The original post was about a rigger pencil packing other rigs without the users knowledge.

Right up until the point they come through you on final. A rigger pencil packing anything other than their own rig that never leaves their sight/direct supervision, a very bad idea, IMO. You took my comments out of context.

Tell your bf he's a dick

I thought normiss had been deleted.

Well of course. But I don't give a shit what the other guy has on his back. If someone is stupid enough to not take care of their rig and jump it out of date...

She's a girl. At least give her the smaller, white trash bag from the Kitchen. Did you just call Laura white trash?

I almost hit a weather balloon doing video with a 4 way team once.

One very well know jumper ( no names will be mentioned ) told me, a number of years ago, that he had to use his reserve that had been packed for 5 yrs. It worked just as designed. 5 year repack cycle anyone? JerryBaumchen I actually wouldn't have a problem with that because I know how my rig is taken care of. I don't leave it outside in the back of my truck, get is wet swooping, piss on it or the likes. I wouldn't want to borrow a 5 yr pack job.

Yes, they come in black and you get to make your own arm and head holes.

I recently pulled out my reserve that had been packed for about 5 yrs. There was no determinable difference between it and one that had been packed 6 months ago. After seeing that I would have no problem jumping my rig with a 5 yr old reserve pack. The same can not be said for the 3 yr old main pack job. It was a brick.

I would think the FAA would pull the ticket. I don't think anyone would make a criminal case unless someone was injured or killed. I'd beat their ass. If I'm getting a pencil pack I'm only paying half price.

Hard to see why this is a complicated subject for more and more politicians. Funny how when federal money is involved it usually involves either someone or a local business getting the shaft. Make you wonder about the over all agenda???

Well, here it is. I had planned on posting this early just to piss off Skymama but the professionalism in my procrastination got the best of me. Everyone has to be good at something. That's right kids. Ten years for the event and our 5th year in Fitzgerald. It's been quite a ride. I wish I could tell you that all the planning was in place and I could tell you all about it, (Please see first paragraph) but this is what I got so far. I'm hoping for help from Skymama for any needed updates because we love her and she is the bestest moderator ever. So far we have a Super Otter from Skydive Spaceland and the Blackhawk Grand Caravan(850 hp)from Skydive the Farm. I have a King Air lined up as a third aircraft. We have the helicopter coming back from last year and I have a hot air balloon lined up with the option of 8 jumper slots if we have the need. I will once again be pre-booking balloon slots to make sure there is enough interest. I can accept credit cards for pre-boogie booking. We have the boogie for those that want to be there not those that have to be paid to participate. Once again we will have organizers there for many skill levels and most disciplines but you won't see any big name organizers there. I take flack for this from some people but it's worked great for many years now. I haven't verified everyone yet but I would expect most of our past organizers back. Fortson Rumble is doing a POPs record on Friday and then a short 10way comp for Sat. Jeff Guy(Team Dirty Sanchez),Bruce Crawford, and others with small group RW. Rick Ream with the Muff Brothers. Sunman and others will be FF organizing (I put others because they are unverified) If you have some you think might want to organize put them in touch with me. Bill Killillay will be organizing the wingsuits and I believe they might do another Ga. State Record. Speak up if anyone is coming to do CReW. Cyndi Brown with Dirty Pirate Hooker jumps. And I think the DPH will once again be helping you find an organizer if you are look for them. The pond is available for swooping. You'll have to ask someone who's been in it what the temp is in March. Tandems will be available so bring your friends to make a jump and to stay for the party. As always, nightly bonfires, stupid human tricks and skydiver entertainment leading up to the Saturday night St.Patricks themed (unofficial) costume party. Live band and an entertainment idea that I'm working on that will be worth all the effort of getting there. I can guarantee you've never seen anything like this,ever. EDIT to add; Private/Group packing tents will be available again. Contact me or see into in the forums at RoamingOutdoors.com. I also have boogie shirts left from several years if you would like to help a brotha out with pre-boogie expenses. I can accept credit card for those and pre-boogie balloon booking. This is a work in progress. I'll post updates here, on facebook https://www.facebook.com/events/393707960703616/395414507199628/?notif_t=event_mall_comment and in the forums at www.RoamingOutdoors.com I will transfer all of the useful info from last years threads. Until then most questions can be answered there. Pricing will be added here as everything is finalized. Everything should stay pretty much in line with last year. Edit: OK, kids. I'm ready to start accepting reservation for private group tents and balloon jump slots. I can accept checks by mail, paypal with fees added or credit cards by phone (or e-mail but figure most people won't want to put cc info in an e-mail) It's important as in past years that I can show the balloon pilot that coming to the event will be worth his while. More so this year with having to find a new balloon company. I will need to get the balloon slots booked and paid as in the past. A slot in the balloon is $95. A 15x15 private tent is $150. 20x30 is $300. Other sizes available. I do not make any money on the tents. This is cost plus tax. Contact me via private message to book a tent or balloon slot. We also have previous years shirts available. I'll re-post the pic on the facebook event page and you can let me know your size. $15 for last years, $12 for other years and $10 for a second shirt. It would really help us to get rid of some of these.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. No, I meant that I don't think a lot of kids will give it another thought past yesterday when their parents picked them up from school and acted like retards. I'm speaking of kids that were not involved in the event. Kids that live hundreds or thousands of miles away.

I'm having a hard time understanding people who feel they need to sit their small children down and explain to them the events that unfolded yesterday. I can see answering questions if they arise, or telling them that a sick person did a very bad thing. Past that I don't understand the point.

I watched it. Pretty good. The thought occurred to me today that all the celebs were there raising money to rebuilt their vacation area.

Depending on the type aircraft it may have never been reported. I forget the terms but if there was no major airframe damage I don't think it has to be reported. There are several aircraft that if the gear and flaps are up the only thing that will touch the ground is the skids on the belly.

You would have thought that this would have been exploited more.

'89 34' Pace Arrow. All the comforts of home.

Hahahaha, Half the people reading just said,"Who".

Two different size project, different equipment needed. Unless they just showed up with overkill.

A crew set to renovate would not have the equipment on hand to tear a place like that down in two days.

Give me the bitches phone number
