    And nothing happens. Supreme Court is quite possibly compromised and nothing but shrugs really...

    The quotes for the rubber bands was that they were "intact"... that was an exaggeration and misleading. There were 3 separate packets of 100 bills each found close/touching (one packet a few short)... the dominant narrative in the Vortex was that the three packets arrived individually but were found together. That would mean they were placed there or arrived in a container. How could three separate packets arrive and be together? However, the evidence indicates the packets were rubber banded into a single bundle. As the rubber bands deteriorated the packets would fall slightly apart but still together and touching.. The FBI knows how the money was packaged,, they even stated in a news report that only them and the hijacker knows indicating it was info being held back.. there was no need to ask Tina. So, if the packets were given to Cooper in a single rubber banded bundle and they arrived as a single bundle then that changes the means by which they could have arrived. It could have been a single bundle that came from the river.. Like Chaucer said,, we just don't know how many packets were in the bundle... 3, 4 or 5? I lean toward 3 because only 3 were found, less than $6000 and two packets had rubber band frags.

    https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/macon-ga/christopher-spence-11463399 That's devastating. Spence/Julie, wife and I, go back to the original (!) Skydive Atlanta days. Under Mike Powell. I still remember the initial Bolingbroke boogie. Out of which Spence eventually grew RoamingDZ. And then, via Dublin, the FitzBoogie. While and I wife have since departed skydiving, Spence, and Julie, were always in our memories. Proudly!

    Hey buddy - that looks to me like you're asking for help. And since it's here on a message board, I'll respond here as well. If you need someone to talk to you can PM me for my number anytime. Or I can help you find somebody else if you like. There's always an answer out there somewhere. BTW - I just went through having a jumper make a very permanent and stupid decision that the rest of us have to live with. Please don't do that to anyone you care about.

    I have a few hundred jumps on them; loading 1.3-1.5. Short recovery arc; fun, but a lousy trainer for swooping apparently. I found it predictable, and it opened OK; often with a twist, but I never had a spin. I didn’t have great results with psycho packing it, less predictable openings. But otherwise eminently predictable, which I like Wendy P.

    What is it that they say about broken clocks, or blind squirrels?

    Pack it normally. I’ve pro packed and ‘psycho’ packed them. Pay very close attention to a flat stable deployment. I don’t have a lot of experience on Stilettos, but the only opening problem was an own goal, deploying on the hill on a hop’n’pop whilst not quite square to the relative wind. On my Safire2 or Sabre2 it wouldn’t have been a problem. On the Stiletto, it was an immediate and serious problem.

    All driven by China and India, since demand in America and Europe has been dropping. The environmental impacts in China and India will eventually cause them to reduce coal as well.

    Jay probably learned at Skydive Toronto. ST's Joe Chow was unique among Canadian DZOs in NOT converting to IAD during the 1980s. Most Canadian DZs started the 1980s with static-lined, cheapo, military-surplus, student rigs. By the end of the 1980s, military-surplus gear had worn out and was replaced by piggyback containers, hand-deploy pilot chutes, IAD and square mains. By 1990, both CSPA and USAP insisted that all first solo students use large, docile, square mains (e.g. Manta 288). The shift was driven primarily by a decision - by the US military and Canadian Crown Assets Disposal - to cut suspension lines and leg straps on military-surplus parachutes. The las thing the military wanted was some silly skydiver hurting himself while using military-surplus parachutes for purposes vastly different from their original mission.
