Info previously posted: It seems that there were 3 layers of clouds and some light rain. Someone with pilot experience should throw in a guess as to the value of any ground lights for identifying a location (while going 200mph).

So here is one: you are full of shit. I see another post unsupported by any facts. Make sure that you put on the same dress that Jo wears when she posts.

Oh, trust me, I am doing nothing but making fun of this whole thread. Jo is using a combination of the most implausible leaps of logic to connect Duane to anyone with parachute training. Meanwhile, not actually connecting him in any fashion to a seat in the airplane. There were literally hundreds of people with parachute training at the time and they did not do it either. People respond with replies to the best troll on the internet. Just quit replying. Not one piece of fact has been produced in 15,000 posts. An occasional good joke is the only value that I find in this thread. Yes, I am most certainly laughing.

There are things known, and there are things unknown, And in between are the Doors. Once I started skydiving, all became clear. Skydiving is a door between levels of consciousness. You face your fears and understand that you have the awareness to control your destiny. The exit door is the last door to enlightenment. I mean, just so you know. (I'm not sure of the grammar parsing, so insert "dude" in there somewhere, four or five times) I may have found a message about DBC in the following song lyrics. It distinctly references skydiving and a girlfriend waiting for him on the ground. "I go back to the top of the slide Where I stop and turn and I go for a ride Till I get to the bottom and I see you again" "I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you" This MAY be the information that breaks this case wide open. Who was Duanes girlfriend at the time? SHE has the money.

I thought it was the "Crotch Bomber". To me, wearing a bomb on your nuts is a sign of commitment. "To join our group, you must wear a bomb on your nuts." "Ok." "You're in." None of this pansy-tattoo stuff. ...conversation while sitting on the plane... "I'm tough because I've got a tattoo of the Harley logo on my chest." "I've got a bomb on my nuts." "...dude, you win."

So, half the time you do not know what they are posting. During that time, you are not smoking crack. During the other 50% of the time that you do understand, you are smoking crack? I understand.

Police Shoot Man Attacking Muhammad Cartoonist (Kurt Westergaard)

The picture depicted M as wearing a bomb for a turban. It portrayed Muslims as being violent terrorists. So, you can kind of understand how this inaccurate portrayal would upset the person carrying the axe. -

That was 90% of the problem. If you write an article that says, "There are problems, but they are being addressed", then you get to write one article. If you write a doomsday article, then you get to write the 15 followup articles. Writers love to have more work. Ironically, by writing about Y2K in 2010, he was doing the same thing.

Got out to the dz after noon and hopped on load 35 - a 15-way. Then, got on load 40 for another. Left the dz at 5 to run errands and make jello shots. Heading back out there shortly for the party and to watch night jumps.

Is this going to be everywhere, or just where you live? Everyone should check their local forecast.

From the Skydivers Dictionary - Wind Hold: The situation in which a jumper spent the night consuming beer and pizza, and is now on the first load of the day.

Hah, I've been old for a while. Doctors keep telling me, "You're going to have to give up... this... and this..." I gave up doctors, they're too depressing.

As skinny as John is, I'm surprised that wingsuit ever lands.

The most recent was a woman at work. She showed up at the dz with a friend and hung around all afternoon. It was pretty uncomfortable.

Name that Rack!! (The NEW DZ.com Game) Part 2

Hate him. -
Humorously enough (for nearly everyone), I know of such a case of mistaken identity. A bunch of jumpers from a nearby dropzone were in a local bar. One of the town denizens picked a fight with two "Forest Rangers". He and his buddy ended up in the parking lot in poor shape. "I was just laying there and pretending to be unconscious so he'd quit kicking me." Turned out the Ranger on the shirts did not mean forest. A couple of guys doing a little jumping on vacation. After that, the locals were very polite to skydivers. You just never know. Duane was a Double-Naught Spy

even if a few bills, the immunity idol, and artifacts are there? You obviously dont watch Survivor much! I'd play on Survivor if they put us on the island with only two sharp knives and a bottle of tequila. After two days of not eating, all the "alliances" and "competitions" wouldn't seem that important. No second episode necessary. The show wouldn't last a week. We already have money. Even the rig would not add anything. I doubt that DNA would last 30 years. DNA would not find anyone, it would merely exclude someone. We already know it is Duane.

If DBC landed safely and then got away, then finding the actual landing area adds nothing.

Soon, lawyers will come into play and they will examine the facts. 1- Tiger didn't cheat before their marriage. 2- After some time in the marriage, something changed in the quality of his sex life and he was forced to find satisfaction outside of the marriage. So, I foresee a shareholder lawsuit against Elin for causing a decline in stock value for her failure to meet her contractual obligations. DO I detect a note of bitterness there, Bill? This is Tigers problem. I never dated Elin. I just calls 'em as I sees 'em. The logical time line does coincide with the slump in his golf game. That affects his income and his value as an advertising figure. I can see how the advertisers would pursue legal action to recover their losses. I can see an obvious failure to fulfill a contractual obligation.

Introverts function to make things happen. Extroverts function while they are happening. For the holidays, introverts are doing the work to create the party. Extroverts are having fun at the party later. Extroverts are still talking while the introverts are cleaning up later. That is why introverts are the most tired.

There are several different possible landing areas presented. One area was searched. Others are the opinions of various posters. DBC could have survived and a search of the correct area would yield no evidence. DBC could have died due to the environment and is out there somewhere. So, anyone who has an area, and they are absolutely certain, then they should search it and post their results. If the money is found, keep it as a reward. Write a book. I think that the incorrect area was searched. That is the best way to not find something.
