riddler 0 #2 October 10, 2013 So I'm looking at Parachutist and I see the above poster receiving a 30-year USPA award from gpeek, and I'm thinking "that MUST be a mis-print". 300-year, minimum!Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup...other way around ~ I gave it TO Gary! We jumped the 4th of July demo together, thought it would be a cool backdrop since we'd just flown parachutes through the Arch...rushing to get back to the airport we shoulda taken a minute for a better pic! Me..........I'm coming up on 40 years in! That's 280 - in CReW Dawg years! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjosparky 4 #4 October 10, 2013 Jim, I can remember coming in on one six right in Spikes D-18 after a weekend at Taft or returning from a round robin. He would come in low over the pass and all you could see for miles were the lights of the City.

The hotel isn't really close to anything we want to do or see in the greater Los Angles area...except one six right! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
