  1. I think you'd prefer it in the 1920's, since it was more authoritarian then than now. I guess being born in the 30's is a slight consolation for you. You just don't get it do you? You need to grow up, grown ups don't wine to get their way. You and Benny make a good pair. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  2. Benny, Benny. It's not how much is on your 1099 that will flag an audit, but what and how much you list on your Schedule C, Profit or loss from Business. They don't care how much you make, but how much you deduct. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  3. I'll jump with you, let me know when. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  4. Opps, it's that damn dyslexia. Thanks for catching it. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  5. Someone has to be first. Sparky It has to be the person in the middle with the first pilot chute extraction before ANYONE turns! You wait for the P/C, at break off altitude I'm leaving. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  6. Door slamming What was that noise? Benny sneaking out But he was going to explain "Realistic, historically consistent national security policy." to all of us. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  7. Just in case you haven't noticed, this is not the 20's. Alcohol is legal and pot is not. No shit, really. I think we can skip the history lesson, but thanks for the offer. The issue is that the use of either one fucks you up. Its that simple. No more questions, class is over. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  8. Who are you? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  9. Thanks for the information, that is the first I have heard of that happening. No it is not beer. In any case, if you test + you go to jail, remember it is illegal. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  10. If they test + for THC now it is a good bet they were + 1 to 2 hours earlier when the accident happened. They don't back you up on anything. Sorry I miss read, so could you show me where some tested + for anything after eating a bagel? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  11. I hope you know, no one is trying to flame you. Arlo, GravityGirl, dgskydive and diablopilot do this for a living, sell gear that is. Listen to them, they have nothing to gain and you have everything to lose. jmo Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  12. Sorry to hear so many people lost their job. They also have an R&D and manufacturing facility in So. Cal. They were bought by Airborne Systems, the parent company of Para-Flite. Irvin and Para-Flite were in competition on the ATPS program. They bought Irvin and that was settled. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  13. THC can be detected in urine for up to 30 days but only 4-8 hours in blood. Here is a site that explains how it affects a person. http://www.iupui.edu/~iutox/isdt/marijuana.htm Could you show me where someone ate a bagel and tested + for THC?

  14. Try upsizing to a 210 Spectre. I understand they have great openings. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  15. I can accept your view but I cannot respect it. When good men do nothing, bad things happen. You are either part of the solution or part of the problem. By not acting you are saying this behavior is OK. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  16. Show me where I jumped on someone other than A/S. Check his history. And I did share my opinions, Driving, jumping, flying while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is dangerous. After spending 30 years seeing the results of this behavior, how about you acknowledging my experiences and admit that I may know something about the subject? Having an open mind runs both ways.

  17. Strong emotional basis? Yep, you're right. You don't have the fucking right to hook yourself in front of the whole USPA BOD nearly hitting several kids and a few adults on a dock killing yourself! You don't have the fucking right to make us clean your shit up! And you don't have the right to make us deal with your aftermath. Fucking bullshit this is! Don't ever fucking get on my plane! I can never trust you or anyone like you to jump sober. I'll always have to have an eye out for you so I'll make it easy. You are not welcome on my plane ever. That just about covers it. There are no shades of gray. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  18. Do you have a facts to back this up or are you just running you mouth again? I think you just want to argue. To drive drunk/stoned is stupid, case closed. Me thinks me smells Troll. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  19. Installing slider stops with slinks takes way more time than 5 minutes. Kris, if you get them, I will put them on for you. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  20. Two years ago AERO, the comany I worked for, was testing for them in So. Cal. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  21. First, there are no shades of gray when your actions endanger others. I am not sure if you just don't understand this or if you just like to argue. Second, yes I was in the military and proud of it. Just a wild guess, you were not, and probably shudder at the thought. Third, no I was not a cop, I spent 30 years as a firefighter/paramedic dealing with the results of drunk/stoned drivers. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  22. We have to work on getting our timing down. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  23. And I repeat! Stoned or drunk, there is no difference, if they are driving, flying or jumping they are a danger to themselves and others. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  24. The older ejection seats still use round canopies. "Old" being military aircraft designed, oh, let's say more than 10 years ago. Which means most of them. The exception is a few of the newer models, which have ram-airs, I understand. I think planes like the F-15 and/or F-16 use a ram-air chute. That system is called "ACES" for AirCrew Ejection System. My brother flew FA-18's, and all he had was a 20' round chute. What you see in movies has no relationship to real life, of course. They usually splice in a shot of a paracommander descent after the shot of a pilot ejecting - and paracommanders have never used in ejection seats. They are way too bulky. The movie "Bat 21" comes to mind, with Gene Hackman. All ejection seats use round canopies. The "ACES II" seat uses a variation of the 28' flat C-9. The F-18 seat uses a GQ-1000 that has an inflated diameter of about 17'. There is a test and evaluation program going on now to replace it with one of possibly 2 or 3 other chute. One is the modified C-9 developed by AERO, one is the ACES canopy developed by Irvin of Canada and one is the GQ 5000. I have been involved in most of the testing of the first two but have no idea what third one is like. Part of the problem with using a ramair canopy is getting to survive the high speed, 600 Kt., ejection speed. That would be over 400 kt. at line stretch.

  25. Wrong. People who are drunk tend to be full of confidence and bravado, whereas people who are stoned tend to be cautious. I have known people who have driven when stoned and they drove at about 20mph. The same people drunk drove way too fast. There definately is a difference. Stoned or drunk, there is no difference, if they are driving, flying or jumping they are a danger to themselves and others. If believe they aren't, you have been living under the bridge. Sparky Edit to include, Have you ever wondered why they are driving 20 mph on the freeway. There brain is going 20 mph in the fast lane. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
