Why were the territories occupied? Because there was a war. Occupying and settling territories won during war is a nothing new. Most nations have boundaries that are the result of it.

The Perris DC-9 still has a complete airliner interior with seats. You can still sit in the seats with gear on. It is kinda cool actually.

You've done nothing to show that to be the case. The objective of "destroying a terrorist organization" is not at all genocide. Kinda like the previously mentioned: You got nothing except troll status. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

You have a very loose application threshold for the term genocide. I suppose that the bombing of German or Japanese cities during WWII would qualify as genocide the way you apparently think of it. But that was not the case, there was no effort to exterminate. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

That seems crazy. A bi-plane is very stable, a side by side much less so. Can't imagine there being any debate about the preference, but sure would like to hear the reasoning why you'd want to change a bi-plane to side-by. Could changing into a side-by-side have anything to do with obtaining the new option to cutaway (as long as there are no entanglements)? This comes back to USPA vs CSPA though (CSPA says not to cutaway in a side-by-side, USPA says go ahead). I suppose that might be some rational, but, it is still very difficult, or at least time consuming to confirm that the canopies are actually clear of each other so they can cut-away cleanly. That time is likely to not be in great supply in such a situation. A Bi-plane is extremely stable, no way would I want to change from that configuration in order to facilitate cutting away. I noticed that the CSPA wording says that a jumper "can" change it to a side-by, very different than advising a jumper to do it. Also, before anyone releases a main in such a situation, it would be good to release an RSL if attached. I know the intended function of the RSL has already been accomplished, but the shackle itself can be a snag hazard, wouldn't want it to grab fabric or lines on the way past.

The wind noise from air flowing past your ears (uncovered) at freeway driving speeds will cause permanent damage. How much your particular helmet reduces that noise is unknown, but audibles are nominally set to allow you to hear them above the roar of the wind, so I'd expect them to be harmful. some of the audibles can be set to lower volumes, don't know if that is low enough. This thread is a good discussion of what I think are the best earplugs. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Would that be violations as judged by the UN Human Rights Council, or their predecessor, the UN Commission on Human Rights? The same bodies that has/had members doing the judging such as China, Zimbabwe, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Algeria, Syria, Libya, Uganda, Vietnam...the same commission that declared that Palestinians had the right to fight Israel by "all available means, including armed struggle" in order to achieve independence? The same folks for which their motives and integrity are so obviously appalling? Israel's enemies have been in the back pocket of some/much of the media. They've even bragged about it. That's the reality of it, no peeling of onions required to understand. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

I think most would consider that a Vector II and other such rigs by other mfgs that use velcro to keep main/reserve/riser cover flaps closed as older/not modern. I'm not sure how old you have to go to run into such rigs, but I think at least 10 years, but it depends on the mfg. That doesn't mean that the such rigs are unsafe, just that they lack some of the modern refinements that make premature deployments less likely while freeflying. The older rigs are also more likely to need more extensive/expensive repairs to make them airworthy, although any rig might need repairs, and some older rigs are in pristine condition - therefore the need to get it checked by someone (an experienced rigger you trust) that knows what to look for.

Right, different meanings for different contexts. Crappy analogies abound. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

That might still be a good deal overall. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

So then, if it is Monday, someone referring to Friday, and someone referring to next Friday have the same meaning. That doesn't make sense to me.

I think you are wrong. If you were to tell them to "call you on Friday", would they complain that they can't go back in time? The answer is no, they would not, because the use of "this", or "next" is not needed in your scenario.

And where I come from when the teller at the bank says, "Next" the first person in line walks up to the counter, not the second person in line. The first one, you know, the next one. That is a really crappy analogy. If you say you're going to the boogie in November, or this November, then you mean the November that is approaching. Next November would mean the one after the one approaching. That is how it is actually used.

I heard that he bought smokeless/black powder, and the store clerk was suspicious of his intentions. I wonder if he went up to the store and asked for gunpowder, only to be asked for exactly what he wanted (ball, flake, cylindrical, and what spec, or actual blackpowder). I can imagine him not knowing what he didn't know and the clerk realizing that he was not the typical reloading customer, probably didn't want any other reloading supplies. Hopefully future IED makers will not learn from his stupidity. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Oh please no. just not that... Good one, like it! People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Israel was established on Palestinian turf. There is a reason the land has been referred to as Palestine over all these centuries and the inhabitants referred to as Palestinian ,Sherlock! Noodle it out if you can. It wasn't Palestinian turf when the start of the modern Jewish homeland began after WWI, it was British turf. The British called the shots, they were in charge, so no matter name is applied to it, it was not Palestinian turf. Britain decided to allow only a small number of Jews to immigrate there, but put no limits on Arab immigration to their protectorate, despite having been granted the protectorate by the League of Nations and been charged with (the British) the stated purpose of "establishing in Palestine a national home for the Jewish people". When Israel was formally created, it also wasn't Palestinian turf, because the British had handed over control to the UN. Before WWI, it also wasn't Palestinian turf, because for a very long time the Ottoman empire called the shots. And by the way, why don't the Palestinians demand that Jordan be passed back into their control? It was the British that decided that Transjordan would be separated from the region that had previously been called Palestine. Shouldn't modern day Palestinians allowed to settle in Jordan, as you seem to assert it is their turf? Anyway Sherlock, it doesn't matter what the name of a region is called, that region isn't necessarily autonomous/sovereign. So, again, was it your intention to deceive when you asserted that Israel was created on Palestinian turf? You were very wrong on that basic assertion from your original post of this thread. Should we be "anti-you", or give you a pass for being wrong and glad that you have learned something fundamental to the issue you have raised?

What year was that? I so wish I had known they'd be doing something like that, I usually stayed up close to home and jumped at Charlie Merritt's DZ North of Phoenix (not much of a DZ, just desert where we met) How long was that jump run? Was there competition for who got to go where? Did you complete a speed star when you finally left?

Nice picture but where are the ailerons? They are there, they are a different color than the rest of the plane, and with the poor quality of the scan/pic it just makes it look the same as the desert People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

This isn't relevant to cargo doors, but it is related to floaters, and it's a very cool pic. From Coolidge I believe, well over 30 I think.

If Israel's neighbors were not explicitly Islamic nations (some even have it embedded in their name), then a Jewish state would not be so important. Israel has obviously accepted a two state solution as evidenced by the agreements that were so close to being accepted by both sides, only to be rejected (not by Israel) in the end. That Israel may not admit that formally now is just to hold it back for the actual negotiations, IMO. So, speaking out in favor of a two state solution is of trivial importance. Arafat was never really interested in peace. What is needed is a leader on the Palestinian side like Sadat, and we certainly don't have that now.

My Pilot definitely does not need a "yank it for all you got" type flare. It does require a long stroke of the toggles in total, but it does great at leveling off and then shutting down. Borrowing another canopy is likely a great idea, as I think the OP has not flown many other (or any other?) canopies in this size range, but I would not say they had to be from any specific manufacturer.

Do you think it's possible to use the bottom of the lower cargo extension as the floor of the cabin? That would be so nice, even if the door didn't extend down that far.
