Damn, Bill and lawndart, Give me a fucking brake!!!! Spout your realities and feel superior, or get behind a great goal. Bill, damn you in particular, you understand the impact of a mass ideal, set in motion. I didn't just fall off the boat either, but damn it, get on board or shut the fuck up! Thank you for your support!

OK KRIS, But a more positive attitude might result in what, 50% reduction. Get with the plan, stan. zero , zero, zero.

Sangrio, I think that my post of 8-2-05 regards zero fatalities in 2006, merits a top profile position, or whatever you call it. Can you agree and make it happen?

NO!! Damn it, don't wait 5 more months before you start worrying. Worry now!

ATTENTION, ATTENTION! To all skydivers, base jumpers, jump pilots, dzo's, general aviation pilots, FAA, and any other interested parties: I propose a goal for 2006. "ZERO FATALITIES". Sounds simple, eh? It will not be simple. It will require the dedication of thousands of individuals. From the 'not so current' weekend jumper to ask for help, and be responsive to constructive criticisim, to the dzo to pay attention to and be willing to 'BURKE' the super star, youngster, getting ahead of himself. The thousands I refer to are you and I. Pay attention!!!!!!! From gear checks, to asking about aircraft maintenance. Here's a secret, skydivers love to talk skydiving, pilots love to talk flying airplanes, dzo love to talk business. Dzo's aren't in it for the money alone, pilots aren't in it for the time alone, skydivers aren't in for the freefall alone. ******* FATALITIES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE ***** FATALITIES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!! Repeat this please. FATALITIES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! PS. I do not have the capability or where with all to publish this note. Anyone, please feel free to forward to USPA or parachutist or skydiver or any dzo newsletter you wish. Pass the "word" ZERO 2006

Welcome to your new addiction 'BIRDKEGE'. Enjoy!

Hey Kevin, Looking forward to the wingsuit boogie in Eloy, October.

Have you heard about the high-speed skyvan exit, when I left first, zoomed up and over the tail, maxxed forward while the rest of the flock was exiting. I sped over the fusalage, between the props, popped the cabin hatch and summersalted, head first into the co-pilot seat. The pilot, motioned me to exit again and to stay exited this time! Took the whole flight to catch up to the flock. Then I woke up! Could happen! In your dreams!

Matt, Chuck and i suffer from some slight inabilities to write exactaly what we mean, but somehow are able to comprehend each other just fine. The attachment point is different on the SI and S3. Your pictures prove Chuck's point, that the surface area is close to the same. Thanks for the visual. How about getting back to a big 'YEE-HOORAH' for the Gibraltar crossing? Any more info available on the O2 wieght or incumberance. What must it have felt like to go 'feet wet, fly,fly,fly, then see land!

HEAR, HEAR!, Second that CONGRATULATIONS! Godd answer Scott, Thanks.

Right you are Sir! I'd forgotten the trailing edge design does flap beyond the attachment point. So, same, same regards to surface area.

Thanks for interpreting Matt. That's what I was asking. The inlets on back of the arm are for back flying in th PHI. The trailing edge on the leg wings of one pic beg questions. 'Cowlick' was probably a poor choice of word description. Lacking any aeronuatical engineering expertise, how about the term 'widows peak' as in frontal hairline of some folk's forehead. i.e., Not a straight line from ankle to ankle. And the attatchment point of the leg wing, versus the toe tip point of attachment on my SI, make me wonder if the S3 is not giving up a lot of wing surface on the trailing edge.

Excelent, thanx Scott. Any comments on the rear arm wing wents, and the tapered leg cowlick leg wing on the first suit? What is the advantage to leg wing attatchment so high on the foot arch or ankle, vs toe tip?

Too cool to spool. Can someone please translate the metric references to 'Merican'. And how about closer pics of the S3S.

See ya in the sky Perry! Great read 'whatever'. Good info!

Anybody have any info on winter dz, west coast of Mexico? Thanks.

Looking for info re winter jumping in Mexico. Seem to recall Skydive Chicago opperates somewhere on the west coast of Mexico during the winter. Any info welcome. Thanks

I know, I need help!

Don't try to antagonize me with math. Two plus two equals whatever the hell I want it to equal. I have many sides, and so do I, and so do I.

I know the difference. I'm an antagonistic.

Interesting. Also intesting, and I am not religous at all, a bumper sticker I saw today..... "When Jesus said, 'Love thy enemy, I don't think he ment, KILL THEM". I can't repeat enough, that it is not the individuals looking for a better life, who we must address. They are causing a problem, but the real source is the government south of here that is bleeding us with impunity. And who is letting this happen? Why?

Chimming in late, and don't want to ofend any serious conversation, but, Bill, got lots -o-beer. Come on down. Bring yourn peeshooter and a good ole appitittie for blood and gore. Caint shoot the ills but lots of deer and cyote and pig out of season are gonna get cooked. All seriousness aside, .........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this is serious. The disruption and destruction along our border is driving too many good folk to max reactions. Many great , many, many, good families are being driven to outlaw status to defend there own. The federal gov is turning a blind eye, because the greater good of Las Vegas hotels, and Ohmaha meat packing plants, have more sway with gov than a rancher or home owner in southern AZ. Whoerver you, wherever you are, If someone or a group of folk camped in your backyard, that might be OK. If this group left a giant pile of garbage and crap, then was followed the next day by another group, and they scattered a lardger pile and broke down your fence and let your stock roam and die, and this incursion continued day after day, week after week, month after month, and your daily routine was to address and fix the damage and your local, state, and federal government ignored you, ...you suck and die, or you fight, somehow. POWER TO THE PEOPLE, RIGHT ON! The folk in southern Az have exercized an incredible amount of self control and Christian restraint. These folk are famous for their generousity and helphullness to the less fortunouts. It is not the individuals comming across to better themselves and their families than are being affrontted by anyone. These individuals are applauded by all. The Amerrican Dream is alive and well, and supportted by us on the border. The problem is the 'mass' cyote driven, unconcious poor souls, who know no better. The problem is that F. "FUCKHEAD" Fox will not accept resposibiltiy for the simple process of social education and controled give and take. His plus is the money sent back, costs him nothing. His control of his northern border, costs him nothing. FUCK FOX!

I'm remembering th Rawanda genocide, while we all watched the OJ trial. "aftershock" is what I heard re: Indonesia. Ninety days after, "aftershock"! Is this correct?

Deep in the sand seems to be a favorite place to keep one's head.
