para-Commander" is
- Not yelling "5 left!" and "cut!" at your pilot regardless of the type of aircraft you're in before exit

There are a few of us, here, who have a lot of jumps out of 418. She was a lot of fun (like most planes) But hey! This was THE plane. She's got a fond place in quite a few hearts.

Every time I jumped from her, this was always in the back of my mind, " She's a special bird."

Full size lobby poster on the wall. Several lobby cards on the wall. Full size lobby poster in Spanish in the closet. DVD in the drawer.

As to the list above - got about 5 of those.

Still working on getting rounds in all the colors to use.

Boobs, Coors, and "Jumpin" don't get any better...

I tried really hard to stay awake, but was unable to. I'm searching to see when it will re-air.

No, but I set my DVR to record it.

Hi fool,

What is interesting is that photo is reversed.

One interesting bit of trivia: Scott Wilson was supposed to be the next 'hot thing' in movies. His career never really went anywhere. He ended up being just a bit player in a number of films; I last saw him in MONSTER.

I thought about buying this poster on EBAY, but found 3 lobby cards for less than $20 including shipping and just bought them. I am going to frame them and hang them in my wreck room.

For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board.
