  1. Those "27 supposedly reported issues" have been written up by the FAA and the NTSB. Those 27 issues are now part of the FFA Accident and Incident Database (AIDS) with a 15 digit reports number. The FAA is using these reports to support implementation of AC, AC 150/5300-13. Remi, do you think they are going to all this trouble to make it easier for jumpers to gain assess to airport? I don’t think so. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  4. Clean up what,Sparky? How many interactions between skydivers and GA are you awa of? The reports that was linked to is not very damming. 27. You should read the OP complete post. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  5. Would this work Squeak, I am disappointed in you. Did they tell you that the medication won’t work unless you take it everyday? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  6. And this comes as a surprise? Some people are just dense. The FAA Administrator did all but come out and say if we didn’t clean it up he would. Sparky http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4286900#4286900 My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  8. I just posted it. I am not claiming it as my own. My political views are something I usually keep to myself. Discussing them face to face is foolish, discussing them over the net is like waving a red flag to the trolls. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  9. Then you can start by reading the Constitution yourself. Nowhere in the Constitution is there any mention of "Christian beliefs". In fact there is only on one mention of religion in document. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” I agree with on the Constitution but you beliefs and way of life are debatable big time. By the way I too am a Vietnam Vet and it does not give me the right to slander the beliefs of others any more than it does you. This country gives you the right to live your life anyway you see fit, within limits, but it does not give you the right to dictate to others how to live theirs.

  10. Like I put in the Re: line. Someone emailed it to me and I thought others would find it “interesting” to discuss. I have no dog in this fight. I think they are both assholes.

  13. Know the material in this manual or at least know where to look for the information. Time for Whine and cheese. Light the flames. Sparky http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/aircraft/media/FAA-H-8083-17.pdf My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  14. "The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of Idiots such as those who made him their president." Source – Kind of vauge. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  18. John, Spend a little time watching deployment video. I am convinced that many of the “brake fires” are the result of jumpers reaching up and grabbing the risers while the canopy is deploying. With the new Velcro-less toggles it doesn’t take much to pull them loose. You never saw this with the old Velcro toggles. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  22. ~ Landing at Carolina Sky Sports following the Century of Flight demo at Kitty Hawk. Night, marginal weather, tall trees on each side of the strip, coming in hot & heavy in a sky-van with a tired pilot...IF they would have let me get out ~ I WOULD HAVE! I would have been right behind you.

  24. I saw a 'mobile unit' years back when this was happening fresh...it was a 2-ton hyrdalic cylinder with a hand pump like a car jack that was mounted on a piece of 4x4. Now that I think about it, just about any good redneck could figure out a way to perform such a test. Are you calling me a redneck? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
