"What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been!" -- if you have to ask who it's by... Of course, David Crosby has gone on record as saying that if you can remember the 60s you weren't really there. 1966-1972 seem to exist in some sort of black hole for me, can't quite get my finger on it.

Bill, Have you never jumped a single Otter? We had one (with a -34, if I recollect) in Flagler during the '96/'97 season. Very nice jump plane, almost as fast as a twin , but very comfortable and quiet in the cabin. didn't even need a step to get into the door. One drawback is that it didn't like even the least bit of crosswind component. We got around that by getting permission for the pilot to use any surface he wanted/needed. Sweet plane.

Stan Getz and Astrid Gilberto -- inspired by a 14 y/o in a thong bikini on the beach in Rio in 1963(?). She (the girl) is still famous in Argentina today.

Agreed. But what really fascinates me is the couples who get divorced, then remarry each other. That's true stupidity. Thanks a lot, Sunshine. We love you, too. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Actually, there may be an option closer during the PIA doings. Will let you know as things get finalized. Who else from here is planning on coming to PIA or the USPA BOD meeting? Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Lisa, Read the thread "woman Has To Save Herself..." They did a decent job, not too much hype escept for the promo bit. Main thing is Michelle came off fine (wearing a dropzone.com t-shirt at that) and the host made the good comment that her training was stronger than her panic.

Phree, The Naro is TSOed in the States. I hade one for my first container -- actually Rocky sold me a virtually new one complete with Skymaster and Tempo canopies. It makes a great first rig for us big boys. Just looks a bit funky with the static line loops sewn on to the back panel. I wouldn't think any "normal" size jumpers would care for one any more than they would a Student Vector, however. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Sure they do, it is the individual's work units that are credited. Just leave one group and join the skydiver's Alien Network. We can use all the support we can get. I have been running SETI@Home for almost 3 years on various and sundry camputers. My laptop takes about 11 1/2 hours to run a unit and my computer here at the house runs a unit in a little under 6 hours. I have processed 2086 units to date.

What's the most vivid memory about your first jump?
jceman replied to prepheckt's topic in The Bonfire
Aff out of a C182 at Salado, TX(skydive Temple). Felt great and relaxed on the ride to altitude. JMs went over the dove flow and I felt great. When we turned on jump run, I felt a momentary feeling of sheer terror as the door opened, but it passed. I think that's the second most vivid memory. On the video, you canhear me giving the hotel check, so I guess I was pumped! I was amazed by the sound of freefall, did most of my dive flow as planned, skipping the second COA because we were at 6000 feet already, did my 5,5 wave and pulled. I was waiting for a shattering opening shock, but was surprised how gently the Manta opened -- that's still my most vivid memory. I knew I was hooked then and there.

I think your Lutheran learning is a bit different than mine. We were taught the three omnis -- That God is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. Yes, He gave his angels charge to watch over us, but He is present in all things according to what we were taught. Really seems that the Native Americans weren't that far off in their respect of the spirits in all aspects of the world. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Personally I preffer sacrificing virgins. More fun than doing it with chickens, but to each his own. Are there any virgins on this Forum who want me to sacrifice them? Calling Viking...
