As the 19-year-old pilot struggled with the controls, the order came for them to jump - immediately. Minutes later, the plane slammed nosefirst into the water about 30m from Torquay's crowded White Beach, flipping in front of a horrified crowd. When the shocked pilot swam from the wreckage and ran up the beach, onlookers realised they had not witnessed a fatality. But the adrenalin was still pumping for Constable Nigel Bullis from Victoria's Police Air Wing, who was on a routine patrol. He had watched the plane fly directly into the path of his helicopter before careering into the water about 12.40pm. Constable Bullis said he believed the two skydivers had already ejected from the plane when its engine started "running rough" at about 10,000ft before failing altogether at 2000ft. But surf lifesaver Damian Holman said the pilot told him the Cessna's engine had stalled at 10,000ft, when the skydivers were told to jump immediately. "He instructed his parachuters to jump out - he was able to re-start his aeroplane, but was unable to land it," said Mr Holman, who treated the pilot for mild shock. Beachgoers were treated to the bizarre spectacle of the mangled plane being towed up the beach by two tractors, accompanied by State Emergency Services crew. "We don't normally pull planes out of the drink," said Torquay Angling Club captain John Albrecht, who drove one of the tractors. "We normally just pull jetskis and cars out." Mr Albrecht was standing on the beach when he saw the plane plunge into the water. "I looked up - I saw the bloody plane, it just tipped in," he said. The pilot, from Sunbury, northwest of Melbourne, worked for the Tiger Moth Adventure Company, but the company that conducted the skydive was believed to be Australian Skydive, which leases Tiger Moth's airstrip and uses its pilots. Constable Bullis said the pilot had tried to land on the beach but had lost momentum, and with his engine out of action, could not make it. "As soon as he got behind the lee side of the sand dunes, he lost all of his head-wind and he just had to push the nose down to keep his airspeed up," Constable Bullis said. "He's just crashed about 20metres short of the beach into the water and flipped upside down." Two hours later at Moorabbin airport in Melbourne's southeast, a helicopter flipped on to its side during landing. The chopper suffered about $70,000 worth of damage, but the two occupants were uninjured. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

You'll have to excuse Liz...she is after all from the other side of the pond I do believe she meant good old rubber bands. That's what I suspected. However, when I clicked on her profile it said "Arizona"....so...just how long has she been on this side of the world? Hasn't she changed her way of thinking yet? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Tandems: 15-20mm (depends on how close you'd like to get) RW: 20mm Landings: Again, depends on how close you want to be, but I love my 70-300mm lens for that. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

You're thinking along the right lines. However, different manufacturers have different standards by which they gauge their sizes by. Unfortunate, but true. For example, look at this description. You'll notice the bottom example is the .3 Royal lens. However, if you're trying to get close to that .3 lens, I'd try a 15mm lens for your 35mm camera. Watch out...in that size they can be -heavy-! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Yeah, looks like we won't be there until February either.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Bungies....for 1) hair? 2) reserve repacks? 3) for tents? 4) for bungie jumping? 5) for tying up Viking? or are you talking about good ol' rubber bands? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Or better yet, the GodFrog! "Pat Works was national sales manager for Union 76, and he used to get various promotional items through his job. Among these were some plastic lawn furniture and a 6’2" stuffed green and yellow plastic tree frog which he took to Nationals on his motorbike. The frog’s name was Carlos Gene Godfrog" "What happened to the 6’ stuffed frog Carlos Gene Godfrog? He went out under a round during a November 1972 mass jump at Z Hills in Florida and was not seen again for 5 years. “Father Farkle” (Steve McClure) of the “Flying Farkle Family” finally came across Carlos Gene, who had apparently landed in a trailer park near the DZ. Some kids had found C.G. and he decided to stay with them." ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

That was great. Merry Christmas to you, too!

I know what you mean. My memory goes back to when about 100 blind campers sang it together. (I was an employee at a summer camp where one week out of the summer we had set aside for blind campers....of all ages). I cried when they sang the line, "Was blind, but now I see". They were the most wonderful people in the world. They continually amazed us on how independent they were. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

A word of caution here. I ordered their model G101 and although it has served me well the past 4 years (two different set of goggles...changed the first pair after 2 years), the foam on the inside of the frame tends to come unstuck quite easily. I used rubber cement to reattach the foam and this lasted for about a day....then the foam came off again. I e-mailed back and forth with sportrx's customer service about this. They knew about the problem and suggested that I go with a different model....their Wiley X SG-1. Although the picture only shows the goggle having plastic ear pieces, they said it also comes with elastic as well. Next time I order I'm getting these. The harder foam, they said, does not peel off like the G101's does. Hope this helps. (looks like they updated their web picture for the SG-1's. It now has a picture which includes the elastic band with the product) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Ever think that break off might come at a higher altitude as well? Working time might just be the same, but the break off is higher for the 400-way vs the 200-way. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Nothing to add to the first poster's rant, but I whole heartedly agree with this. In addition to health insurance, I bought into a Death and Dismemberment insurance, a large Disability insurance extra rider (available for an extra surcharge from my place of employment), and a Life Insurance policy. I learned my lesson 18 years ago when I, too, didn't have health insurance and met with a very serious injury from a horse. Luckily my family knew what to do at that time. I have -never- been without insurance since then. Too risky. When I went on unemployment for 18 months, several years ago, I skipped out on alot of 'necessities' and bought into a health insurance policy that would cover major injuries. Regular doctor visits, if needed, would be paid out of pocket. However, if there was a major need, I was covered. That only cost me about $100/month. A large chunk out of my unemployment check, but worth it for peace of mind. Get health insurance, people! At least a policy that covers major catastrophes. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

That sounds as wild as this snowball picture! Story is that 3 skydivers exited, each with the makings of a snowman in their arms. Their goal...to build a snowman in freefall!

Sobering statistics. Cameraflyers and Incidents. http://www.skydivingfatalities.info/search.asp?MinDate=1%2F1%2F1990&MaxDate=31%2F12%2F2005&Place=&State=&Country=US&Category=&MinAge=17&MaxAge=78&UnknownAge=on&MinJumps=0&MaxJumps=15000&UnknownJumps=on&AAD=&RSL=&Description=camera&DescriptionOperator=OR&Lessons=&LessonsOperator=OR Jan Davis is on March 31, 2001, along with another camera/canopy snag fatality just a few days before on March 24. Both very experienced cameraflyers. It still gives us pause. These two incidents, so close together, caused many of us to stop and re-evaluate why we got into cameraflying in the first place and if we would continue. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
