You bring up a good point. But those are the people who say this is what you should do to keep it safe. People who have no clue about the reg's or what is done behind the scenes with the MX dept. A plane crashes or has an accident and before the flames are even doused out you have some people screaming what should be done before the cause is even known. Most jumpers dont care anyway. A lot have the attitude "Thats why I have a parachute" attitude. And the proof of that statement is the shit a lot lod of DZ's call an airplane. Some of the places I have been to have abosolute junk for lift that I wouldnt go anywhere near. Even if the everyday Joe had access to the MX records on a certain jumpship they would have no idea what the hell they were looking at. STC's, AD's, 337's. They would be clueless. When an annual is done a lot of time is spent by the A&P just doing research on what has already been done and what has not been complied with yet in terms of inspections like AD's. So the weekend jumper is not going to spend the time making sure the DZ is up to snuff. In my mind the only thing you can do is trust the DZ is doing what is rewuired to keep the plane airworthy. I know thats not what most want to hear but thats the way it is. Heres a thought. If the plane looks like a total piece of shit, it probably is.

Not really. The 777 came out in the 90's. United was the intro company to first receive it. This had to be one of the so called "older ones" since you can no longer get the 777 with the RR Trent on th wing. GE is the sole provider for the power now on the 777. It is very rare. About 18 months ago we had one of our 777's blow the LPT out the back. It blew right before they hit V1 and they did a RTO. Brakes where a little hot. They swapped plane and the flight left a few hours late. 18 Hours later we had a new motor on and the plane was on it's way. It is bery rare for the motor to blow like that but it does happen.

Oh man I hear ya! I was there before Christmas with my wife. The flight down was complete hell. These to fucking kids were tackling each other in there seats and the mom just sat there the entire flight and never said a word. I never heard so many kids screaming at once in my life. I didnt walk off the plane. I ran! I thought I was free. Nope! The terminal was just as bad. Thank god Avis had my car keys in 30 seconds! I couldnt leave the airport fast enough.

0 for me. I took some time off so this year was a bust. I plan on getting back this year. Maybe go to a few boogies if I can get the time off work. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

When I was is HS we went outside to watch the eclipse. I was in metal shop and all of us had welding shields on so I think we were safe. It was really cool to watch. I dont know how someone could look into the sun with no protection. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

I know what your talking about. I had a sharp pain in that area after work one day. I did some heavy lifting that night and in some weird positions. Come to find out I am just out of shape and need to work out and stretch a little. But the little bit of pain did get my attention and make me worry a little.

I had one about 3 inches left of my junk. Repaired and never a problem with it. That was before I was 18 and jumping so I dont know what kind of recovery you would need before you jump again. Never had any problems while jumping because of it. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

I think a lot of people who look at there own checkbook can agree with you. It's a shame the asshats in Washington keeps giving money away like there are no consequences or end in sight. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
