    You can check The Ranch DZ for his credibility rating. And check with them if there any slots left in the Dead Pool. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Damn, the first time I don't preview my post before posting and I use the wrong little button to make it a clicky.... You got me. Is there a way to make a clicky with just one button? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I have an Oxygen A3 that I wear with Ray Ban sunglasses that are prescription and the work well. (wrap around). If I had it to do over again I would give a serious look at the Mamba by Bonehead. Maybe BillVon will jump in with some infor. for you, he was jumping one last week. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Micheal, that's sad, if I die because of this sport would you please kill me! No, its not sad, its just the way life is. In 1968 I started my career at a Firefighter. Retired in 1997. Of the 15 guys that hired on about the same time I did, I am the only one still alive. Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you.

    This canopy has 1100/1300 jumps and has never had a line replacement? A good habit to get into is go over your main at least every 30 days. And take your time to check everything. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I just looked over a picture of a 64 way I was part of in 1981. I could only pick out less then 10 that are still jumping, but 6 that are dead. Spark My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Are you sure it is a guy. They are also wearing a pink helmet. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    And when you say drawing and patterns, there are the "working patterns" and the "master patterns" and then the "master drawings" and the "working drawing" and it goes on and on. Thanks Mick! Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Mick, If you could, please post a material/data spec. sheet. It will show just how detailed things can get when manufacturing and latter making repairs to a rig. And I agree with you, "your average jumper" needs to become better informed on the gear they jump with. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Do you think Bill Booth know's all? and also do you think the fatalities in question COULD have been prevented with a regular ol RSL?? I think they could have... although it is nice for bill to offer his skyhook for free....you'd think it'd be standard equipment though if it could save so many lives.....just food for thought. and by the way...Bill Boothe didn't put up the post...Derek did. No, I do not think he knows all, but he knows a damn site more than most of us. Before you comment, read the post. I was not questioning if an RSL or Skyhook would have made a difference in this incident. I was questioning someone deciding what Bill or any other poster meant and editing their post. If his opinion is different, say so. Don't alter another's words to fit his ideas. Sparky By the way, who do you think told Derek to put up the post? Once again read before you comment, Who's name is under the post? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Not a chance - hell, you can probably find almost 10 Airspeed members past and present that have 15000 jumps. Still, an awesome accomplishment! Canuck Penta Ruby Wings (15,000 jumps) number 8 was awarded to Simon Wade in the Sept. 2005 Parachutist. Seems there is "a chance in hell" that she may very well be number 10. Remember that those are only people that apply for the award. Sparky I know Dan BC has over 22,000. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Was this post directed at me or genitor? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I didn't say it was relevant. It will tend to give you some credibility. As for the last part of your post, if you really believe that you need to get out more. jmo Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    The owner could do what ever he/she wants. I could care less, not my rig. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    That was the point I was trying to make, I guess I could have just come right out and said it. Although some may consider the second skin "applique"(sp) IE: cosmetics like stripes, piping etc and not an "alteration". Uh oh it's getting grey in here again. Mick. If you are making a change from the original drawing it sounds to me like that would be an alteration. Without testing how can you say there would be no affect on function. Since there is nothing broken, nothing is being repaired. Seems pretty simple to me. But then again what would I know. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Edited for accuracy. Do you feel qualified to edit a post put up by Bill Booth. He just might have meant "Skyhook". Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Matt, I agree with you and have spent a great deal of time with the FSDO's in my area getting them used to seeing my smiling face and providing them with as much information as they will accept. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I don't need the luck, I am not doing the tests.

    An overlay of the reserve flaps is not a repair, major or minor. It is an alteration. Nothing is being repaired, it is being altered. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
