Sorry don't have any kids

Hi R We jumped the jet in 94 no pic it but got the certificate DB cooper # 1646 to prove it. Jump altitude? Sorry to lazy to look it up Airspeed not sure but fast enough that your slowing down in freefall. Ever see a rock skip across a pond? thats what it was like to exit the jet at whatever the exit speed was. We really don't see the attraction of doing ultra hi altitude jump from 30k for $300. different stroke for different strokes IMO I'd settle for the 21K exit and save the money for other stuff. I'll throw another variable into the Jet equation. Whats the minimum number of jumpers that the jet will T.O. with? If it's dropping jumpers be sure you get on the first load just in case. It would be nice if the WFFC folks confirmed that the DB cooper cerificates(extra $$) & numbers were available again. Don't worry be happy

NEWS FLASH - Horses, Balance, Dogs, Balance and Making the Rounds

That would be Laura, my physical therapist. Don't let her beauty deceive you...I'll leave it at that. She's way cool, evil sometimes, but cool. Hi G "No pain, no gain". Ditto on what everyone else said. -
We watched a T.V. show about plastic surgery, tats and other body mods. The best one IMO was the guy who wanted a scar from a bullet wound for his modeling career. No problem ambulance was waiting outside the dude even got to choose the caliber. He was a little upset when the artist shot him on the count of 2 rather than 3 as briefed. Also seemed surprised at the amount of pain. Hmm lets see 22, 9mm, 38, 44 mag, 45. I think he settled for the 9mm in the fleshy part of the arm between the shoulder and elbow. R.I.P. R.I.P.

Hi Nice video Nice tandem Nice landing Great plane ride (looks like maybe 6 jumpers on the ride to altitude in a plane that usually hold 20 jumpers) Thats first class stuff I'm going to take a WAG that you were jumping during the week with the worker bee's. Check out the DZ during the weekend when the fun jumpers are around. Don't be disappointed when the waiter doesn't hang with you after you've been served they have other tables to wait on. R.I.P.

Hi D Using H No Way Jose My guess SOS, probably more bang for the buck, but bottom line just a different package that will kill you R.I.P.

Hi We try and keep all instructions for future use But sometimes its easier to go to the manufactures websight and find the instructions there. We live in a area that usually diesn't need A/C. But once in a while we will get a spike into the 90's and the fans just won't do it. Solution: window A/C for one bedroom, use as required. Central A/C in a large home isn't the most efficient thing to have unless your using the entire house. But with a central located thermostat to bad so sad even if you zoned off some of the unused rooms you might be screwed. Rental property Owners don't care about your electric bill R.I.P. R.I.P.

You left off Fred Jr. and his dead girlfriend and the missing mother of said dead girlfriend. Wonderful group of people. (fuckers) I guess this has turned into a debate of "rights" verses "right or wrong". J Hi J We just did a real quick google on Papa Fred. His autobio has a real nice pic and leaves out a lot of info from other sources. Sons Dead girlfriend and missing moma for some reason I'm not surprised. Just not worth my time doing research on the Papa Fred. would be interesting to see what happened if his "church" of hate" lost their tax free status. Looks to me like some people in SC who can type real fast want to dazzle ea other with thier intellect and wisdom so they can bait ea. Sorry I'm not impressed "Right"? Lets not forget about the commie pinko "Left" wing liberals. SC Why did I expect anything different. R.I.P.

Since a large proportion of Fred Phelp's children are litigation lawyers, a long, long time. They make a lot of their money by suing people and winning. Wendy W. Hi WW After reading your message we did a quick google on the Phelps clan. Papa Phelps had been accepted to attend West Point but got a message from the "Big guy" to go somewhere else. Papa Phelps was also a Lawyer until he had to give up his right to practice law. The "voice" papa heard this time was at the state level. Papa Phelps had 13 kids many of them became lawyers. Some of them have moved away from the clan and are no longer in contact. Three of the Phelps clan that are still hanging tight with Papa are Lawyers and are employed by the Kansas DOC system in mid level management positions. Will the ACLU decide to expend their limited resources to defend a family lawyers? Maybe, Maybe not. OTOH Papa Phelps is still in direct communication at the "highest level". So either way the courts decide the big guy at the highest level will send anyone that has supported the effort to restrict Papa Phelps right to free speech, to hell for a very long time.. Be careful what you say in this foeum the big guy is watching and he's on Papa Phelps side. R.I.P.

They're the ones that pulled the trigger. Personal responsibility: if you shoot an unarmed civilian in the head in a revenge attack you deserve to be put on trial for murder. If you didn't do it, you'll be aquitted. That I agree on. Its easy for me sitting in my armchair with my wife and hounds and think what I'd like to do when faced with the decisions that the marines have to make. Howeveer the reality is I've never been in the marines, had folks trying to kill me, watching my friends die a horriable death, and know that I might be next.I don't know how I would act. Unless I've walked in a marines shoe's I can't judge them R.I.P.

Me thinks You all have been trolled and took the bait. We've all seen these type of folks on this websight before and we will see them again. First time shame on them second time shame on us. R.I.P.

Control Tower possibly going up in DeLand
slug replied to skymama's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
If the tower gets closed down by the FAA because it's not cost effectivve to spend federal resources to have a contoller in the tower because it's under utilized maybe it will be tall enough for other sports activites -
When you think you'veseen/heard it all What could they be thinking R.I.P.

Control Tower possibly going up in DeLand
slug replied to skymama's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
There's another way to measure the economic impact. The loss of 450 parachute industry/DZ related jobs would be a big hit on the local exonomy for a lot of small towns. R.I.P. -
Some of us old farts remember people doing silly things (in hindsight) during weather loads like trying to tow a PC behind a car. What everyone else said. ain't worth it. OTOH this is a good example of the positive value of DZ.com learn from others mistakes. R.I.P.

Wonderhog and stratostar - I dare ya!
slug replied to councilman24's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
We jumped with ours until we quit around 2003. A packer in Fl told us "dude you need a new reserve, that swift is only half a canopy". We used ours twice, once at terminal and it always worked (of course) and we had stand up landings each time. Why mess with success for the latest and greatest. R.I.P. -
Drink a gal of water when you get t the DZ and don't pee until after the jump The extra seven pounds will temp. help your fall rate (no calories) and you'll want to get to the ground asap so you don't pee your pants. R.I.P.
