That's a huge problem with that aircraft - there are no hand holds. Arrive Safely John

Thanks, Mike. That was absolutely amazing. It really made my day. Arrive Safely John

You never know . . . there might be some dropzone.commers that have actually jumped it! Arrive Safely John

Just give us enough information in your profile to post a reference and you're in! Arrive Safely John

That's a pretty short list! BTW - Crown Royal is blended whiskey. From your list, Maker's Mark is the finest IMO. There should be a few more to consider: Wild Turkey George Dickel Ezra Brooks Evan Williams Knob Creek Bulleit Woodford Reserve Gentleman Jack Wild Turkey Rare Breed Out of that list, Bulleit is my favorite, although I have not yet tried Woodford Reserve, which I have heard is quite good. I don't mix it - I drink it on the rocks. There are many more, but I have found the couple of brands I like and have stuck with them - Bulleit & Knob Creek. Arrive Safely John

All right folks, as Chris has said many times already in this thread, and as I have already said once, this thread is not about the Skyride is unethical argument or discussion. This thread is about a compiled list of dropzones that accept their certificates. Either keep the thread on topic or it will be locked. The list will continue to be updated regardless of what happens to the thread. I edited ChasingBlueSky's original post in the "What Can We Do About Skyride" thread to include a link to Thanatos340's list in this thread so if this one gets locked others will easily be able to find it again.

Wow. That is really sad news. Arrive Safely John

Please take any transaction conversations to PMs to keep the buying and selling out of the forums. Thanks. Arrive Safely John

I watched nearly every episode during every day of every Summer vacation from about 1975 to 1979. I can remember the episode where Gene Gene made his debut. We used to imitate him. I turn 43 this month. Arrive Safely John

I can't say I have ever used the generic search function. The Search Posts function is intended to search the forums only, with many definable parameters. Using your example, I would search all of the forums using the words "contacts" and "contact lenses." Sometimes you have to fart around with the exact wording to find the pot of gold. You can even mess with the spelling to get more info: e.g. search "CYPRES" and "CYPRESS" and see what the different results are. Another example: search "S&TA" and "ST&A." Those are common mistakes for common topics. Arrive Safely John

Are you talking about the generic "Search" window with the drop down in the upper right hand corner or the Search Posts link in the toolbar of link in the upper left? Arrive Safely John

You may be talking about "dead horses." Certain topics have been discussed ad nauseum here in the forums (e.g. the 45 degree rule), and some pictures/videos have been reposted dozens of times with subsequent repetetive discussions (e.g. Scott Lutz). Those are going to get locked or removed by a Moderator in accordance iwth the Forum Rules: Of course, if there is new content regarding a dead horse subject, that will be allowed to continue - new ideas, new spins, new information, new conclusions add to the topic of discussion and are obviously worth the read. I would encourage any new user, or any expoerienced user who has not done so, to read the following thoroughly to help understand what this online community is all about and how they can help make it thrive: -

To all: let's get this thread back on topic - making a list of DZs that accept Skyride Certificates. Thanks. Arrive Safely John

If you take some time to understand why we encourage users to search the forums first before posting, it may help calm your annoyance. These forums have been up and running for seven years. Since then, we have grown to nearly 68,000 users that have made almost three million posts in well over 170,000 threads. There are users among us who are pioneers in our sport, gear manufacturers, aero club board members, dropzone owners, world champions, instructors with jump numbers in the five figures and instructional experience measured in decades, and many other examples of folks having a wealth of knowledge to tap into. There have been excellent questions asked over the past seven years, and many thorough, well though out answers given from highly qualified individuals. That information is there to be had simply by using the Search Posts feature. Here's an example . . . let's say a jumper who is rather new to skydiving and even newer ot the forums has a question about the 3-ring release. Since the Gear and Rigging forum best fits that topic of discussion, that would be a logical place to search first. There are nearly 11,000 threads in that forum, which happen to include some excellent discussions about the 3-ring release. A large portion of those excellent discussions come from the man who invented and patented the 3-ring release, Bill Booth (billbooth), who has been a dropzone.com user since March of 2002. He is a regular contributor to boot. Searching the G&R Forum for "3-ring" results in 490 posts. Browsing those threads, one might discover that Bill has been a huge contributor in those discussions, who he is, and why his opinions are so valuable on the subject of the 3-ring. Changing the search parameters only to include posts in G&R by billbooth on the subject of the 3-ring yields 41 posts. That in itself is a wealth of information. Now, Bill cares about the sport a great deal . . . that's why he posts here. And, he has been known to answer the same question more than once over time. BUT, those of us that know Bill (including some of us long-time users and Moderators) know that he is a busy man and that the user may find what he is looking for in some of Bill's previous posts if he searches the forums, and that this might be a lot faster than waiting for an answer to his new thread on the subject. True, but a large portion of the information here is still quite accurate, and learning the history and evolution of a topic (especially gear) can be extremely valuable. The Search Posts function is a great tool to access a wealth of information. That's why we encourage people to use it. Arrive Safely John

No. Take a week break from this forum while you contemplate why that's not even remotely funny. Arrive Safely John

Condolences and hugs from the Raefordites, luv. I had the pleasure of meeting your Grandma and her escort (handsome silver haired fellow who your Dad seems to favor) at Eloy last summer. She was a sweet soul. Now she soars with the eagles . . . Arrive Safely John

They have a mailing list you can sign up for on the website. I didn't bother; I surf Ticketmaster often enough to find out when the tickets go on sale. Arrive Safely John
