    I know the feeling...and I think I have it a little worse, I was activated for the National Guard that was last december. I haven't made a jump since! Try getting lost in Bagdad cause you can't stop thinking about new gear, old friends, and amazing jumps... and what is worse than that, is that there hasn't been a cloud in the sky for the past 6 months... So REALLY know how you all feel!!!! -Scott -------------------------------------------------- What doesn't kill you... only requires brief hospitalization!!

    The only problem i have right now is that I am in Bagdad, so I only have what other people are telling me... I'm not ordering it untill I get back... I would just like to know what other people thought of them so I can have an idea of what to expect. -Scott -------------------------------------------------- What doesn't kill you... only requires brief hospitalization!!

    Well, depending on when in OCT or NOV it would be, I might be back from bagdad by then.. and will still "technically" be on active duty... So if I am Back, I am up for it. -Scott -------------------------------------------------- What doesn't kill you... only requires brief hospitalization!!

    Ok... I talked to my DZO last night and she suggested the NITRON by precision. Has anyone had any experiences with these? I have heard some good things, the only thing that makes me think a little more about it, is that she just recently became a distributor for precision. She tells me that it is better than either the stilletto or the Xfire. The Nitron is new to me so what can you tell me? Thanks again for all your help!! -Scott -------------------------------------------------- What doesn't kill you... only requires brief hospitalization!!

    Ever since I started jumping the stilletto 150 people have advised working on canopy skills... and I am one to take advice from ones I trust, so I got started real early, that is why I feel it is a safe step. As far as the list of questions... have done all at one point or another. you said that you have flown both? How do you compare them? speed? turns? landings? recovery arc in comparison to the stilletto? thanks for all your help -Scott -------------------------------------------------- What doesn't kill you... only requires brief hospitalization!!

    I am looking for a canopy that will carry me for a couple hundred jumps(if not a thousand)... this is my treat to myself when I get back to US... I am thinking of better flight characteristics... and 100 jumps was just a rough guess... -------------------------------------------------- What doesn't kill you... only requires brief hospitalization!!

    Alright, I got a question for everyone... I am about to buy my second set of gear, and I am debating on canopies... I can't decide, it's either a Stiletto 135 or a crossfire2 129.... I haven't had to much experience with the icarus canopies, but I have heard some positives, Untill now I have been jumping a stiletto 150 for about 100 or so jumps... Your thoughts. Thanks blue ones. -Scott -------------------------------------------------- What doesn't kill you... only requires brief hospitalization!!
