Dam Andy your starting to sould like those people from that other place.There is no just stopping by the Farm if you are in Nashville.To or from Nashville maybe.My house however is right off the interstate. .

What if only the pilot was left in the plane with that door wide open and the studen fell out or decided to exit of their own valition? its not like the pilot could drop the controls and drag the student back in. its a responsibility thing. the instructor has a duty to ensure that student gets to the ground safely either by skydive or plane ride. About 6 months before my first jump I did an observation flight in a 182 with a 3 way, sat in the student position wearing a parachute for emergency use only, watched them jump, and landed with the pilot. He was even nice enough to take me on a short flight to show me some cool ice formations on the river on the way back. What is the difference in what I did and a student riding the plane down with the pilot? I knew that if I jumped or fell out of the plane I had a 99% chance of dying, so I was careful. I didn't feel abandoned, and had a nice chat with the pilot. We are all adults with waivers on file. I say wave goodbye and jump. When you are an instructor I guess you can do whatever you want till you get fired from the DZ. .

fixed it for you. .

Ok but we were talking about the adds in the posts. .

Ummm...theres no one there. .

Depends on what I have done lately. .

Why would you go to that much trouble to block an advertisement that does nothing.It's not like a popup or anything .

Damn it.Leave the house for two hours and look what happens.I have no idea what is going on. .

That is now.We are talking about then.When the computer power that would fit in a space capsule would not run a digital watch. .

I wish more people did that! I'm sick of the stories of people paying for coach jumps and paying the instructor's slot, etc. I have been in the plane and the total number of jumps between the 4 of us has been 30,000 or more (including my measily 60). As much as I want to skydive more, or do something else fun, I will always help when needed even if that means scratching myself off a load. People have done it for me, I will do it in return..! I'm glad to see this mind set growing.I think it's time to shun those charging newbies for coaching jumps and show USPA that they got it all wrong. .

Wait, that was a little fast! The last time it was for the Orfun initiations.. What would be the purpose of these spankings? I'm sure you have some frustrations you need to work out. .

At least he's not out robbing banks. .

Mine is an after jump story.I was shooting video.The video was great,the jump went well and I was thinking this will be a good promotional video.I walk up right after they land and say "So,What did you think of that".The girl looks up and says,"I'm never doing that fucking shit again". .

Done. .

Don't make her get her paddle out.I saw her break one once and she was smiling .

I'm still stuck of you going head down to catch him.Can you teach me to freefly? .

I didn't ask if it happened...I asked if anyone had heard it.Your one of those trouble makers aren't you. .

You should get there before the 4th.You don't want to miss the pre-boogie party. .

Thats the most elegantly written PA I have ever seen. .

Well I think it was a little irresponsible of you to wait 2 yrs but at least you finally did your civic duty and had him snipped. .

Has anyone ever heard the story of young Neal and his neighbor Manny Koin(sp) .

I put on my events for the people that want to come not the ones that stay home.If people are not happy let them start a new forum. .

Screw you. .

Or maybe he should find it within himself.This sport a'int for everyone and no one should be talked into doing it. .

I'm sure between me and Jay we can find you a ride. .
