SivaGanesha 2 #1 March 19, 2008 So with all the attention that Mr. Dubya seems to be getting in these forums lately, I'm thinking, hypothetically: Bush seems to be the kind of man who likes to follow in his father's footsteps. I mean, whether we're talking about the oil industry, running for president, or beating up on Iraq, he's done a lot of the same things the elder Bush did. So it seems to me not inconceivable that Bush will also follow his dad's lead and become the latest skydiving ex-president when he leaves office. Furthermore he'll be a bit younger than the elder Bush when he leaves office so will have a much better chance at an extended skydiving career. So hence the poll--would he be welcome at your DZ or not?"It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 35 #2 March 19, 2008 I don't think Bush jr has any interest at all in skydiving, but I wouldn't care one way or the other, just as long as we can jump. Nothing worse than having the President make a visit nearby that requires shutting down airspace in the vicinity.

diablopilot 2 #7 March 20, 2008 Where is the answer for "Yes, while he's a student unde my supervision, and after that it depends on how charming he can be." ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

SivaGanesha 2 #8 March 20, 2008 Quote Where is the answer for "Yes, while he's a student unde my supervision, and after that it depends on how charming he can be." Well, unless he has some skydiving experience that we aren't aware of, I think the question assumes that, from a skydiving perspective, he'd start out as a student like everyone else. So since I'm guessing the above would be your reaction to any new student, you'd pick whichever 'yes' answer most closely correlates to your love for beer ."It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
