There really arent too many impurities, but a lot of moisture. Now if it was something like PCBs I wouldnt touch it, but Ive used industrial grade for many junmps, and havent had a problem with it. I'd be more concerned about too much moisture, but in the warm aircraft, freezing is unlikely.

Yeah, they do sound better Sparky. I suppose they are military. Bill Cole

not quite true. Christianity is a continuation of the Judeo religion, as per the Old Testament being followed by the New Testament. However, there is only 1 Bible that can be called the definitive WORD of God, and that is the King James version of 1611which contains both Testaments, a total of 66 books. All other versions ( i.e. NIV, RISV etc etc etc are PERversions, published ( for the most part) by Zondervan Publishing in Grand rapis Mich., and solely as a means of profit making. They all have copyrights, which the KJV does not have. Zondervan in their arrogance thinks that their company "owns" the WORD of God. Bill Cole

Sorry in being so long to answer your "questions". About six years ago, I had just completed setting up a shop, where I was building full scale aircraft. I also had an amazing collection of aviation art, many signed by the pilots from germany and Canada that were depicted in the prints .One print cost me over $500.00. One day I walked outside and told a friend that I wasnt going to build any more planes, and he asked me "WHY?" I told him, because Im going to work for the Lord. He asked me what I was going to do. I replied, " I dont know, He hasnt told me yet" I immediately put everything I own up for sale at an auction, and gave the money to my daughter. The print that cost me $500.00 was sold for $100.00 and $25.00 of that went to the auctioneer. I rent a home apartment now, I own an old car, I still have a couple of chutes, and that is about it. I really dont consider that I even own those, because the Lord provides for me, and everything I have is His, especially my heart and soul. I work for the Lord on a continuing basis, and you'd be amazed if you could spend some time and see what I have accomplished. I hope that answers your question. Bill Cole D-41

you believe what you want to, but dont start pushing your DISbelief on other people Bill Cole

never regret anything that you do if you believe in it. never allow anyone to put you down because you believe in something, or like something that they dont. More power to you, my friend. Bill Cole

also FYI: A wakaround bottle is usually about 4 to 6 inches in diameter and about 24" long. It is a thin walled bottle, ususally has 500psi, and a demand regulator, and the user can walk around a large aircraft in flight. This bottle is not heavy, and before the jump, he would do like those on the larger console, and disconnect and go on his bailout bottle. Just thought you might as well know about that one too. Bill Cole

You are partly right, but lack of parenting is allowing the children to have a constant diet of violence and pornography. That is where they learn. They have video games that their parents buy for them, which awards them pouints for killing people. Its live as you are taught...and the parents allow it. Bill Cole

a bailout bottle is a small (2" diameter X 12" long) bottle of high pressure (2000 psi) pure oxygen, that you ativate on jumprun and which will lasy you for 2 minutes. However, it is under great pressure, and it forces itself into your lungs and you have to forcibly exhale. On the climb to altitude, you are breathjing through the same mask, but it is taking the oxygen from a console, or the aircraft supply. It too is under 2000 psi, but is broken down through a regulator, and you breathe it through a demand regulator, no problem breathing or exhaling. The oxygen used, "should be" without any moisture content, because it could freeze at altitude (-65F) and the ice would block the flow. I filled my bailout bottles from welding tanks, which have moisture , but it wouldnt freeZe in the warm aircraft, and after jumping, I would be down in the ambient air before it would likely freeze. Bill Cole D-41

Ive had a freefall lasting 2 minutes and 29 seconds and its no more tiring than any oher jump. However, you are not likely to make more than one jump in a day if ats 37000 ft. The climb to altitude is usually an hour or two. Bill Cole

