sinker 0 #12 May 22, 2003 Is this the same people who put on the artic jump a few years ago wherein a number of jumpers went in, like four of them or something? I remember hearing about it some time ago... like most lost altitude awareness, were snow blinded or something.. someone help me out here... -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #21 May 22, 2003 "usually, russian engineering is much better than any western designs, its the maintenance (and consumer experience) they lack... " Its often different, better value for money, and often more focussed on function rather than form. But I'd find it hard to describe it as 'much better'. Even if you consider the Former Eastern Bloc as opposed to just Russia... But my pride as a Scottish engineer can't let this one go.....That said, my all time favourite jump ship just has to be the marvelous AN72. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

beemertec 0 #24 May 22, 2003 Hmmm... let's see. 436 jumps at my home DZ, or maybe 300 plus jumps at various DZ's around CONUS with money for gas and beer (and maybe even food) or freeze my ass off to make a couple of jumps at the North Pole. Sounds like a no brainer to me! Blue Skies Steve Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
