I didn't like the 2004 Mustang (mine was a 1998 and previous body style), so I didn't buy it. I actually had a blast test driving various cars (I wrote a thread about -that-) and wound up buying a 2004 Eclipse GTS. Red of course. Now the -new- '06 Mustang GT....(or better yet the 500) is definitely my cup of tea. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Guess I found out who paid to get revenge now.... My baby's last day.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Didn't see the PC-9, but you might want to try out their physical Sony Outlet Stores as well. :^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

To not muddle up the Incidents Forum with this observation, I'll pose it here. In the code of aircraft safety there are a few observations that can be made in regards to skydiving aircraft. (Please nobody take offense. Let's keep this to a learning experience and not a flame-war). As observed by itllclear in the recent, horrible, Quantum Leap tragedy. The subject of seats and seat belt arrangements: If the Otter -does- have #2 wouldn't it be prudent to require that all loop their seatbelt through their harness and -not- just around their lap. I've been to a certain very high profile and busy DZ where they have several Otters (if not all of them) with skydivers sitting on the floor with this kind of arrangement. Does everyone take the time to make sure they are secure in the event of a crash? That they won't just slide backwards out of the lap belt? (Quantum Leap has the #3 scenario, it was told) On the issue of keeping the door open on take-off. flyhi mentions this: I know where I jump they -require- that the door be closed for take-off and until 2,000' AGL. No matter if it's sweltering heat outside or not. I didn't know the stats that flyhi brought to light (which are very good, thank you). I always knew that if the door was open that the scenario of a pc coming loose and going out the door would be fatal at least for the person attached...if not the whole aircraft when it snagged the plane. These are just two pet peeves that have plagued my mind for a long time and just came back to light with the current incident. Let's keep in mind that we can't change what has happened and can't re-write history. However, we can all learn and prevent an exact repeat. We can save lives by acting smarter. Anything else to add, please feel free. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

I'm spending 1/2 my time in front of the computer today.... On the question posed, it's like everything else in life. It will stay with you for awhile, then this too will pass. The attitude, that is. It may take awhile (either time or jump numbers) but it will all equal out the more exposure you have. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Ah, Son. The lengths that you go to get the women's attention.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Yeah, I'd like to see that, too.

What freeflydrew is saying is that this question gets asked -alot- here. Take a look at this search: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_type=AND&search_string=digital+still+camera For quick reference: If you're a Canon believer: The Rebel XT is the cheap version. The latest more expensive (and yes, better) version is the Canon 30D. If you're going PRO, then try the 5D. Then there's everything inbetween. I'm thinking you'll be heading towards the XT. About the bite (tongue, blow) swtich. Yes, get one. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

What I have done in the past is put the photos up on my web page and then sent the link to the magazines that may be interested. I don't know if they call each other, or have a very different opinion of what they like...but they've -always- picked different pictures and it hasn't been an issue sending them -both- what they want. I just then send the high res files to them once they've made their selection. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Well at least my mistake was out the -back- door last week.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

WTF?!?! Melanie? Diane? ltdiver Diane WOW! I -must- see this video! WhaHoo, Diane! You go woman!!

That's cute! I like it.

Dang, Bill! High Perris temperature was 111 degrees today, with the -first- peak at 1:55pm. It then peaked -again- at 4:57pm. Since when do we get -two- peaks in a day? Geeze! See attached... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Mariann and I shared the floor of "A Plane" on many of the attempts for JFTC 2005. I was always amazed by the amount of energy she had and the electricity that kept our spirits high. In searching for Mariann on the internet, I came across this article written by a Russian writer. She touched lives all around the world. http://www.skydiver.com.ua/publication/index.php?id=1057217625 Fly on, Mariann... Lori Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Have you called ahead and warned the 'brewmeisters' that they have to brush up on their product? You're bringing the resident expert with you.

Last weekend my team did a 3 day training camp, all dressed in black. Saturday was the heat from HELL! Someone at the ultralight park had a thermometer in the shade there and said it was registering 122 degrees! Needless to say several of us jumped in the pool as soon as we finished our last jump. Clothes and all! I sure felt sorry for all the packers... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

1) Don't know. I'll have to ask when everyone gets back home again. 2) Yes. And yes. 3) My understanding is that since the jet is certified, it's certified in all of the U.S. My hope is that when it finally gets back home us locals can enjoy what those at the convention are revelling in right now. :^) Lew, anything to add to this? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

So where are you taking the pic from? Well, you see....Lew would have been the first woman out...

Wow. DB Cooper numbers continue? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Awesome pictures!

Whoo Hoo!!! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Since Sony doesn't make the PC version anymore (great for side mounting), you might want to take a look at used product. I'd shy away from Ebay (been bitten by a purchase there...bad quality) and go with a refurbished miniDV camera direct from Sony. I looked at the Sony site and came up with these: Sony Outlet. I'd go with the PC1000. I bought a refurbished TRV22 from them a month ago and it's just like it was new! Warranty included as well. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

I'll vouch for the "Bonehead Mamba" as well. Great fit, quality product, and easy to use. I always wore an open face but when I got this full face helmet (for JFTC) it worked -great- at higher altitudes without fogging.

Nice to have door-to-door service, huh Lew!
