PhillyKev 0 #2 June 17, 2001 haven't experienced that with skydiving yet, but know what you mean. The sense of smell is the strongest memory trigger. You can pick up a whiff of something and suddenly remember some little thing that happened 10 years ago. I just can't wait for smellavision to be perfected /s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
