What traffic pattern?LOL From what I witnessed, the main area had a tendancy of bottle-necking, and I saw many close-shaves. I don't know about Rantoul however. Just for interesting reading: www.deadmike.com Dont forget to take advantage of the free LO, i think it's at tent #3. They were awesome. ---------------------------------------------------- If the shit fits - wear it (blues brothers)--

You may get some mixed responses here.. but here's my take: I went to wffc in 98 with 12 sport jumps, and registered there as a student. I then teamed up with a coach (Doug Park - Deland Magik). I always landed in the quieter landing areas. Never had a prob. I went again the following year with 51 jumps, and teamed up with the good organizors from tent 3. Again, I simply kept out of the way with regards to landing areas. It was always a longer walk back to manifest and packing, but worth it. If you are from a small cessna DZ, be extra vigilant regarding traffic, because the traffic at the wffc is mind-blowing, and potentially dangerous. Disclaimer: I am a low timer, but am simply passing on my experiences. ---------------------------------------------------- If the shit fits - wear it (blues brothers)--

I don't know if this is true, but someone once told me that flat packing greatly reduces the odds of a line-over..can anyone confirm this? ---------------------------------------------------- If the shit fits - wear it (blues brothers)--

Have I f****d it? It looks like my altimeter got accidently washed with my jumpsuit in the washing machine :( Seeing as the alti is the mechanical type, I was wondering if it's still OK.. I will of course get someone to carry it on a jump to observe it.. ---------------------------------------------------- If the shit fits - wear it (blues brothers)--

The shoes is a very good idea..you will be amazed at the difference that a quality running shoe will make. I too lost weight via jogging, but I do mine on a treadmill nowadays at the gym (with a MP3 player on) because the treadmill is cushioned compared to ashphalt. ---------------------------------------------------- If the shit fits - wear it (blues brothers)--

I think the bar fly does this in central and south america. Certainly on animals it's a fact, humans are rare cases, it does happen though.. ---------------------------------------------------- If the shit fits - wear it (blues brothers)--

I recalled another example..lol.. My wife works at a Walmart Distribution warehouse, and they get freebie t-shirts. They had a 600 print run of t-shirts for all the associates. On the front of the t-shirt was 'Pershible Shipping' instead of Perishable.lmao OK I'll quit now...I'm just thinking of what the Brits are known for..ahh...bad teeth! ---------------------------------------------------- If the shit fits - wear it (blues brothers)--

Of course, however, I wasn't used to seeing it on signs... Even our fancy scroll text marriage certificate has a typo lol. ---------------------------------------------------- If the shit fits - wear it (blues brothers)--

Having been in TX for 3 years, I have noticed that the general quality of spelling around here is awful... I am not refering to 'American English' v 'The Queen's English (color v colour etc), but simply bad spelling. When I drive along the I-35, or when I go anywhere further afield, I pass the time by 'spell spotting' (I need a life, I know). Additionally, why is it that I always see signs that mix upper and lower case letters? "CoMe to oUR GaRaGe SAle at 10 aM" for example. This isn't a dig at Americans, I was just curious, seeing as pre-University education over here seems impressive in comparison to the UK... ---------------------------------------------------- If the shit fits - wear it (blues brothers)--

I am trying to get in touch with 'john the jeweler' who used to skydive at Hinton in the UK back in 99-2000. Hopefully some Brits on here know him. ---------------------------------------------------- If the shit fits - wear it (blues brothers)--

'toe the line' and 'up to scratch' are sayings that came from the prize fighting days of pugilism. Each fighter was told to come to the center of the ring at the start of a fight, where a 'scratch' was chalked or dug into the earth. Still on boxing.....ding ding 'seconds out', comes from the same era, the guys fighting 'second' on the bill were the top billing guys corner men... and finally...'freeze the balls off a brass monkey' has naval origins. Cannon balls on ships were stacked in a recepticle called a 'monkey' that was made of brass, when the temp' dipped to freezing, the brass would distort, resulting in cannon balls falling off... ok, last one... 'the whole nine yards', has two theories of origin... 1. Nine yards was the length of .50 cal ammo belts used in the p-51d Mustang in WWII 2. It takes a whole nine yards of cloth to tailor a suit. ..im off to bed. ---------------------------------------------------- If the shit fits - wear it (blues brothers)--
