Does your friend like Johnson? (Andrew)

Does she like Dick? (Nixon)

Here is an article by a Dallas Morning News Reporter that can scibe my thoughts. She is right on on all aspects http://www.dallasarena.com/u030522gordon.htm

But you can compare blindly following any law Big Brother throws your way. QUESTION AUTHORITY! Actually, my ticket says the speed limit was 65 MPH on an interstate with NO towns and light traffic as compared to 70 on the asphalt, narrow FM road in front of my house. Make sense? It is rumored the Nazis started with lowered speed limits

Here is where you and I part. I believe in civil disobedience. If Hitlers SS in WW2 believed in it too, several million Jews might be alive today. 70 mph in west TX??? Please! The 2 lane FM road with no shoulder and farm tractors galore in front of my house is 70 MPH! Guess what, homosexuality is illegal here too (or was recently)

Funny thing is, I did call him "sir" and even explained to him that I thought it was safe and that 18 wheelers were passing me. I later learned from the bartender at the Mariott at the Midland Airport that the tickets were financing a new High School football stadium. Go figure in TX. And, yes, Im bitter. And he really did have 3 teeth.

Texas DPS officers are do nothing more than extort money from motorists. They do noting to increase safety or protect the public. They are mobsters with a badge. Notce how they all hang out in rural areas, on straight, flat interstates, and hide to trap you doing 75 mph on an interstate with ZERO poulation, on-ramps etc? Notice how the speed limit in TX drops from AZ, even though the road only gets straighter and more deserted? I lived in CA for the past 5 years and never got a ticket, even though I drove 85 mph everywhere, (current of traffic). I drive to TX and get a ticket for 79 mph in a 70 from an inbred DPS officer with 3 teeth outside of Midland. You can't tell me that 80 MPH is not safe in a car with Z rated tires, ABS, etc when 18 wheelers can do 70. There was no-one within a mile in front or the back of me. The danger is not speed, it is difference of speed. If you go 80 and everyone else is doing 30, that is dangerous. If everyone is doing 85 and you are doing 50 in the left lane, YOU are the one bing dangerous. Texas cops are pricks, they have nothing better to do than speed traps and I wouldn't piss in their mouth if their teeth were on fire. Best thing is, lawyers can get you out of almost any ticket, but it still costs you.

More importantly than getting coaching from Mico....did you meet his girlfriend Paula? Whew....shes a hottie......Mico is great and so is Perris. Im glad you see it like I do, especiallu great for new jumpers. I just had a miserable experience at another DZ and appreciate Perris all the more. I might even move back to CA. They even have a DC-9 now!

Who's Edge did you fly? I flew one once. Mike's is for sale.....My favorite acro mount is the Sukhoi 31. I have about 1200 hours in the Pitts and it does great knife edge and looks cool but nothing beats the Sukhoi....Even the Edge.

At least Im not banned again!

http://www.cardatabase.net/modifiedairlinerphotos/ A good site for aviation "goat getting"

It is a photoshopped Boeing 767...........No point to the thread other than goat getting......what is the point to 95% of threads?

What is THIS?

Perhaps you have all seen this already

Look at the landing gear bogies (angle), the winglets, the engines, the windshield.....

Hint to the answer: What is THIS airliner?

This is an A 340 - See the difference?

NOT an Airbus 340

The elusive '3rd DC Sniper Suspect' Muhammad El Dumbello is able to elude Washington DC Police by hiding right under their collective noses.

The plane in the foreground is fellow Perris Skydiver and pilot Mike Mangold's. The plane doing the high alpha pull up is Kirby Chamblis', who's wife Kelli is a pilot at Eloy. Anyone who saw Mike fly at Perris knows how cool Zivkos are. MDS

What is this airliner?

I started at like jump 20 and sucked. I found it vey hard to stay in dives. I then lost 30 lbs and it got soooo much easier. These little wirey aholes got it easy. Weight means a lot in Freeflying. Mike

Charlie Hillard...for his flying too. Mike

When hearing about this, I was thinking...hmm...what a clever way to get 500 free jumps. I went to dinner with a few people that jumpmastered and packed for him. You have no idea, unless you were there, how difficult logistically this was.The pilots and volunteers deserve a big part of the credit. It was friggin raining HARD all night last night. I forgot that he was doing it and when I heard tonight, I couldnt believe it. Think of the people that packed 535 WET parachutes, the pilots split-sing every 2 minutes pulling G's all night. Wow. Folks, this is a tremendous achievement that involved a huge team. Im PayPal'ing $100 right now. Mike

That dude that did 535 jumps last night in 24 hrs did almost the whole thing in the rain...All his repacks were soaked. No malfunctions. Mike