You are right about one thing. Jesus was perfectly innocent, and therefore was the ONLY one that could be sacrificed for you and me. A scarifice of anyone or anything less than perfect before God would be no sacrifice at all. Christ was born to be sacrificed on the cross, and He knew it. He also said (His very words) "NO MAN taketh my life..I lay it down of myself "(he was in fact willing to be crucified for mankind) He also said " I have the power to lay it down, and I have the powwer to take it again" (through his resurrection.) That is what Hedid. The fact that people like you dont want to accept him, is your problem....it may not present a problem now in 2004, but rest assured, it will when you stand before him and try to explain your rejection of his sacrifice. I'd wish you "good luck" but luck doesnt have anything to do with it...It is your fateful decision. Bill Cole

Its interesting to note that "who" killed Christ, the shot of the fist holding the nail as it is placed on the hand of Christ (in the film) is the fist of Mel Gibson himself Bill Cole

Billvon: Yes I have, but I havent for a long time (since I was saved). There isnt enough money in north America to get me working on a Sunday now, and that my friend, is a FACT. Bill Cole

Its found in many books of the Bible. The holocaust is found in Ezekiel, the end times (which is what we are living in) is found in daniel, Jeremiah. and in Revelation. Its not a metter of just reading over it and it jumps out at you, Christ said "SEARCH the scriptures for they are they which testify of me". You cannot get the real meaning behind much of the scriptures simply by reading them, and not seraching and cross referencing them. Bill Cole (and I'm no prophet)

you'll believe it when you stand before Him in judgement. and that you will !!!! Bill Cole

from the Bible...its there is you want to search it out. Bill Cole

Perhaps you are correct> I know what Christ went through...and its true, many dont. Maybe a wakeup call is what it is. I stand by what I said about in the future, many will recall the film in support of anti-semitism...which will be greater than ever before. Bill Cole

Isnt it odd how many will cling to what unbelievers write...and cannot make up their own minds. Bill Cole

Today, Mel Gibson's "Passion of Christ" filnm is being released across Canada. I have read a lot about the film, but as a born again Christian, I don't have any desire to see the film. First, I think Gibson has over brutalized the depiction, although I know Christ must have suffered unbearable anguish, especially in the scourging by the Romans. I know why Christ died, so I dont have the need to have Mel Gibson tell me through his film. Jesus Christ said "No man taketh my life from me, but I lay it down of myself" The death of Christ on the cross is the very reason He came into the world, because without his sacrifice, no person would ever enter Heaven. The film is graphically violent, perhaps more than necessary, but I dont need to witness that kind of violence. I know there is some Anti-semetic feelings throughout the world, particularly in the Arab countries, and I think in few years, people will look back on this film to reinforce the increase in anti-semetic behaviour. The time will come, ( and not too far away) that anti-semetism will be such that will make the holocaust look like a weekend picnic.. I saw the film "Saving Private Ryan" and I wouldnt watch it again. Far too much violence, and even though having been a historian , I know W W II and W W I were as terrible as shown in the film, I dont need to see it. Totally uncalled for. Is there any wonder young kids are growing up and becoming violent against othrs. Bill Cole

he didnt kill them...just increased their butt crack length. Who are you kidding??????

A HALO jump would not be allowded until Air Traffic Control gives a clear to jump permission. They arent going to allow any jet near where you are know to be in freefall. BillCole

Its people like him that make aviation what it is. Guys like Frank Tallman, Art Scholl, and many others, barnstormers, guys who wore one chute and opened just above the surface. Gosh there really are some poeple who put a great face on aviation. Thanks for telling us. Bill

I think its a shame there arent more guys like that now. Its his kind that made the sport interesting to be part of. My hat is off to him. Bill Cole

I suppose you are going to say he looks like his Dad and not his Mom...I wont believe it. very cute Bill Cole

No....to your question about the Old and New testaments. You cannot have one without the other, they are both an equal part in God's WORD. The two halves of God's WORD that make up the Bible, are as important one to the other as the two parts of the day, Evening and morning, that constitute the fullness of the day. If Christians were to reject the Old Testament and only focus on the New Testam,ent, they would be rejecting Creation, the flood of Noah, the end days of this world as told In Daniel and much more. It is all a very important part of Christianity and cannot be separated . Bill Cole
