Not every good idea resonates with everyone or even a minority of folks. That's why USPA reps are here. We listen to ALL member thoughts that are brought forward and give every viable idea consideration. If a member asks a director (typically the regional director) to take an idea to the appropriate committee, he or she will do so. Whether or not it goes any further than that is the committee's call. If a member is not comfortable working with the regional director, they can contact me directly. 832-630-1213. I will assist.

Hi Rob, A good friend; 76 yrs old, about 150 lbs & 7500 jumps just up-sized to a Pilot 7 187 LPV canopy, so he could get nice landings & stay in the game. Jerry Baumchen PS) If your 169 is 'standard' fabric, you might fit a 187 LPV in there - check with Aerodyne.

I'll see your meme, and raise you a meme:

Rum snob, actually.

Where can I view the vintage photos of jeanni? I’m curious as she worked for my father’s printing company in San Francisco in the 70’s and I knew her. Nothing to do with skydiving.

Will someone please explain to me the obsession with down-sizing? Back when I was working full-time as a skydiving instructor (350 jumps per year), I weighed about 190 pounds and jumped 135 and 150 and 400 square foot canopies. After I quit working full-time in the skydiving industry, I put on bit of weight (up to 230 pounds) and got un-current during COVID, so up-sized my main canopy to a Pilot 169. 169 is a challenge to land softly at my current weight of 190 pounds. Oh! And I am 66 years old now. As it is now, I am in no rush to reach the ground and just enjoy hanging under canopy, doing gentle turns and enjoying the scenery.

Why yes. Over 30 years after the problems caused by its (unapproved by the FDA) use in pregnancy. It was approved as a cancer drug. There are lots of cancer drugs that cause birth defects, and are strongly contraindicated in the case of pregnancy. Would you say all of their approvals are signs of the deep state? Of course, so it accutane contraindicated in pregnancy, and it's even used by women of childbearing age. With proper supervision. Wendy P.

Jeannie McCombs in her time was the Queen Lady of the Sky. I knew her for only a short time...What a Lady....

Jeannie McCombs was a Terrific Lady...I also knew her in the 70's. Was her boyfriend at that time Bill Smith. I also remember a fellow, I believe his name was Jerry Myers. The three were like glue. When the three would arrive at Yolo in Jeannie's Selby Mustang Convertible...the game was on and that evening you know Ed Wilkes, Beech 18 owner/pilot would have a party at his place in Dixon. Good people...Good memories.
