    Leave it to Wendy to put in a post that doesn't inflame and makes a simple point: that fox gives its viewers what it wants. MSNBC does the same thing. And I think that her point about people wanting everyone else conform to their ideals is the most powerful point I've heard on this forum in a very long time. Just letting people like what they like and watch what they want to watch is unacceptable to too many people. Thanks, Wendy. +1.....Thanks, Wendy.

    I think we're seeing the real 'sock-puppetry'. Nah...he's ok. Chatted off DZ...once the dick measuring was over it was productive (I think, at least). I'm not the world's greatest skydiver or some ace canopy pilot...just your typical weekend beer-leaguer that sometimes earned "experience" not by watching and listening but by doing (because I wasn't watching and listening...)...quickly learned the relationship between the skill bucket and the luck bucket...and that even a D license is merely a license to learn. Very cool. Hope we can catch up at the Hills sometime. I apologize for heading this thread out of line to the OP's intent.

    And as was the case during my course we were jumping older F111 canopies and needed all the flare power we could get to land safely, so we didnt fly final on half brakes. Lastly the guy didnt land "off field". He didnt land in a back yard. He land as the OP himself noted, "wrong corner of the airfield." Thats it. As a student he doesnt need a page long soliloquy on the finer points of canopy piloting. As is most often the case, and as he himself admits, since he didnt fly final on a half-braked position, it was probably lack of an authoritative flare. And he can sort it out with his instructors. Am I reading this all wrong.....is Doug Davis really argueing canopy control with Hillson??

    I agree, it seemed so stupid at first....and then got very addictive.

    SL $18; you got scammed. JerryBaumchen Static Line. At my drop zone in 1975 that was all there was. BUT....I got 5 for $50. I even got the bonus that one had the parachute hooked up bakwards. Good Times, Hard Landings.

    It's sad, the day is fast approaching when the last WW2 Veteran will be gone. So true. I heard a number the other day and it seems like they said we are losing 1000 a day. I was so lucky to be at the WWII memorial in DC when an "Honor Flight" arrived. Very Moving.

    That is so cool. Very brave men and women endured a point in history that was desperate.

    Central Florida is truely a mecca. I know you will meet great people over on that side of the state. Then you should come over towards Lake Wales and ZHills to get the flavor of the more western side. Enjoy !!!

    Gotta agree here. Seemed arrogant, calculated and definantly thinks he is much smarter than everyone else.
  23. xsniper
    That is my vote.....gotta be.

    "Wet Ones" wipes will help with the funk and a antibacterial. Don"t use on the lens.

    Googles have never really worked for me and my contacts, so I went for the full face helmet.
