  1. 30 years this year. 2300 and change. No cutaways. Close, but no. Way too much of an asshole to admit that some of that shit shouldn't have been flown. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  2. They make digital altimeters? DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  3. I recently came across a quick and easy DZ locator by accident. Spot Assist. As you scroll along the sat photo the (wind conditions) DZ locations pop up. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  4. I would suggest you contact his old unit if they still exist (7th Cav does). If they have a museum, donate what you don't wish to keep. Keep what you think you should. The next generation of your family should see some of this stuff, particularly if you can add a bit of story to it. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  5. At home we use ready, set, go, but I find that when I travel to bigger DZs every organizer seems to have a version. When in doubt, revert to what you were taught...Eat, Fuck, Skydive. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  6. I can see absolutely no reason why a ten year old shouldn't have full unsupervised access to guns and ammunition. Oh, excuse me..there is something stuck in my pigs ear.. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  7. I remember him...thought he was yer baby sitter. Who'da thunk.. He looks kinda bored. Obviously you guys aren't all that entertaining after the sun comes up. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  8. I just checked on Google maps. I am driving a distance equal to over half the width of the continent to get out of the snow and skydive (at Fitz). You can make it up from Florida. See you there. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  9. 105mm tank. 76mm (light) tank DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  10. I see you listed "West Germany" vice the current name. Was it at the Black Forest Club? DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  11. I have jumped at 9 different US DZs in 6 states and have never been required to have a USPA License but undergoing training is different. I know I would not train a person from another country if he wasn't CSPA. Besides, how can a person get a license from a an organization without being a member? If you are travelling with a group from one country to another and there is an instructor with you, and he/she is allowed to teach/coach by the DZ then maybe you could get trained and awarded your countries license.

    Name a beer

    Hi. Your wife may be concerned over nothing. I work for a brewery and the only people who actually use the "names" rather than just saying Red, or IPA or Stout, or whatever are first timers and tourists. I wouldn't worry about someone "not getting it". Besides, it gives staff a chance to explain it which makes the experience more interesting for the customer. You just have to make sure all your delivery guys, sales guys etc know the story. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  13. But you have no video to look at. Because you have no helmet to fasten the camera to. You have no gear to jump with, no home DZ and zero jumps. Or you are a third world spy who forgot to fill out his profile. Or you were at a Dudeist meeting, or whatever. I need a beer now. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  14. I have seen the results of good tunnel time. I am in no way an opponent of wind tunnels. I was just somewhat shocked by your remark about not having anything to do with students who had no tunnel time. I suppose if you live in area serviced by a tunnel or work near one or whatever that is great. If a person were to take a map of this continent and mark all the DZs and then all the tunnels I think you would get my meaning. Skydiving is being greatly influenced by the current generation of tunnel trained jumpers but there will never be enough tunnels. We can't forget the guy or gal who jumps at a Cessna DZ in Butt Fuck Nowhere who may never see a wind tunnel. It is a 10 hour drive from here to the nearest in Canada and about the same to NH. If a person lives in the middle of the continent it is a major expense to get to the nearest tunnel. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  15. "Now that wind tunnels are widely available, I would not touch a freefall student until after he had a few minutes in a tunnel". Wouldn't touch a FF student who didn't have tunnel time? Oh, yeah, right. Big city rich kids are the only ones who should skydive anyway. Most of the world still doesn't have a tunnel in location and believe it or not, most of the world doesn't travel to exotic locations to learn to skydive. Three cents.

  17. Talkin' about Fitz helps the white stuff melt (after it gets here). Only 5 1/2 months of crappy weather to go. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  18. If I am at the beer store by Walmart and my load gets called will they hold the plane for me?? DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  19. Anybody got an inflatable Shark? Will muffs fit on a shark? If they do, will the shark be a Muff Brother? Can the shark get into the beer store? ..how did that happen? See ya on the 12th. Doog DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
