Got to love PBS once in awhile! Fun documentary on "Cars of the Future" just concluded with Tom and Ray making it not only fun but intriguing. I know billvon posted about Tesla Motors back in

Wendy! Here's a study just down your ally then!

I think it's a ploy to get us to tune in each week. ltdiver ...and Simon gives her the "look" more and more often Is that the look of 'I gotta have you!", or "I just did and nobody knows", or "__________"? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

After the past 2 week's performances I'm going to have to recant my original final 2 prediction. I believed in Carly, but now she's gone. I liked David and David, but the "Disney Boy" has grown tiresome (however he doesn't lick his lips anymore, did you notice?). The 2 I'd like to see in the finals are now David Cook and Syesha. That woman has found her voice and style now...and is not afraid to use it. Her clarity of tone and connection with the song has risen to a level where she'll be remembered now. For those going home....I really really hope its either Jason or Brooke. I think you're correct in stating Jason looks like he's tired and wants to go. Both he and Brooke can't seem to break out of their boring style... Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

I don't have a Rawa, but this search turned up a few threads. Perhaps you can start there? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=forum_7&search_type=AND&search_string=rawa+cameye ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

New rig... Jumpsuit color ideas? :-)
ltdiver replied to jpechbre's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I'm presuming that that container and canopy is 'new to you' and actually a formerly owned rig? My advice is to get your new jumpsuit with the colors -you- like and might invest in over the coming years when you upgrade everything. Don't get locked into the former owner's color scheme (unless you really really like it, too). If you're like most skydivers you'll upgrade everything at about 200-300 jumps anyway. Why not color coordinate around your personally designed jumpsuit instead of the other way around then? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon -
Those are really cool breeds, and if I had a cat it'd probably be along those lines. However, can I interest you in one of my neighbor's new kitties? (yeah, this is the neighbor who already has 20+ feral cats and now one of the cats has a litter of kittens.) Please rescue us! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

PBS miniseries "Carrier" USS Nimitz starts Sun Apr27
ltdiver replied to marcandalysse's topic in The Bonfire
I was hoping to see the actual workings of the Nimitz, but perhaps that's too restricted. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon -
Well, we weren't talking about Cooper in our exchange, now were we. You asked for personal experience (I believe). Thankfully I've never had to use a round canopy (although my student rig had a round reserve which I had to receive training for in case I ever had to use it). And yes, I believe that rounds (and reserves) do open a bit quicker than my personally packed main.

From a jet exit vs canopy opening? The jet exit, no question. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

And your other post (of the 2 you've made) is just as helpful as this one. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3192466;#3192466 ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

First, It's my belief that Ben won't do a high speed pass for jump run, so it can't be exactly apples to apples. Second, I personally don't like the thought of jumping a NB6 and a 28. Third, although I'd love to test the theories out personally, I can't. Shoulder injury earlier this year will keep me out of the sky for a few more months. And then, perhaps, permanently out of the jet (due to it's exit forces on the arms). Ever think about contacting Troy Hartman? He'd have the resources, passion, and back-up for such a study. Unsolved History TV-Troy Hartman on DB Cooper Ben -might- do a high speed pass for him (if Hollywood would foot the bill).

Perhaps most of the time. However I can state most assuredly that the Perris DC-9's exit force (over a very short period of time) is alot more than my nicely opening Spectre-135 at 4,000' AGL. I pack my canopy to take 1,000' to inflate (and my freefall speed is quite low, I'm only 180# out the door and 5'10" tall. My normal freefall speed is comfortably 105-110mph). Cooper's presumed weight was 170-190# and 5' 10"- 6' tall (taking the outside measurements from both Muklow and Schaffner). Money bag's weight = 22#. Add the weight of the NB6 rig ~ 40#? Exit speed 170 knots. Deceleration time to terminal? Perhaps 3-4 seconds (guessing here)? Immediate force after clearing the dead air out the rear door is the greatest component and less than a second. Exit altitude believed to be 10,000' MSL. F = m x a. Any of you math wizards out there have at it and prove me wrong. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

I took 2 old drouges (retired ones) and hung them on each side of the drapes. Nice little touches, and great conversation starters.
