    I'm turning fifty. Formation loads on that day. Creak! Was that my back? I'm turning fifty. Who could know that was so young when only eighteen? I'm turning fifty. I told my favorite aunt "you must be real old!" I'm turning fifty. I'm sure that my sweetheart will make me twenty-five. I'm turning fifty. Did I think I would still jump in thirty-two years? I'm turning fifty. I am sure that I have socks older than you are.

    Which part of the flare did you like better on the Spectre? Since it was smaller than the Sabre2, it had more airspeed and the initial plane-off will be stronger. I would expect the Saber2 to have a lower stall speed/lower touchdown speed, especially in the larger size you jumped.

    Watch out, Lany, I found this: clicky

    Don't worry, you are just blind, so you didn't see that Peter said "More info will be added to the news section and registration info as we get closer to the event."

    What's he doing with his hands? Offering some sort of Dutch shocker?

    She's busy with new techniques to sublimate her sex drive.

    From what I understand, the DC3 just doesn't compete with the operating expense per jumper of a Twin Otter or similar aircraft. Jumpers also prefer the quicker ride to altitude in the turbine aircraft.

    I don't want to be called a SOFtie!

    $15 to 13k single ticket; $13 in blocks of 50 tickets. Ticket plus $2 for formation loads to 15k.

    He was reputed for his flatulence. To this day, one often hears "Jesus, was that you?"

    Why didn't Jesus get into college? He got crossed up on the boards.

    Just so happens that a Sam 120 will be shipped to me on Monday Demo or purchase? Now that you have that other thing coming, send the Sam my way.

    It's easier to get forgiveness than permission. But maybe use condom and no one would know.

    It was working, but doesn't seem to be at this moment.

    Who is going to Roger Ponce's big-way in July?
  20. headoverheels
    That's probably because you can't remember! Don't worry, it will come to you.

    Some are. I remember a secretary (remember those?) in my group commenting that she was "dating a Porsche." She had some pretty nice headlights herself.

    I hope you feel better soon. I've had more than one friend cause some very permanent damage by jumping when their "landing gear" was less than sound, so don't push things until you are 98%. Anyway, you need to put a hundred jumps on that friend's 150 before moving to yours.

    This isn't you, is it?

    Hey Jeff, Avoid the temptation to always be landing on the smooth grass area when there is traffic around. That's a pretty small area for a full otter load, depending on how the vertical separation is. In choosing your canopy type and size, you want something that you can land out in the rough, occasionally downwind, and be happy. As I said, based on my short intro to the Spectre, I wouldn't load it over about 1.3, because it will not slow down enough for my old knees in out/no-wind conditions. The first part of the flare will feel stronger/faster with the smaller canopy, and it will "swoop" farther, but there is no way that the smaller canopy of the same design can be made to go as slow before it stops flying and you have to touch down.

    I think I paid interest one or two months, ever.
