  1. He weighs about 215 lbs. I would not describe him as "nimble," but otehrwise he moves and functions just fine. I have no idea about the airplane doors or seats. Arrive Safely John
  2. Based on what I have jumped thus far: -Vector II/PD360/PD421 -Vector II/PD360/EZ384 -Vector II/PD360/EZ425 -Sigma/PD360/Sigma370 -Sigma/PD360/Sigma395 -MicroSigma/PD360/Sigma340 -DualHawk/Master425/Master425 -DualHawk/Master425/SET400 -DualHawk/Master425/A2 I prefer the Sigma/PD360/Sigma 370. The Sigma 340 is more fun, but less practical - I am a large lad and tandems are all about getting my student down safely not my own entertainment. My landings are a little better (more standups) with the Sigma395 because of the lighter toggle pressure, but the fave is still the SIgma 370. Arrive Safely John
  3. He does not want to do aerobatics, he just wants to carry a bailout rig. I am not trying to influence his choice of aircraft, I'm just trying to help him find a good quality rig. Arrive Safely John
  4. You may be little but I luv ya lots . . . Arrive Safely John
  5. Happening again in multiple forums this morning. Arrive Safely John
  6. Maybe you can enter your own video next year . . . just collaborate with a camera flyer who films you over the next 12 months and puts together a montage to submit at next year's boogie. I bet you will win in the "Short Subject" category! Arrive Safely John
  7. Sun Path. Arrive Safely John
  8. Here you go! Arrive Safely John
  9. I have a friend who is retiring and plans to buy an airplane. He wants a PEP that he can leave on the seat (round canopy). My information on which is the most popular is not up to date. I am interested in hearing from both Pilots and Riggers - what do you recommend? He is not rich, but he can afford to buy quality gear. Arrive Safely John
  10. No worries . . . glad to have you among us, by the way! Arrive Safely John
  11. Beyond your D license . . . if you plan to get any ratings (AFF, Tandem, etc) you will want to continue getting your jumps signed and adding up your free fall time at least until your rating course is complete. Arrive Safely John
  12. Don't use that simple search feature. Use the "Search" link in the sub-toolbar at the top of the forums page (it's in between "Subscriptions" and "Who's Online"). The first drop-down menu lets you choose which forum you want to search.
  13. Episode 201 was just the glue to connect last season to this one - nothing special. I was not disappointed - I expected that. I do have high hopes for some new stuff tomorrow night though . . . Arrive Safely John
  14. I'm a yankee, but my Mom is from Atmore. Can I play? Arrive Safely John
  15. I miss the jokes you posted in Bonfire, and even more the ones that would send us into fits of laughter at the bar at PIA. You were a rare treasure, my friend. Arrive Safely John
  16. My favorite Procol Harum tune is "Homburg": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr7LxgBMLMI&feature=related Do you recognize Robin Trower as the guitarist? Arrive Safely John
  17. My fave from Lindsey Buckingham is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KswVThZH41w&feature=related As a guitarist, he is self-taught . . . never took a lesson. Only plays with his fingers - doesn't use a pick. A very interesting cat. Arrive Safely John
  18. There were a series of benefit concerts for Amnesty International in the late 70s and early 80s. I remember having an album from e second one at some point. "The Secret Policemens Ball" - the 1979 concert - included these few minutes of brilliance by Pete Townshend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t9slqL_eSw This is by far my favorite acoustic Pete Townshend performance. Arrive Safely John
  19. I have all of Stefan Ertler's contact info at work. I will try and remember to get it to you on Monday. Arrive Safely John
  20. Now the only forum that it's happening in is this one! Arrive Safely John
  21. FREE BIRD! I just couldn't resist. Next year you need a kick ass sound system that is louder that Larry Lizard and people will have no choice but to listen. Maybe I can help with the sound system. I would love to watch it so I will take you up on the loan. I will be at RPC this afternoon, but any time works. Arrive Safely John
