Lefties rule. All the best people are lefties. That what my mum said anywat. And she knows cos shes also a lefty and never wrong about anything.

Do any of you use a standalone (ie PC free) direct printer. I would like something that can print a sellable print up to A4 in size direct from a memcard.

I think they have 2 models - the lying down one and then the standing up one but you are supposed to start with the lying down one to practice.

Oh come on guys... it was a joke. Anyway it wasn't an antisemitic statement. It was a sweeping generalisation based on sterotype. It could have been a "how many scotish skydivers here?" thread....all the same to me. Anyway.. if it offended anyone here apologies.

No. Most pin problems are easily and quickly solved enough to allow you to jump.

You do get some nice angles and the whole canopy section makes for some nice stuff however you loose the whole bigger picture. Shots of the view / plane etc. Its a selfish video, would be nice in conjunction with a standard vid.

I started a club this year and we held 4 boogies but they have been so successful we have decided to try and run a full time DZ. If it works it works and if it doesn't I guess its back to the 9-5. Got to give it a go and see what happens. Figure its got to be more fun anyway (hence the 65% pay cut!)

At work. Seeing out my notice!! 2 months to go then I'm going to run a dz. how cool!

except fo the first four years..

That let has serviced us a few times. Nice bird!

Easy enough to spot. The Jews are the ones haggling over the lift ticket prices.

No. This is not a CAA thing. As far as I know the CAA have no minimums or requirements laid down in terms of hours and quals etc (but I may be wrong). The regs above are from the BPA ops manual. The BPA ops manual has to be observed by all BPA Affiliated Drop Zones so it a requirement in that way.

Clouds are great big fun play things... !

These are the requirements from the BPA operations manual. Experience. He/she has at least 100 hours as Pilot in Command (PIC) of aeroplanes if aeroplanes are to be flown by the applicant (except in the case of FAI ‘C’ Certificate (Red) parachutists where the requirement is 75 hours PIC in each case). In addition the following is also required:- a. Less than 150 hours PIC - 10 hours on type b. 150 - 250 hours PIC - 5 hours on type c. Over 250 hours PIC - With the following training.

Anytime you need a pick me up let me know.

$7,000 well invested. Just think you could buy a house or some other piece of imovable junk with that. Few!

What your trying to say is that people from Arizona are girls right? I get it.

C - Celcius Corona - Surface of the sun. Beer is a damn fine idea. I having a go at trying to give up smoking so this is going to be a first big test... getting shitfaced with mates.

***I always have a great weekend, but this weekend is going to be super great because I will hit my 100th jumpQuote NAKED!!!!!!!

18C. Are you kidding. I work in C. Shorts and t-shirts. Where the hell are you from the Corona?

I have never jumped out of a non perfectly good aeroplane unless to kick the thing for not moving.

Its basically BPA speak for Static Line progression.
