It's deplorable so that's what I'm going to do: deplore it. I'm also going to be very, very disappointed and saddened. Now is no time for half measures.

Thank you, kindly. Some people here don't think I'm serious 100% of the time, strangely.

Straight into the basket with all the others.

Hi Ken, Rob emailed back to me; here is some of it: I have not been able to access www.dropzone.com since they introduced a new log-in security .... Oh! And I am still working 4 days per week at the bus company. The rest of the email was some stuff between Rob & me. Jerry Baumchen

It was my first car. I bought it in 1967. Could never bring myself to sell it.

A bit off topic, but... Which brings to mind that we haven't heard from Rob in a while. His profile says he hasn't logged in since last September. Does anyone know if he's all right? ----------------- Does that mean that their fresh repair looked old and well-worn? hehe

Incorrect emergency procedures. He should have JUST released the drogue. .

My old underwear is a little shredded, does that count as lace?

Is it a matter of AAD manufacturers refusing to ship AADs to Russia? Or is it that shipping a technology item like this to Russia is not allowed due to the current exporting restrictions?

Dayumn . . . tether or dog house? Do the authorities know, yet?

Sorry for the delayed reply but I'm still getting caught up after a trip. I chose to have a femoral rod removed for the marrow regeneration and immune system benefits. It's really a no big deal surgery if you aren't too delicate.

Oh, the expression "it's the same as a bullet made of shit" shone with a new light..

These two should totally get some proper training in CRW, and EPs in a wrap situation. Didn't see any evidence of a hook knife to clear those hung up lines, and both of them dicked around far too long. Bottom guy chopping first, left his mate to be properly wrapped. lucky not to be. Having a rsl hooked up is a very bad idea when doing CRW. Seems to me these two really didn't have much idea of what they were doing.

That's the place to be if you want to jump from a rear-door aircraft in Europe. Great people, great aircraft, great location. Full recommendation!

Direct flight from JFK to PRG can be had at a great price. Family Owned/Operated. Kindergarten on DZ for those that travel with children. Aircraft are incredibly maintained...best SkyVans I have ever seen (4 of them) and 2 182RGs. Pilots are very professional and highly experienced. Landing area is adjacent to large grass landing strip. State-of-the-art Swoop Pond. Multiple rooms for rental, plenty of tent space. As well as rooms for rent at hangar. All with WiFi. Manifestors speak English and German, English and Czech, or Czech and German so language is not an issue. Great restaurants (very affordable) on the airport or in town, and lodging off the airport is inexpensive (E30.00/night). Prague only an hour + away, Vienna about a 3hr drive. Did I mention they have a Pink Skyvan?

While on vacation in Czech with my Czech hubby, lol. I found out that Skydive Pink Klatovy was opening that week. We drove 4.5hrs just so I could see her, that big beautiful Pink Crazy looking Skyvan and jump from her tail. OMG, what an experience. This plane is by far the cleanest and nicest plane ever. The staff were pretty much all German but they all spoke English. When my husband began to speak Czech, they were like "Huh, do you speak English or German". We all laughed. Very friendly people. GREAT Landing area. No problems finding the landing area and no damn trees around to produce turbs. For once. LOL. I will be back again hopefully this summer and will make it down to jump her again. GREAT EXPERIENCE!

I had a few days to spare in Czech Republic and decided at the last minute to take a bus up to the Pink Skyvan operation in Klatovy. I only stayed one night and as weather was bad the second day I only made a few jumps but I was impressed by both the people and the facilities at this DZ; nice pool, restaurant and bar, bunkhouses, free camping and good bathrooms! The majority of people spoke German as their first language, but even if not everyone understood me they were all very friendly! Within an hour of arriving I was on an organised RW jump. Prague is just a few hours away and this was a nice way to break from sightseeing and jump the Pink skyvan - what a funky plane!
