Umm . . . you do realize that this thread is two years old, right? Regardless, it may be of good use to someone heading that way soon. I'll move it to Events & Places to Jump where it's a better fit. Cheers, Arrive Safely John

I don't seem to be receiving ANY email at all. Last week I was receiving multiples of the same message. I am in the middle of an auto loan application process using my dropzone.com email account for contacts and these problems are really slowing me down. Arrive Safely John

The "45 degree rule" for exit separation DOES NOT WORK
slotperfect replied to kallend's topic in Safety and Training
Let's get the thread back on topic, please. Arrive Safely John -
OK folks, it's time for a note about the intended content of this forums. First, there is nothing wrong with posting raves about your favorite tunnel/instructors/coaches etc. Those opinions are welcome and are directly related to the intended content of this forum. Second, tunnel politics will be treated like DZ politics in the forums. The bottom line is that these forums are not the place for local tunnel politics. The site owner's opinion on the subject: Third, cascading jokes, one liners and such belong in the Bonfire. On topic humor is one thing, random noise is another. When such threads spiral into that kind of chatter, they will be locked or moved to Bonfire. Thanks. Arrive Safely John

I am very sorry for the loss of your friend. There is another thread posted in the Blue Skies Forum, which is the appropriate place for this sort of post. Here is a link to that post: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3042608;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed; I am going to lock this one so we can keep all of the condolences and memories together in one place. Regards, Arrive Safely John

If I ever meet your Mom, I will buy her a PBR. We were in Lexington, VA this weekend, walking down the sidewalk on the way to dinner. A pickup drove by playing "The Needle and the Spoon" - I was whistling or humming it for the rest of the night. Skynyrd is still very much alive in these parts. Arrive Safely John

The OP crossposted this topic in the Suggestions and Feedback Forum, thinking it would be a more appropriate fit there. He linked back to this already developing conversation. I'm goin to lock this one up so we can continue the conversation in Suggestions & Feedback: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3028040;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed; Arrive Safely John

Does the airplane have a door that closes? Are you sitting in seats/benches or sitting on the floor? Where in the aircraft do you sit with tandems - in the rear (tandems exit first) or in the front (tandems exit last)? Arrive Safely John -

separatable connector links - how to separate without the tool
slotperfect replied to vid666's topic in Gear and Rigging
If you're talking about L-Bar connector links, try loosening the screws on both sides to create a gap between the bottom of the screw and the recessed portion, securing the link in the center to hold it in place, then tapping the head of the screw alternating from one side to the other. Or you could just send it to me and for the price of return shipping I will knock them loose with my uncle's link separator. Arrive Safely John -

What Can We Do About Skyride II
slotperfect replied to slotperfect's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
There are many great historical examples of advocates for change standing resolutely for their cause, through thick and thin, sometimes for many years - only to finally change the hearts and mind of those that they had long opposed. I cannot think of one that did so hiding behind the mask of anonymity. You have a very tough row to hoe here, mate. Arrive Safely John -
John, If you're going to discuss parts of a movie that might ruin someone's seeing it for the first time, please put *Spoilers* in the subject line. Arrive Safely John

UPT: V3 M-Series, V-3 Micron, V3 SE (Student), Sigma (Tandem) SunPath: Javelin Odyssey (not available as a retrofit) I know that several other manufacturers have licensed the use of Skyhook, but Aerodyne is the only one I know of that has announced their intention to include it as an option on theor Icon harness/container. Last I saw posted here they were not sure of a release date nor were they sure it would be available as a retrofit. Arrive Safely John
