    Not true of any company insurance I've ever had. There might be exclusions in the coverage, but I've never been asked about such activities for company-provided policies. I wouldn't offer such information at the interview, unless I was certain for some reason that I should.

    Web site works for me, such as it is. http://parachutecenter.com/ It's not as busy as summer time, but I would still expect at least 20 loads on Saturday and close to that on Sunday, weather permitting. Mid-week, someone else will have to say. Look on maps at yahoo.com. Airport is maybe 6 miles north of Lodi, on HWY99.

    I doubt that he'll be getting his gold wings.

    I've jumped a Seneca with the door on -- demo jump into an airshow with FAA inspector on site. I've also seen a C-152 jumped with the door on. And bandito Grumman Tiger/Cheetah jumps.

    Get an experienced packer to let you know what they think of the fit. It will only get easier with time, as the canopy gets less slick and the container stretches a bit. Wings has had a reputation, at least at my DZ, of making the container pretty tight for the stated size. In the case of my Wings, new this year, that was absolutely not the case. I gave them a two-size range I wanted to hit (two canopies I use). It accommodates the larger with a bit of room to spare, and I don't pack that well.

    Yeah, well he will be needing a few more kg to get anything going.

    You seem to be assuming a constant rate in the 120mph range, which is very doubtful. In fact, you would be travelling slower and slower as a) the air gets denser, and b) gravity decreases to zero at the center of the earth.

    Nope. I wouldn't even put icing on it.

    At first, I couldn't understand why anyone would be voting for a really bad shag. Then I realized that it must be these folks that are causing the shag to be bad. So, to get shagged at all, they have to vote for a bad one.

    I insist that you change the name to "holiday lights."

    Have you tried that Leedom helmet in person? If it is like some of their other models, it has a dorky pullout control for changing ventilation. Whatever you buy, you need to try it for fit before purchase. You can probably do that at a local ski/snowboard shop.

    Motorcycle helmets were the dominant type, when I started jumping 33 years ago. I don't think they really offer any advantage for skydiving over a Protec or a good quality ski helmet. Our student helmets at the time were football helmets, without face masks.
  15. headoverheels
    Ski helmets are fine. Just make sure that it fits, and remove or put gaffer's tape across points (google snap) that might snag lines. My Boeri has built-in "audible pockets," just by pulling the liner away from the shell by the ear.

    Looks like I'm now doing other things.

    Which day(s)? I was supposed to go to the Sierra, but my GF's back is hurting, so I may be available.
  18. headoverheels
    Thanks, Wendy. What is the working time available?

    Actually, one of my college professors gave credit to that answer. He changed his wording on subsequent tests to "solve for x."

    ...and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet. Awesome

    "Skycoaster ride that combines skydiving and hand gliding. " Hmmm, "hand gliding."

    Hey Eric. The A license did not even exist until shortly before I started jumping, but B, C, D were already in place. My A is thousands lower than my C. Also, the USPA numbers are not consecutive from the beginning. They were actually changed after I started jumping. My first USPA number was over 32000, and may have been consecutive. Sometime later they changed the numbering scheme. I got one under 1500, which I've had ever since.

    The overstock one is actually for two sets. Still about 2x overpriced.

    Y'all are fuzzy. Was Darryl the photographer? You have to remind him to "fock ass."

    Try English next time...
