Holy crap look at all the junk he wears on his head… He’s got like 12 still cameras, 8 video cameras, a slide projector, VCR and Beta machine, laser beam, missiles, and a perfectly groomed Magnum P.I. mustache! Impressive to say the least. And with all that he's still a regular joe just like the rest of us. A great guy with personality to match. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Skydive City Banned from Skydiving--Australia
ltdiver replied to ltdiver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
3 years later, more trauma for Luke McWilliam. Sigh... http://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/article/2008/02/22/11588_news.html POLICE escorted skydive operator Luke McWilliam from Barwon Heads Airport yesterday after he refused to obey an eviction notice. Police were called to the airport when McWilliam refused to leave a leased hangar. It is understood he failed to make rent payments. The eviction came as South Barwon MP Michael Crutchfield urged the aviation watchdog to investigate Skydive City, owned by Mr McWilliam. Barwon Heads Airport management and users have been locked in a long-running feud with Mr McWilliam. Mr Crutchfield wrote a letter urging the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to act after Mr McWilliam's business recently used an illegal runway on his property next to the airport. Yesterday, several Bellarine police officers escorted the skydive boss to his neighbouring property after witnesses reported him becoming upset when the airport owner told him to leave. The eviction squeezes Mr McWilliam out of the airport. He was banned from using the airport landing strips last May _ forcing him to use an illegal airstrip on his property or on another private runway. An eviction notice from the landlord's lawyer, Martin Reid, of Geelong's Coulter Roache Lawyers, said Mr McWilliam was in breach of the lease and needed to vacate the hangar by yesterday. Mr McWilliam told the Geelong Advertiser yesterday he would only answer written questions by email and not before last night's deadline. Bellarine police were unable to provide further details, but cited the intervention as a ``civil matter''. Mr Crutchfield wrote to CASA yesterday after the aviation watchdog previously refused to act on the illegal airstrip which Mr McWilliam told City Hall was simply a ``road''. The MP's letter said Mr McWilliam's operations were questionable and that the aviation watchdog should review Skydive City's licensing and safety procedures. ``I believe these operations and activities not only potentially threaten other Barwon Heads Airport operators/pilots but also local communities which aircraft fly over,'' Mr Crutchfield wrote. ``In my view, CASA in the past have been slow to respond to complaints at this airfield and I would welcome your assistance in having this matter thoroughly investigated.'' The City of Greater Geelong was currently mounting a legal challenge on the illegal airstrip that was built without council approval. Mr McWilliam previously explained the airstrip was just ``a f------ paddock'' and recent excavations on his property part of a road network. Days later, 13 flights associated with Skydive City used the airstrip, located within 200m of the existing Barwon Heads Airport runway.

Stuck here at home and wondering how this annual fun meet is going there at Perris today. How many 10-way teams showed? I know Jumpzilla's are there, defending their Gold Medal victory from last year. Anyone worthy there to challenge them? Is the Jet up and running for the last round like last year? . I LOVE 10-way out of the DC-9. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

I seem to recall that too, but I'm not searching through that thread! I recall this statement as well. So, I did a cursory search and found this. Not the exact phrase (wherever that may reside) but a statement that implies that his health was in serious jeopardy and we logically imply that this also means failing health. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3027194;search_string=duane%20health;#3027194 ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Started to watch but changed the channel when it appeared that this game show is just WAY too slow. Pick up the tempo, host, or it'll go the way of so many other lame shows of the past. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Actually, its' "how do they know when to flare for landing..." "When the leash goes limp". (just ask John Flemming.

Yeah, but I'm thinking of human survival, not canopy strength.

Have you heard this story? Woman is lucky to be alive! 32,000' in a storm. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/02/17/wparag17.xml ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Love watching Kittenger bail from his gondola and fall away. Amazing that the exit camera kept catching glimpses of him in freefall. Too bad the music group who posted that particular rendition added their own water-stuff 1/2 way through. Kind of takes away from the magisty of it all with that perversion. Let's try this video instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81gn2oLeC_U Can't wait for Skydive Radio to post their interview with Kittenger later this year. :^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

We know about U.S.'s Cheryl Sterns. We know about France's Michel Fournier. Now, who's this Steve Truglia who's captured this week's press? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article817428.ece And as usual, the first and foremost obstacle is the $$. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Calling Dr kbordson! Comment please? Why would an OBGYN want to write an article like this, or is it more like "The Onion"? Who'd like to volunteer and join the trial to take the placebo? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Think like a criminal and how this -might- give them the edge. Just a split second hesitation by a cop, wondering if he's shooting a kid with a toy, and the gang member wins. Cop down...Dead. Makes me sick to think of it. You sound like a very involved and great parent! Keep spreading the word on how to raise kids these days. More need to hear your hard won wisdom. You're on the right track. :^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
